HBC AIV helperbot and rangeblocks

Hello JamesR! I've noticed on a few occasions that the HBC AIV Helperbot 5 doesn't remove an IP address from WP:AIV if it is covered by a rangeblock. (I've noticed this a lot with IPv6 addresses, since I almost always block at the /64, but perhaps it's true for IPv4 as well.) Would you consider updating the bot to handle this? (I can potentially help implement this if needed, but I wanted to check with you first to see if you've already explored this and decided not to implement it for some reason.) Thanks!

@ST47: Hi there, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I have heard of reports that won't get removed due to the rangeblock and while I'd definitely consider updating the bot, I unfortunately don't have the time in the near future to do this. Nevertheless, I'm always happy for you to adjust the source and let me know so I can push it out. I don't think it needs too much of a tweak I'm sure :) — JamesR (talk) 05:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
