We are not looking for a perfect solution. Yes, Wikis will be
vandalized. We're prepared to deal with that, we do deal with that.
But what I am seeking is some efforts to think usefully about how to
helpfully reconcile our dual goals of openness and privacy.
Wikipedia should allow Tor users to register Wikipedia nyms.
Then they could block:
Tor users trying to edit without a nym;
Tor users trying to edit with a nym that has a bad reputation;
and they could rate-limit
Tor users trying to edit with a nym that has insufficient history
to be classified as good or bad;
while not blocking
Tor users trying to edit with a nym that has a good reputation.
s/Tor/all/g
This is an excellent summation, except that there is no compelling reason to
treat Tor-carried traffic differently than any other traffic. Credentialing
and reputation tracking are good ideas, and should be applied universally.
