Recently KalKent and ARameriz were autoblocked. I sent an email to Wikia and this was the response I received:

"Thanks for contacting Wikia. These filters that are causing the blocks are actually something that Marvel Database has written for themselves. You seem to have two filters currently, which you can view at Special:AbuseFilter. If you wish to turn off the "auto-block" feature of these filters, click Filter ID, locate the box that says "Block the user and/or IP address from editing", uncheck the box, and then save the filter. No more autoblocks should happen after that. "

I am hesitant to follow these instructions as I did not write the filters and have absolutely zero idea of what purpose they serve. Any idea on the proper course of action?
