Meta:IP block exemption/en

A local Meta IP block exemption provides for affected users to be exempt from local autoblocks and hard IP rangeblocks. Additionally, it also provides for trusted users to edit through the Tor anonymity network since the  user right is not available to all registered users, as it is on nearly all other Miraheze user wikis by virtue of it being included in the default permissions for the   group.

It is chiefly granted by Meta administrators for users that have a clear need and/or are trusted, usually via Administrators' noticeboard.

Additionally, Stewards may grant the group
 * 1) Where a request for a global IP block exemption has been requested (mostly commonly privately, but also via stewards' noticeboard) in a limited set of contextually-relevant circumstances;
 * 2)  Where Meta administrators have not responded to a request within a reasonable period of time; or,
 * 3)  Where Meta administrators have referred a request to Stewards; or,
 * 4)  Where a legitimate user would be adversely affected from a hard IP rangeblock and they're chiefly only active on Meta Wiki.

Revocation
The group may be revoked by the aforementioned for any reason, but the most common reasons being (a) there is no longer an apparent need or (b) where the there is overwhelmingly obvious behavioural evidence that the user has misused multiple accounts on Meta Wiki in accordance with user accounts policy; however, in such cases where the Meta administrator is able to make that determination, they most likely would have already reported the concerns to Stewards for global remediation
