[WikiEN-l] Question for Jay and Slim: Checking EXISTING admins for open proxy use

Those thousands are all in the same range though - a competent
checkuser wouldn't be fooled by that. (It might turn a "confirmed"
into a "likely", but that's all.) The problem with open proxies is
that there is no connection between the different addresses. When you
can access lots of WLANs there are all within 100m of eachother, or
whatever - a checkuser would probably be able to tell they were in the
same city.
