I have no intention of leaving.
I was considering how/if I would report, but, since this is now cleared. No sweat

The CSSU page also has this problem. It's at "Thumbers", "Features", "Changelogs", "QA and Bugs", and "Development"

This was a new attack executed from same IP range.
Corrected that in wiki.

New turn of the screw. Blacklists have been extended and merged from multiple sources to make spammer's life harder.

It also makes Tor users lives harder. :(
Fair enough if it blocks Tor users from updating the wiki but I can't even view it now!

@wicket
There is no explicit will to block the tor network, but if one of their exit points is blacklisted because it's reported to be used for malicious activity i don't think we should create a whitelist for it.

If you have further details about the tor ip currently blocked we can make a check.

I realise this. Unfortunately the Tor network is frequently abused for malicious activity so it's not uncommon for Tor IP addresses to appear on blacklists.

I'm not so much interested in getting a specific Tor IP address unblocked. I'd prefer that the blocking occurs only when attempting to update the wiki rather block the entire site site so it can't be viewed. Another possible solution would be to implement some sort of human verification such as CAPTCHA when registering an account or updating the wiki.
