 > This is primarily an advocacy problem. Tor's architecture is such that
 it is meant to be easy to recognize and handle differently. This is done
 both for technical and social reasons.

 Recognize and handle differently *by Internet site admins*. It is of
 course meant to be hard to recognize as Tor traffic as it leaves your
 computer (especially if you use bridges).

 > When websites block tor users entirely, the answer is to try to contact
 them and educate them about Tor. There are many options for abuse,
 including deploying captchas to deter spam
 (https://code.google.com/apis/recaptcha/intro.html), requiring email
 address confirmation for commenters, to disabling comments but allowing
 read access.
