:: so Just for checking, it's perfectly fine for a blocked user to continue editing articles under a different named when they are blocked? and thus causing thoese pages to get protected to thier verison of the page? what's the point of a block then? (aka Reithy's sockpuppets after you blocked him were the reason the page was potect) [[User:Chuck F|Chuck F]] 05:42, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:[[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|Blocks]] are not [[Wikipedia:Banning policy|bans]]; it's a subtle distinction, but it exists. If a vandal is blocked for vandalism, yes, it's perfectly fine if he goes and edits something else, as long as he doesn't continue vandalizing—and Reithy's sockpuppet edits on [[Ron Paul]] were not vandalism.
