Those thousands are all in the same range though - a competent
checkuser wouldn't be fooled by that. (It might turn a "confirmed"
into a "likely", but that's all.) The problem with open proxies is
that there is no connection between the different addresses. When you
can access lots of WLANs there are all within 100m of eachother, or
whatever - a checkuser would probably be able to tell they were in the
same city.
True; you're right.
Still, the real question of this thread is that we need affirmation that
the same checks and balances will be applied and enforced with the same
level of disclosure to purported "core community" and senior people as new
admins.
No one is to be more special than anyone else.
