You're both missing the point. I also use a country IP blocker on 2 forums as well as a custom IP locator on those plus 2 others. My point was that new IP ranges are added almost daily to highly populated countries like China and India and it requires monthly or weekly updates of IP ranges just to keep up - even that might not work on a busy established forum which is targeted by spammers.
Battling spam is not a "set it and forget it" issue. It requires continuing vigilance and varying the tools over time as spammers adapt their own weapons to current defenses.
