I will gladly take _any_ solution that allows me to prevent Tor users from accessing my forum. It is already a _major_ issue in my community, and in my opinion, it has the potential to have a ripple effect in other communities if more people end up learning about it.

This feature in particular is disastrous and essentially renders IP bans as useless.
