Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Cookie block exception option for hard IP blocks

Random proposal ►◄ Admins and patrollers The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Cookie block exception option for hard IP blocks

Problem: "When an IP address is blocked with the option to include logged-in users (e.g. hardblocked), the block includes a cookie block." Once a user hits this kind of block (e.g. using a VPN), they still get the block message for the blocked IP even if they turn off the VPN. This confuses good faith users who happen to accidentally hit open proxy blocks.
Proposed solution: Add an option to exempt a block from cookie blocks. This could be enabled by admins, stewards, and bots doing proxy blocking.
Who would benefit: Users who accidentally hit proxy blocks and turn off their proxies after noticing it.

Discussion

Having to spend a lot of time referring registered users caught in proxy blocks to IPECPROXY so they may request IPBE, I am in favor of any option that would reduce that caseload. Daniel Case (talk) 23:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SHB2000: Sure. Users can clean cookies. They can change browser. They can use incognito mode. None of these solves the problem, which is that many users are encountering confusing blocks about IPs they are not currently using, and they end up at various venues for support, like VRT.

Support On VRTS, we often have to tell good faith editors who previously used VPN to delete their cookies to be able to edit WP again. — Jules* ^talk 21:16, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support IP block is an effective way to prevent vandalism. But it is also an obsolete way that could harm large amounts of good-faith users. I hope there will be more technical ways to prevent vandalism. Thanks. SCP-2000 08:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
