If I really wanted I could switch on the proxy blocking, which would
catch Tor too, but community consensus is we only do that when a
concerted troll is really pushing it (we're not popular enough for it
to be a regular thing).
For the moment I've set default abusefilter block duration to 314159
seconds, and assumed that anyone who catches it repeatedly will get
blocked repeatedly.

Just a guess here, but couldn't you load a list of
Tor exit nodes into a filter and have it deny an edit if those IPs hit certain keyword

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] AbuseFilter block duration - can it be made different for IPs?
The default block duration for AbuseFilter is indefinite.
$wgAbuseFilterBlockDuration can be set to alter this.
My question is: can we make it different for IPs?
The use case here is RationalWiki, which is currently getting a very
tedious troll coming in from Tor. We don't actually want to switch off
Tor and other proxies except in dire circumstances, but we would quite
like the AbuseFilter (whose rules we have highly tuned) to block its
positives for, say, a few days. (Usernames, they can stay indefinite.)
Is there a way to do this - different behaviour for usernames and IPs?
