I had a discussion with FT2 on IRC a few hours ago. He said that he would be happy to have a soft-block, with these provisions: 1. A special page exists which allows the monitoring of recent tor edits. Perhaps Special:Recentchanges/tor? 2. A new protection level is added, which allows tor users to be prevented from editing an article, which, for instance, has concerns with regard to sockpuppeting and so on.
What do others think of these?
