So wouldn't the correct solution also be to educate the administrators
of such services? I mean the only reason, why there is more Tor-Exit-IPs
in the abuse log than any other single unique IP is that there is tens
of thousand of users using each Tor-Exit.

I had such a case some days ago on an exit relay, someone with an Google
account complained that there where abusive logins from the Tor Exits
IP, so what should I do then? Block the whole login page domain of
Google in my exit? Surely that is not the right solution if there is a
few thousand users not trying to brute force that one account.
I didn't even get any more reply from the Google user when I asked if
this was only a single event or if it was multiple repeated.

Opening only selected ports, a common practice, could also be seen as censoring, still it's generally considered to be acceptable. Apparently it's not enough to gain a good reputation.

Sure, but always answer to the abuse emails and try to explain, if you
receive a few a week then prepare some text modules that you just copy
an paste, make it look unique and many people will understand.
