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:
- 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?
With the extended Tor autoconfirm requirements, the second doesn't really seem necessary, semi-protection should work. If there are still problems with Tor abuse on semi-protected articles, the Tor autoconfirm restrictions can be raised without having to worry about significant impact to most users. As for the first, would users who meet the extended autoconfirm requirements or have ipblockexempt still be listed?
