If I really wanted I could switch on the proxy blocking, which would
catch Tor too, but community consensus is we only do that when a
concerted troll is really pushing it (we're not popular enough for it
to be a regular thing).

For the moment I've set default abusefilter block duration to 314159
seconds, and assumed that anyone who catches it repeatedly will get
blocked repeatedly.
