Is there a way to allow exempt IPs to edit
through Tor anyway?
I mean exempt usernames (I believe sysops are presently immune to IP
blocks, for example).
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights
You'll notice an extra permission under User, called
torblock-unblocked, or something. All that would need to be done is
for that to be reassigned to a user group given out.
However, I don't like the idea of hard-blocking tor, even when we do
give out flags to people who need to use it. I maintain that we are
best to come up with some other form of novel handling that balances
the need to prevent vandalism with other needs.
I think that, for users who don't have a certain permission, marking
tor edits as such in recentchanges would be an excellent step in that
direction.
