tl;dr preventing spam by blocking all TOR users is lazy.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoJust depends on the service. You're not lazy just because you decide something isn't worth it. I've worked on some services where I'm not exaggerating to say that almost all Tor traffic was abuse.
- vmception 6y agoBut its more likely that one person was doing one thing taking up the majority of the badnwidth originating from tor And the distinct users would be trying to do another thing
- coronadisaster 6y agoMaybe they had to block TOR because someone asked them to, like the Government
- forgotmypw17 6y agoI agree. They could set up a public queue for moderation of edits suggested from untrustworthy IPs by users with trustworthy IPs and accounts. Community-based fully open spam moderation is a beast hard to contend with for even large entities.
