I know that these anon proxies are annoying. But I would prefer if we continued our curent whack-a-mole game in the interest of freedom of speech. Most sock puppet users don't know about anonymizers anyway.
I agree with that, and suggest that perhaps we can set up something short of banning all anon. proxies to make the whack-a-mole game easier. Perhaps even extended to all anon. vandalism, not just anon. proxies.
One suggestion is a "Recent changes from all IPs that have, at one point or another, been banned". Would make it easy to see if any of them have returned after the expiry of the IP ban, and would make any damage they cause very transient.
