It's usually not a good practice to block IP addresses for multiple months for single infractions.  These are often public computers and long term blocks could prevent any number of legitimate users for accessing SmashWiki.  If an IP is repeating offenses, then it is either a vandals computer and/or a proxy, at which point it is fine to unleash the ban hammer.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 21:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
