Back on topic, is it necessary for good users seeking IP block exemption
to be
checkusered? I doubt it.
IP block exemption is rarely given because it allows someone to keep
editing on
their main account when a sock is blocked.
Hmm. I guess Tor does too ;)
Tor exemption should be separate from IP block
exemption.
..so ignore that comment ;)

ensuring
that the TorBlock extension shows an understandable error message
and sends people to a translatable page with instructions valid for all
language editions of our projects with current poliecies (most projects
will have none).
