I think you're confusing a relay and an exit node here. Pretty much everyone using Tor runs a node and for virtually everyone it's on IP also used for personal transactions. There are silly services which take every tor node as suspicious. They're wrong, but it doesn't matter if you get banned.

I also considered bringing up that point, but then I actually looked it up[0]:

> Tor relays are also referred to as "routers" or "nodes." They receive traffic on the Tor network and pass it along. Check out the Tor website for a more detailed explanation of how Tor works.

How does that change anything? The point is that a relay isn't an exit node, so there's no reasonable reason to block them.

You don't seem to understand what the terminology is... exit relays are relays.

> There are three kinds of relays that you can run in order to help the Tor network: middle relays, exit relays, and bridges.

There's dictionary definition and there's typical usage. When people say relay node, they typically don't mean exit nodes. Not 100% correct, but the assumption is common.
