Re: I run a Tor exit and get nonstop abuse reports.

If folks abuse your facility by spamming forums then, as SFS is entirely designed to stop spam within forums, abuse reports will be forwarded to your ISP. Sorry about that.

PS
Have you considered this alternative:

  1. Obtain an SFS API key

  2. Check all those entering your facilty against the SFS database

  3. Refuse entry on all positive results

You then instantly become that rarest of beasts: a responsible tor operator.

PM me the details.  If its TOR then I'll doubt the reports will stop, they'll keep coming as criminals will use whatever way they can to commit crime sad

Re: I run a Tor exit and get nonstop abuse reports.

That's one of the risks of running a Tor Exit Node. As stated by the Tor Project you'll need to respond with their standard "DMCA Response Template" (it applies to things other than copyright). If you need to find that template just Google the query "Response template for Tor relay operator to ISP". I don't think I am able to post links on StopForumSpam forums yet. That being said the most important part of running Tor Exit Relays is finding a server ISP who will simply forward abuse notices to you and let you deal with them hmm

My understanding of how TOR is supposed to operate, nobody in the relay chain is sure who the originator of the traffic is.  This would make it practically impossible for an exit node to filter by source node.  Presuming the exit node could relay an abuse notice back to the proper source node, I wouldn't expect it to be respected.
