Request reason:
My IP has been blocked from making edits as part of a broader block on a range of IP addresses belonging to a data center (70.38.0.0/17; block reason is "webhost"). I proxy all my web traffic through a dedicated server at that data center for security reasons. This is NOT a shared proxy -- I'm the only one with access to it. If you check the history of edits from my IP, you should only find good-faith edits from this account, no spam or vandalism (indeed, if there is any suspicious activity from my IP, I'd like to know about it!). I received an exemption from a general block like this once before (maybe a year ago?), and I'm still using the same IP, so I assume the exemption was revoked inadvertently. I'd like to be exempted again, please.
Accept reason:
I've given back your IP block exemption status. The issue was that, since you have not edited in a long time, I did not know whether or not you were under any hardblock or not, nor do I remember what IP range you were using, because CheckUser information only lasts for so long. –MuZemike 23:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
