What I've heard is that the edits from tor were over 90%
spam/vandalism, so the IPs get blocked pretty quickly. Torblock (the
tool) lets us do it preemptively.

Unfortunately, removing the blocks to test those assumptions could
generate a lot more work for our already overworked vandalism
fighters, so I would be hesitant to even test it. But if someone has a
wiki, and wants to setup torblock with an abusefilter rule to tag
edits from tor nodes, and measure the spam/ham ratios, I would be
interested in the results.
