Hi,
It's not the first time I hear about Non-Exit IP blocked (but may be some people here are more familiar with the subject) : I don't really know what are the most used interfaces/websites from which those administrators are getting the list of IP addresses before blocking them (are they downloading the full consensus list like tor clients or from another website ?).
May be websites proposing these lists should split them in 2 distinct lists, and normally show only exit nodes unless something very precise is asked by the user for seeing all tor relays including non exit. For lazy/angry administrators trying to definitely block all Tor IP addresses without considering giving any another time or second chance it would avoid some of these non exit relays blocked ? Of course ideally those administrators are doing some mistake and the problem is coming from them more than from anybody else (or may be bad users, too). But into the facts, when a mistake is repeatedly done, may be changing some things should be considered ? If possible of course (it's not always simple or quick).
dnsbl.info used to provide two tor-related lists: (1) all nodes and (2) exits. Some webmasters could use the first one by mistake. Fortunately today they provide only the list of exits: http://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-list.php
