Bear in mind that for most sites which allow user
upload... well,
their system would work quite well. URL blacklisted, disappears from
view; the rest of the site is unaffected. Even were someone to spam
youtube with abusive videos, they could be filtered without any
significant adverse effects once reported. Not many sites deal with
IPs of their visitors quite the way we do...
1) Their system was dropping connections under a wikipedia loads.
Hitting them with youtube as well would cause issues.
2)while most sites don't use IPs to the extent we do most of them like
having them available as a factor to work with and taking that away
would annoy them
3)Depending on who is operating the proxies in question privacy issues
start kicking in.
