Thanks for the report, I have forwarded it for removal.

Wtf, this exit has addresses that do not belong to it! https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/385527185E26937D05E0933DD29FF...
Yes, rerouting exit traffic is a practice we have observed in the past.
BadExit: Rerouting exit relays detected (1) The following exit relays are routing their traffic back into the tor network:
nickname: exitnew First seen: 2020-09-25 12:00:00 Consensus weight: 1410 AS: Choopa, LLC OR IP address: 45.63.11.98 Exit addresses: 185.140.53.7 185.220.101.207 45.154.35.219 45.63.11.98 51.158.111.157 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/385527185E26937D05E0933DD29FF1699056CA...
I'm very sure there are only nifty rabbits on the 185.220.101.0/24 subnet!
niftybummy has relays outside of 185.220.101.0/24
I am losing patience with the "let's play nice and let exit IP addresses be predictable" model... We are not being treated well by the banhammer brigade, and it might be time to flip some tables. I would not call simply using a different exit IP than your relay's OR port a bad exit.
However, re-routing exit traffic back into Tor like this is not the answer. It is simply wasteful. I am in favor of delisting such relays.
Remember that our directory authorities are deliberately independent from TPI though, and even what I think is not necessarily what TPI thinks. The dirauths may have different opinions. Coordinating policy of this nature is difficult and requires consensus building.
Again, I understand your frustration.
