Okay, here's my problem...

...Jioruji Derako couldn't give me an answer, so I'm going to ask on the forums. You see, 9/10 of the time, I receive this "tor exit node" error thing. The Ol' Wikipedia gives an answer that I can't make heads or tails of. So, uh, here's a sample message:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
Your IP address, XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, has been automatically identified as a tor exit node. Editing through tor is blocked to prevent abuse.

You can view and copy the source of this page:

So, anyone know what this means? Does it have anything to do with MediaWiki 1.14?

It means your IP is shared with an IP that does bad things on an auto-blacklist, I think. Do you use Tor? Or is this just bad random chance?

 

[White Len]

Bad random chance, sadly.

Unless the accursed Singapore Internet companies force our IPs through tor, I can see no reason why I would have Tor.

 

[Jioruji Derako]

The new CheckUser options we have allow us to see if an IP is going through TOR, and it says none of Opti's IPs are on the TOR network, so I don't know why it's acting up.

Even more odd is probably the fact that the problem fixed itself. -.-;

 

[Archaic]

And given that it fixed itself on the same day we (and by we, I mean Zhen) updated the TOR blocker, I'd say that your IP got removed from the central TOR blacklist.
