Sysops have the ability, and the authorisation, to block the IPs of persistent vandals. These blocks should last for a maximum of one month, in the case of static non-proxy IPs. In the case of dynamic or proxy IPs, the blocks should be as shortlived as possible, to avoid inconveniencing genuine contributors, depending on the number of people potentially affected. In the case of [[:m:No open proxies|open proxies]] blocks should be made for 1-3 years.
