Apologies for forking yet another thread from one which I myself
have been largely ignoring. AFAICT, though, most posts have
shown little interest in combining different approaches:
* Provide a "default" sandbox.
* Allow unrestricted access -- perhaps after a quiz, perhaps when
a user activates a form.
* Let IDS trigger sandbox mode.
* Provide IDS-triggered-sandbox override for those who agree in
writing to <blah>.
* Anyone in the IDS-proof class who spews filth deserves to be
fined.
* Use different IP ranges for different service classes. Flag in
rwhois, a special RRTYPE, or whatever suits one's fancy. (This
assumes that providers could agree on a standard.)
Perhaps no one tactic fixes everything. Fine. I readily admit
that the above combination isn't a miracle cure. But is there a
moderate chance for improvement? I think so.
A substantial part of the problem is critical mass. Few networks
want to be the first to take the plunge. I wonder what happens
first... networks improve community spirit? government [attempts
at] regulation? users get fed up and reduce Internet service
consumption?
