Waerth, what is the name and contact email of your ISP? There are quite a few ppl on this list, and it certainly wouldnt hurt for your ISP to recieve a bunch of emails complaining about thier open proxy. Sure maybe it will do nothing, but then again, maybe it might just yeild good results. Maybe an officialish letter from the foundation could also be sent. And anyway, telling ppl that they are on the SORBS list and urging them to clean up thier act, has to be better than just blocking them.
Also, would it be possible to ban all users (logged-in included) on the SORBS list, then make a white list which any admin would be able to edit? (And obviously put a note on the "You are blocked cause you are on the SORBS list page" of how to apply to get onto the whitelist.)
