Do you get that much vandalism from Thailand using
open proxies? If not
then why not just not block open proxies in Thailand?
Question one I do not know. Question two is because it is policy to block
open proxies. And the reason we block open proxies is that:
* it is foundation policy
* people who use proxies usually do this to avoid being blocked. It is never
necessary to use open proxies to edit Wikipedia
* people who standard work from an open proxy, know how to disable it
At least, that's what I read from a discussion at IRC and the Dutch
Wikipedia page about the policy. The sysop who actually does the blocking
has not said anything about the issue yet.
