Should Apricity block TOR and other proxies?

[Loki]

First I need to know why

There are some troublesome users who continue to re-register with Tor.

I know that not everyone who uses proxies are bad - for some it's essential to block their identities for some reasons.

I think you can get a list from tor and get the addresses to block if you don't want to bother with the upgrade.

I guess it depends how much of troll problem you have but I would probably do it to nip things in the bud.

Some of the psycho people rejoin with Tor to create more problems, so yes

In my spare time i use the local pc of our house and he blocked sites like this, porn and torrents too. So tor is the only solution for me.

What's TOR?

Yeah TOR proxies should be blocked imo. Regular VPN ones no, you would only harm the monthly visits of the forum since many people may only surf using them.
I don't see why tor proxies shouldn't get banned since they are probably banned in any other forum i know besides here to avoid problems.

Imo, there's probably A LOT of tor users on this forum.. I just imagine how rapidly your member database decreases.

It's not an upgrade, it's a 5-minute script install. Easy.

You mean double accounts? Why would one want to use Tor? Any good reason?
