Folks,
I use Tor to access this forum because I don't like the very idea of my ISP tracking my kinky stuff and selling this information to whoever pays enough. However, it seems the forum blocks Tor as a spam bot prevention measure. Symptoms are an error message:
"Oops! We ran into some problems.
Your IP address has been banned."
To be able to continue I need to click into "New circuit for this site" and reload every page a lot of times, until it chooses another exit node with a non-blacklisted IP address. This makes participation very hard for now, and I fear it will become impossible as soon more exit nodes are added to this filter.
Well, spam bot prevention is very important and a valid measure, otherwise the forum would be infested with trash, scams, bots selling illegal stuff, etc. but it seems the rule is just picking every Tor user ... even innocent cute ones :smirky-innocent-girl-face:
However, is it possible to exempt users from this rule once they were already identified as not being spam bots? I suppose there is a way to not apply the IP filters to user form group "Approved users" (or how it is called in XenForo).
