Ummm... if your IP *does* change, then according to authoritah, you should still request an unblock here on this talkpage, and just explain that your new IP as of Tuesday (or whatever), and this IP as of last-week-at-time-of-this-writing, are the same human. Blocks are per-human, as are unblocks; that they are technically tied to uids/IPs is a niggly implementation detail best ignored.  ;-)   Furthermore, you'll be *able* to edit the userfied pages under this IP, from whatever your new one is, right? This is true per niggly-technically-stuff, of course, but also true per policy as I understand it; while blocked, you are supposed to use your talkpage for getting unblocked... and in my book, doing some good-faith edits on the article about Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sam Spencer-Lane or whatever (in userfied form to avoid "technically" socking from the new IP) would be indicative of WP:HERE, eh?

No, because if the IP user turned up on a new IP address (such as, I don't know, "Sky Broadband" or something) and admitted to being the same person, they'd be blocked. They couldn't edit the userfied page in another-user-talk-page, because that would be circumventing a block.

Admins would block it immediately, because the user-block was a CU block. The CU has refused to answer the original block.

The only other way to appeal is to ArbCom, but they won't bother with the case, because it's a new-user with very few edits, so not worth all the trouble.

So the only choice for the IP is - against policy - to forget about it all, and use other IPs.

Such is the stupid way things work.
