I had a discussion with FT2 on IRC a few hours ago. 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?
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?
