It's only rejecting spammers with gmail address. We have plenty of real members with gmail addresses.

A recent tactic of US spammers seems to be to get a fresh Nigerian Human to sign up. We see the IP is Nigerian and do nothing. About 5min to 15min later the 1st post comes, a large advert for phones etc from a US IP, often with new email addresses to send the order to.

If it's a cable or Fibre IP, then the user IP doesn't change much. So then we add those posting Emails and original email to VB's own blocked emails list (in case in future Stopforumspam is down) and then add all the IPs and Emails and user names to stopforumspam.

I'd like to see this mod add blocked or banned IPs & email, (i.e. no matter if registration was successfull or not) to VB's blocked list.

I already made one tiny change on the addon reporting script so the Report to Stopforumspam box and button doesn't appear unless the user is Banned user group (Change NOT admintrators group to EQUAL Banned Group). That submit button needs to simply update the Blocked IPs and Banned Emails settings visible in VBoptions userBanning, two SQL statements)
