I think this mod is a great idea. A few things that might be helpful... I still want to allow users that have javascript disabled. For one, the search engine bots come in like that and who knows what this will do to them. It would be nice if that could be an option. How much would that reduce the effectiveness? For some, 50% is better than nothing (while still allowing non-javascript browsers if possible).
Second, someone else had a good idea of only using this for the register page. Since registration IPs are permanently logged, that is really all that is necessary for some forums -- unless they are hacking accounts. Does it block guest proxy access to the forum completely or only when a user tries to post?
Another person had a suggestion of keeping a log or report (like create a thread) of users using anon-proxies. That's a neat idea as well. The RBL-Proxy checker mod (that is now unavailable) would auto-ban users who registered with a proxy.
