I presume you're already subscribing to RBL IP lists for blog spammers and similiar, to increase rank classification as new edit as potential spam, requiring explicit human approval before inclusion. If you're not yet using them, you should. If you're using them, you can just add Tor exit points into your RBL subscription, in the unlikely case they are not already there (trust me, they will be there). As long as Tor doesn't support pseudonyms, and prestige accounting there won't be a better way. Anonymity by definition is associated with zero prestige. Current Tor is designed for anonymity, not pseudonymity. A hidden trusted server could be used as a hack to implement pseudonyms and prestige tracking. This would not scale, and be easy to DoS, however. If it is not to be a hack a distributed cryptographic filestore need to be added to the Tor client. It would require nym prestige to prevent floods. This is not easy to get right. I hope I'm being clear. From your comments, I'm having the impression we're talking orthogonally to each other. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
