Tibet closed the thread http://khanacademy.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:65002 and I make it a personal policy to not change things he does on his message wall, but I wanted to let you know that what you said in your edit is absolutely correct!

It is unfortunate that once in awhile an accidental typo may cause a temporary block, but in my experience it is an extremely rare occurrence and easy to apologize for. After explanation, I have never had anyone that exhibited any hurt feelings, they always seemed to understand the concern.

It is much more simple to let the filter assign a block and then undo the block. Usually someone will email me, or they will let someone else know that will email me, and then we can simply lift it. This is far less work then the 1-2 hours we sometimes used to have to spend to undo one vandal attack. In fact, since the abuse filter went active, the only real attack of significance we have had is "Union Jack 42!"

For an example, here is the message I wrote to LR following his accidental ban. http://khanacademy.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:65001 His response seems to indicate that there were no hurt feelings! TJ, Tibet, Virus or myself can all lift blocks, so if you see that someone was accidentally blocked please feel free to reach out to any of us, and we will get on it as soon as we can!

Thank you for your help!
