[Foundation-l] Autoblocking on all wikis now ?!?!?!

[Robin Shannon]

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.)
