I'm quite sure none of those actually need to infinite â the spammers don't probably even have the same IP any more, they've changed it a million times already for the blocks created on June. Some of the blocks even block creation of accounts! | ||

Spam control with the amount of spam we currently have here would be relatively easy if we had enough activity â however in the current situation in which most of the entries on [[Special:Recentchanges]] are blocks, deletions and reverts of spam, it just doesn't work. | ||

Instead we need to figure out a decent duration after which the block expires â two weeks, month, two months â pretty much anything but infinite. Also, we need to think if we need to allow anonymous edits at all.
