Comment:

 [http://www.livejournal.com/bots/ About LiveJournal bot policy]
 Main: no more than 5 connections per second and caching results.

 Probable solution: appeal from TorProject to LJ according to
 [wiki:TheOnionRouter/TorGuideUniversities "How do I make my University /
 ISP / etc happy with my exit node?"] and feature "request delay to site".
 If a caching of request results on Tor-exit is available, acceptably and
 without security holes, it could propose a bonus to LJ reducing load to LJ
 servers by caching on Tor-exits.

 Temporary workaround: ExcludeExitNodes setting of client options in torrc
 with LJ-banned Tor-exits. It would work until LJ bans all Tor-exits.

 Also, look at active LJ support requests with banned IP (some IP - Tor-
 exits):

 IP - Tor-exits)]

 Emails to webmaster @ livejournal.com do nothing.
