Forum:Notice: Wikia IP blocking error

I've had intermittent occasions of being blocked from editing for spurious reasons. The blocks in question seem to be "local internet addresses" in the 10.8.xxx.xxx block. I wrote to Wikia community support asking about the problem. Here is their reply:

I expect that a corollary of the issue MIGHT be that attempting to block an IP (vs a user ID) may fail if the IP registered to be blocked is such a 10.8.x.x address. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:32, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
