I've noticed that too. Someone brought to my attention the fact that some TOR servers are blocked by the shroomery. I find this very worrying.
Surely users being able to browse and post pseudonymously on the shroomery is of the utmost importance to the security and privacy of the members here?

Yeah I'm not thrilled about blocking TOR and open proxies, but it's starting to become necessary if we want to maintain any kind of accountability on the BB. Trolls and puppets are becoming more tech-savvy, and username or IP bans barely slow them down. By requiring a valid IP to register or post, we regain a level of control over who can access the site. This is kind of essential for a community of our size.
Note that the restrictions only affect public, unsecured proxy servers, which can be (ab)used by anyone. Private servers still work fine. And you can still browse the board using a proxy, it's only registering and posting which are disabled. But again, I'm not saying this is ideal, it's just something we were kind of forced into doing. Blame the malicious puppets.

lol Sorry, I didn't make the connection.
I've posted from proxy before. It was a pain in the ass but it worked. Maybe its just that server.

yeah, wtf mate? the explanation is valid; I will be brainstorming a solution to this problem...How's 'bout allowing supporter accounts to use public proxies?? Supporter accounts wouldn't be abused by puppets, and it would increase potential membership in the supporter accounts by offering increased security and convenience. PS, if so, include a link to Torpark!

Yeah that's not a bad idea... proxy detection could probably be disabled for supporters and users with X number of posts, and it would offer a good compromise between site security and anonymity. I'll set that up later today, thanks!

Just wanted to follow up on this thread; these changes have been implemented, so now only users with under 50 posts will be checked for open proxies. Please let me know if it caused any more problems.
