This isn't something the Tor Project needs to fix There are things the tor project and surrounding community could do to help here. For example, If I could anonymously donate $10 to a charity and in return receive a persistent nym which I could use to get around those kinds of blocks... I'd be hesitant to misbehave and get my nym blocked. (And forums should feel good about whatever small residual amount of spammers who do buy donation nyms, because even though they spam their need to keep buying nyms support the charities). But no practical software infrastructure exists for this sort of thing today. And until it does any education/advocacy will not go too far because it doesn't offer much in terms of real alternatives. "It's not really so bad." "Yes it is, or we wouldn't have bothered putting in the blocking in the first place" "er.." _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl leitl http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE --===============2223805858374134665==--
