Why are anonymous signups assumed guilty of abuse before anything happens? How about limiting usage initially, with progressive raising of limits based on time elapsed with non-abusive behaviour (something like credit card limits)? People should be able to establish good *online* reputations that are not tied to their physical identity. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
