Theres no way to be certain what exactly they were doing on your site unless you have some sort of tracking script.

Thank you Alfa1 and Bellardia.

What happens if instead of banning 92.48.203., I go in and ban 92.48.?
Presumably that broadens the ban exponentially?

You could end up banning entire ISP's, or just massive amounts of people.
using one wild card should be enough to keep them away from you.

just do email verification on registration and human verification and they will increase ur verified members lol also u can ban certain email address they r registering with n ban them like @yahoo.com common n hotmail.com but this will bann everyone else too from using those emails. other then that i suggest u install anti bots or rbl proxy checking. though that will block dial up and some dsl users

If you notice spam coming from a certain country often, you can use this site and generate a list of country specific IP addresses to block for your htaccess http://blockacountry.com

Depending of the type of forum you have, you may not desire traffic from specific countries, specifically those that generate alot of spam.

Of course it broadens the ban. :) You ban all IPs in the range of 92.48.0.0 to 92.48.255.255 (92.48.0.0/16 in CIDR notation).

I use the guest tracking Mod and Is Bot Registration Mod, That stops all Spammers in their Track as well as Keeping me upto date with whats happening

What do you all think about blocking anonymous proxies?

What are the best sites to check out IP addresses that don't seem to be kosher?

What are your thoughts on this-
