Normally, [[WickedGov:Blocking policy|blocks]] against IP addresses do not affect logged-in users from that IP address. However, on some IP addresses, such as open proxies and other addresses that are persistently abused, logged-in editing is also disabled. Users in the IP block exemptions group (<code>ipb-exemption</code>) are immune to these blocks.
