== [[meta:No open proxies|Open proxy]] blocking ==

Hi Synoman Barris,

I personally have no issues with you blocking open proxy IP addresses per the global [[meta:No open proxies|no open proxies]] policy as it's somewhere between harmless and potentially useful in that your blocking the open proxy IP addresses ''does'' create an entry in the <code>'''[[irccloud:#cvt-feed|#cvt-feed]]'''</code>, which ''may'' give it an elevated prominence to [[meta:Global Sysops|Global Sysops]] and [[meta:Stewards|stewards]]. However, my only question is how you arrived at the varied duration of the blocks? Since they're anonymous only soft or soft-ish blocks, my first thought would be to make the local blocks for a 3-6 months, consistent with the global convention for such blocks. However, I could also see blocking for only a couple weeks to a month, since, presumably, these would be blocked on a global level.

Anyway, hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
