You mean you fufilled your obligation by making the block last only  hours  Wow what a great admin you are by partially following the rules  For the record MediaWiki  has a bug in it that automatically renews your block if you hit edit even under your regular account  That means that if someone doesnt know theyve been blocked yet and they hit edit its renwed  If they want to check the block page page again or want to see if its expired yet its also renewed  The feature is supposed to only renew if you try editing under a different account than the one you were blocked under but the bug is extending beyond that   July   UTC
