It's rather late to comment... but I just wanted to say that we don't do global range blocks. The VSTF may ban more than one IP in a range, but they have to do each manually.

The VSTF are only allowed to block in cases of multiple-wiki spam/vandalism, but when they have to block, they go ahead and block. It's rare that anyone is caught up in the block, but if it happens again please use Special:Contact to get staff attention.

And my apologies for the prolem.
