If it is not to block spam, or vandalism, or denial-of-service attacks, then what is the purpose of this new policy?
To your other point, how can one establish a 'reputable account' if it is not even possible to access the site in the first instance.
- floatingatoll 5y agoReputation is a feature of identity. Tor users are, by definition and intent, unidentifiable. Opting out of identification naturally opts one out of reputation, as is the case in reality as well — for example, Anonymous using Guy Fawkes masks to prevent reputation from being associated with their citizenship identity. I don’t understand why Tor users would be interested in reputation at all, given the implicit identification it requires.
