[tor-relays] Individual Operator Exit Probability Threshold

[Dylan Issa]

Definitely be careful, though, especially if they’re from the same hosting provider account. It will increase the chance of receiving an abuse report: and if someone is using Tor to attack and your exits are all picked then that chance just unfortunately increased. It would be a shame to get your nodes instant terminated in that event. 
Be careful ;)
