Attention:

This IP address, 217.207.38.242, is registered to St Albans School, Hertfordshire and may be shared by many different users of a school. If the school uses proxy servers, this host may represent many users at many different actual computers.

Because of this, a message meant for one person may be gotten by another, and a block will be shared by many people. If you are editing from this address and are getting messages because of other people, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases, you may not be able to create an account for a while because new account creation has been blocked to stop vandalism.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block.

Note: In the event of on going vandalism, anonymous editing from this IP address may not be allowed for up to 6 months at a time while abuse reports may be sent to your school administration for investigation in cases of long-term abuse by registered users.
