On my FUD forum, I get a number of spammers all of which come from China or Russia. There are no legitimate users from these countries that would be accessing my Forum. I delete all users from these countries manually which is about 3-8 a day. And I manually delete their garbage posts as they come in.

I am aware of the IP filter that lets you block IP addresses or even ranges of addresses, but inputting the many addresses owned by these two countries is not an exciting proposition. Now the update I have already checks the IP address to see what country that are coming from and puts a cute little flag of their country next to their account and each post. So I know the look up is already being done. Is there a way to utilize the auto look up that is already being done to block the users of an entire country?

Could this feature be added to a future release and configured from the admin control panel?

I searched this forum and the internet multiple time for anything dealing with Blocking an Entire country but have not found anything useful. If this topic is already discussed somewhere, if you could please send me the link, i would appreciate it.

Thank you so much!

BTW - Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this product. I am so very pleased!
