Subject: [Wikitech-l] Planning to tighten TorBlock settings
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l at lists.wikimedia.org>


en.wikipedia.org and others have seen a rash of abuse coming via Tor in
the form of account creations with abusive names and such; this is
taking up a large chunk of CheckUser and oversighter time and effort,
which is apparently not too fun.

It looks like the current settings don't generally restrict various
actions to a logged-in user when accessing through Tor; is there any
objection to tightening this up to restrict edits, account creations,
etc via Tor except when the account is explicitly excepted?
