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.
Why do you not like the idea of hard-blocking tor? What other needs
are you referring to?
