Hi,

The simplest way round this problem would be to "greylist" AOL, by preventing anon editors from editing from AOL proxy address space.
There is an ongoing discussion on en: about this very feature and a corresponding policy change, resulting in a rough consensus that this kind of weak block/greylist would be nice to have, for AOL and other dubious shared address ranges. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy_proposal.
I volunteered to help writing such a feature, but I'm completely new to the MediaWiki code, so I suppose most people here would be able to implement it much faster than I. And of course it would need support from some core developer to get it into the codebase. Anybody here willing to help?
Best regards Christian
