Nevertheless, the pertinent issue is whether it is against policy to edit through open proxies. There seems to be evidence that there isn't a consensus.
Except for the fact that admins and CheckUsers keep blocking them as soon as they come across them.
Yes, but are good edits through an open proxy an offense per se? That is the one that's a new one to me.
Well, *I* certainly don't revert them, nor do I block otherwise good editors if they are using proxies. I, like most everyone else, just block the proxies and move on. That said, the vast majority of editors using proxies (though certainly not 100%) are using them for nasty reasons.
