How do people not understand the problem? There are not "temporarily good" and "temporarily bad" Tor IPs. Every single Tor IP is at any second a possible threat

How do people not understand the problem? There are not "temporarily good" and "temporarily bad" Tor IPs. Every single Tor IP is at any second a possible threat. This is the nature of the network - any Tor client can connect through any given Tor exit node at any given time. One single client can hit through every single Tor exit node in less than an hour's time. When that client is malicious, and any "well-written" piece of software that is using Tor for malicious purposes would be, they rotate through servers quickly specifically to avoid IP blacklisting as much as possible.
Couple that with most clients passing all the same fingerprintable data (browser brand and version, OS version, etc), and you can't uniquely identify different clients coming from the same IP with any level of accuracy.
There is no solution where everyone wins. Simple as that.
