That is not how a lift of a ban works.

The point he was trying to raise is that that he is unable to view the wiki (read only access) from these assesses.  I did not get the impression from his original message that he wants to "lift" a ban.

I think he is suggesting that it might be reasonable to only block write access rather than all access from known spammer addresses (if it is technically feasible).
