It's actually not even necessarily that that address was previously associated with any spam. All tor exit nodes are subject to evil points.

See the discussion in this thread:

Nope, quoting from the thread you linked:

When you register, the IP that you used when you submitted the registration form is used to calculate your evilness. The more frequently this IP or its neighbors were banned, the more evil is associated with your account. The amount of evil associated with an IP decays slowly over time, but the amount of evil associated with an account does not. You must pay or be manually whitelisted to enable posting on one of these "banned" accounts.

Here are some stats:

Evil	% new users
0	53
0-1	35
1-10	4.4
10-20	0.80
20-50	2.2
50-100	1.3
100+	2.9

Currently each unit of evil requires a payment of 4023 satoshi. You only need to pay something if you have 1 or more, though.

Tor is not banned per se, Tor is misused which results in a high amount of evil points per exit node. Which in turn results in the proxy ban. This would be true for any other IP/subnet that is used for spam on a regular basis. There is no anti-Tor bias here. I dont know why people keep spreading that.

Indeed, I saw that from Theymos, however others have suggested that all Tor exit nodes are assigned some evil (I think it was hillarious who told me this). If it is the case that there's not a blanket evil for tor nodes, then presumably it's also not the case that you have to pay evil for signing up via tor. If, for some reason, you got evil points on your first try, you can just make a new tor circuit and try again until you eventually find an exit node that hasn't been assigned any evil.
