User talk:Pcj

Hi, I blocked an IP address because it had created a page with an advert on it, but then you unblocked it with the message "This is an invalid IP. Large numbers of people are being blocked because of the AWS addressing". Can you explain more what this means, I didn't understand. Thank you. Hedonicbro (talk) 00:12, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Since the move to AWS, most if not all users now show as coming from an IP starting with 172.31, therefore if you block an IP in that range you may block good users along with bad users. There is a fix in the works, but until then the only workaround is to not block those IP addresses. You may want to join the Gamepedia Slack to stay on top of this and other issues. --Pcj (talk) 02:13, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
