To '''block IP''' is a [[governance operation]] which is usually exercised by the [[sysop power structure]].  The resulting '''IP block''' prevents editing from a given Internet location (an [[IP number]]), or, in the case of an '''IP range block''', range of locations.  To '''unblock IP''' reverses this, removing a '''block'''. ''See [[Special:Blocked IP addresses]] for a list of blocks currently in effect - which typically apply to editing but not reading.''

The '''soft security''' model argues that you should block IP as little as possible, but permit various tactics ([[libel]], [[outing]], [[framing]] and other even less ethical tricks) by the [[sysop power structure]] to intimidate and harass users who do not share the [[community point of view]].  This is a bad model and is derived from [[w:left-wing politics]].
