I'm not sure how should it works

i done everything but i can't see any change in the users moderation page!!

ignore me, wrong thread :P

is there gonna be a release for version 4?

This used to be a fantastic little plugin stopping ALL spam by restricting certain country IP's, however, just installed it since our upgrade to 4.1.10 and it no longer seems to be working properly, or at least causing registration problems...

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/plugins/whois.php on line 33

...when's its disabled registrations work again, anyone got any ideas?

Just curious, is this working in 4.2?
Should this be added or duplicated to go in the 4.0 mods if it is??

Just to confirm, I have this running on 4.2 perfectly fine.

Great idea. I've been blocking CIDR ranges but it's a never ending battle. The whitelist will work much better for us as we run a couple of professional forums for the Australian market. We're not really interested in posts from other jurisdictions because they are not relevant.

We do however get heaps of comment spammers from India, Pakistan, China, Vietnam and one or two other countries. We don't seem to be on the RU spammer's radar yet :)

We currently moderate first posts, but what I suspect are paid SEO spammers are getting very clever. They make detailed posts about complex topics which read like genuine posts. Fortunately they almost always trip up some way or other which raises our suspicions and we check the IP.

Frankly I would rather just stop them from registering in the first place.

The irony here is that often the products that these spammers are promoting are often US or UK products. My guess is that these companies are buying SEO services and are unaware that they are paying for comment spam.

Perhaps we need a public "name & shame" list for companies who's products or services are being promoted in our forums by comment spammers?

Installing now ....

its flagging US IP's as China and thus blocking them from registering.

How do edit the rejection email that goes out?

Love the concept but I had to uninstall it due to improper flagging and it will not allow users to accept the forum rules during registration using the default mobile style.
I have many registrations using mobile devices and I cannot afford to shut them out.
Every time a user attempts to register on a mobile device, they receive the error:
You have chosen not to accept the forum rules......
