User talk:Nathaniel Filip

Hello @Favonian, I have been blocked by you for a year at english wikipedia and don´t understand why. Im not very good in IT so event to work with wikipedia is sometimes a battle for me and my profile looks as the only page I can ask for help because I can´t writte and ask anywhere else. You band me because I should be some Web Host? Don´t know what that means but I definitelly not such person whatever it means. :-) What should I do now? It was just saing I should put this sentence here.

@Favonian: This seems to be correctly identified as a colocation webhost, but it is hardblocked. Can you comment? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 06:34, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Amanda: I have fallen into the habit of hard-blocking proxies/web hosts due to their frequent use by LTA lowlives. If you deem it excessive, I'm quite willing to soften the block. Incidentally, it looks like NF has found a way to edit without the use of the colocation web host. Favonian (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Favonian: I didnt find any way, Im just not blocked anymore so Im able to edit again. Im really not very good IT person and dont understand all of this. Especialy what web host means and what I did wrong that you wanted me to be blocked for one year in english wikipedia where I edit so litle. Nathaniel Filip (talk) 18:56, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's literally "nothing personal, purely business". The IP you mentioned belongs to a range (213.208.157.0/25) that enables editors to hide their real IP address when they access the internet "through" them. When I blocked the range, it was used by a very persistent troll to harass a fellow editor. Favonian (talk) 19:08, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Favonian: Ya with any colocationwebhost block I always soft block it unless there is another reason to block it differently. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 01:10, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DeltaQuad: Can anyone tell me what is webhost? And why should I be blocked for one year? Thank you. Nathaniel Filip (talk) 13:16, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Besdies the explanation above, there is Web hosting service. We are working on a way around the block for if you encounter it in the future, but it seems like you have resolved that issue. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 01:10, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
