Admins & CUs know that many vandals and spammers abuse open proxies to abuse our projects. Some of them are transparent so we know their real range but since they use proxy, blocking the underlying *real* range does no effect as they're editting through the proxy, which can be changed any time they wish. We can start blocking random proxys but that's mostly wasting our time. There are more than enough open proxies in the web. So the abuse continues. Providing us such a feature would be very good and time-saving. MediaWiki software perhaps should also check edits against and OP list (dayly updated automatically) and if matched, prevent it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
