Description:
This isn't the most common problem, but I have seen it come up a few times where some poor soul on a dynamic IP gets a vandalism warning that's several months old and panics. Can also be an issue on shared IPs, but on a much shorter time scale. Unfortunately, I have no idea whether it would be difficult or easy to make the Orange Bar of Death eventually "time out" after a few weeks or months (possibly just for IP users), so I'll pop it up here for consideration.
