it says in the aiv header that warnings must be recent bolded ip was last warned days ago sorry i know i put i miscounted days isn't recent so yes in theory your logic statement is correct ips are used by several different people so it would be unfair to penalise them all besides this wasn't even blatant vandalism if vandalism at all maybe an errant test edit but anyway enough to merit a level warning in any case if you look through the archives at wpt aiv you may find a thread on what recent means there have been several in the past b hotep talk
