Is it possible to ban an entire country from my V-Bulletin board? I really need to get rid of the UK members.
I had a supermod that went crazy on my site and deleted all the threads in 2 sections. I've ip banned him but it looks like he has a bunch of other accounts and ip's.
I'm serious someone help me BAN ALL THE U.K. MEMBERS FROM MY SITE....

Google UK IP addresses, and then mass-ban IP ranges from the the admincp.
Cheers

You can ban entire IP ranges by simply using the first 3 numbers and the dot, so instead of banning 215.654.22.88 and just banning that one IP from China, you could just use 215. (3 digits plus dot!)
This will ban every ip addy which starts with 215, which is normally the country identifier.
works great for me, :D

Just select format and country you want to block. You can then easily block UK IPs at the server level or in an htaccess file.
There's also http://www.blockacountry.com/ - similar thing but they only do .htaccess block lists.
