I added some questions and answers and that seems to have done away with them. My one site was getting like 5 a day.

.htaccess is the typical way to ban blocks of IP addresses. Although vB has a ban IP feature, I think it only does singles, not blocks. If you were going to ban all the IP in Senegal, for example, you could add the following to your .htaccess file:

Code:

<Limit GET HEAD POST>

order allow,deny

deny from 41.208.128.0/18

deny from 196.1.92.0/24

deny from 196.1.93.0/24

deny from 196.1.94.0/24

deny from 196.1.95.0/24

deny from 196.1.96.0/24

deny from 196.1.97.0/24

deny from 196.1.98.0/24

deny from 196.1.99.0/24

deny from 196.1.100.0/24

deny from 196.207.192.0/18

deny from 213.154.64.0/19

allow from all

</LIMIT>

You can get the IP addresses for most of the Spammer Bad Boy Countries HERE

I was logging about 25-30 spam attempts per day on my forum, but after adding a simple captcha everything is much better now.
Additionally, most spam bots has the same pattern of crawling problems so I detect those and ban ips automatically.

I can't restrict anonymous posts due to the nature of my website (I have support forum).
