SPAM

[Phil]

Hello All,

as we are using cloudflare and we are being spammed again i am starting to GeoIP Block offending countries.

At present the following countries will no longer be permitted to access these forums

India
Russia

If we continue to experience spamming i will expand this list, if you are using a VPN Tunnel i would suggest using a Point of Presence not in a country on this list

Hi Phil,

I'm happy to throw a hand in with modding/cleaning up spam if required

i thought CHINA should be on the top of the list hahahaha!!

[Phil]

for those interested in where our traffic comes from

America - 79299
France - 63833

China isnt even on our list of not allowed, most of the spam accounts i was deleting was originating from India, at present unless you have an account you wont be able to access our forums unless you are using an Australian IP Address i will more then likely expand this in the future

Hi

There has been a return of Spam. I administrator a Forum myself. I would be more than happy to put my hand up to assist here also.

I try keep on top of it - I don't come here often enough to check daily. I'll see if Phil can do some updates to the blocking settings, I don't believe I have access to that. Should be pretty easy to knock out
