Tor Tax / Proxy Ban

Hi,

to post via. Tor on these forums you need to pay a fee of 0.001 BTC (roughly 25 USD cents).

The money itself is not the problem, I obviously payed it. The problem is that you are discouraging the use of Tor, and are imposing a Tor Tax on your forums just like Google and CloudFlare are imposing a CAPTCHA-Tax on Tor users (really annoying and they can track you more easily). You also can not use faucets to earn this amount through Tor, as their "anti-cheat" will not let you use Tor with any faucets.

The other problem is that contacting an administrator to review your registration/proxyban is near impossible, as you can not send private messages and the admins do not have their E-Mails set to public. Other means of contact may also not work through Tor without enabling Javascript, and if you use Javascript with Tor then you might as well not use Tor at all.

Spam bots will not contact administrators... and any user who wants to bypass an IP ban can do so very easily, as many countries have dynamic IPs (restart your router).

Please allow users to at least be able to contact an administrator for a review of a proxyban.

Kind regards,
dev
