Thousands of users or IP addresses are blocked each day on WikiAnswers. While some of these are permanent, many are only temporary. For example, when a Supervisor blanks a bad answer, the IP address is automatically blocked for three hours.
As you can imagine, a lot of blocking goes on in one day and it is impossible for us to list every single user who is blocked due to reasons such as privacy concerns.
