I'm not suggesting a plain soft-block. I'm suggesting special treatment. For instance, we can handle sockpuppetry by marking edits made through tor as such in recent changes. When users have their edits revealed as made through tor, they'll go back to their open proxy farms which aren't as easily identified. I'm not sure how we sit with this in terms of the privacy policy, however.
The privacy policy only restricts the dissemination of information that could be used to identify an editor. The mere fact that someone is editing using Tor provides no such information. Indeed, posting the IP address of the exit node wouldn't be a privacy problem. That's the whole point of Tor, after all. :)
