Well, we don't allow "unbridled" anything; our administrators litter the IP address universe and logged-in users alike with blocks constantly. :) I would strongly recommend a saner signup/account moderation system for "less trusted" network origins such as Tor nodes, though. The key is that you have to actually allow creating an account from a Tor node in the first place, or you're limited to people who live in "free internet" countries or have the money or clout to go abroad to create their accounts... -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
