A bot can do that.. Provided that feed is 100% accurate. If we can't
trust the feed we can have a program verify its open and then block. (
dunno how practical it is to verify an open proxy by bot) A bot can
simply hardblock for a month and have humans check after that if theft
are still open. (most proxies don't remain open long)

Blocking *all* proxies is nigh on impossible because computers get
comprimised daily... So new "open proxies" are created daily.)
Maybe it
would if we could hook someone like
<http://www.1freeproxy.com/feed/atom/> (rss feed for just proxies) in
so that they are automatically blocked, which i believe is Wikipedia's
policy anyway.
