I'd completely agree with this. Most of the suggestions that were outlined in my summary email would work for more than just Tor. There is a great quote from Erik that I included in there as well that points towards this. We need to transition away from a framework where IP addresses are our only means to block problematic editors and towards a framework where we can do so via other less intrusive means.
