:: How? Softblocking prevents abuse by anonymous users, limiting it to logged-in user accounts, which can simply be indefinitely blocked on a case-by-case basis. If for some reason it becomes necessary to "trace" the IP address used, this can be done by a checkuser... but this is very rarely necessary: if abuse is obvious, just issue a block, why bother rooting around for other types of abuse that may be happening simultaneously? – [[User talk:Gurch|Gurch]] 19:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

== Closed proxies WikiProject proposal ==

I've proposed a WikiProject intended to help editors create closed proxies for editors in China to use. You can see the proposal at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Closed_Proxies]]. If this WikiProject draws enough interest, we'll be able to get enough servers running to draw in a substantial amount of editors in China and allow them to edit.
