We still seem to be getting edits from some AOL proxies, at least in the
195.93.21.*, 152.163.100.* and 207.200.116.* ranges. Maybe some of the
proxies are still not providing the headers, or perhaps they're missing
from our trusted XFF list?
Given that the XFF setup doesn't seem to work perfectly, the question
remains whether we should apply anon-only range blocks to those proxies.
If you look at my history of me and AOL users...I think AOL is a shithole
that should be banned from accessing any website.
However, it's much easier to ban an IP address for vandalism than a
username. People get bitchy. No one cares about blocking IP users, and I
want to keep it that way for ease of blocking.
