Restrict Guest Posting to Certain IP Ranges

Hi Guys,

I run a very popular unofficial ISP Support Forum. Because it's such, we get posts from time to time that are from customers who do not wish to register for the forums, they just want to post as a guest, so we allow guest posting.

However, recentley this has been abused and we've had people using the guest system to their advantage to conduct troll like activities and suchlike, but we don't really want to disable guest posting, as a lot of people find it useful, and may not use the site so much if we took it away.

So I was wondering if there was a hack, or someone could make a hack, that would enable us to allow guest posting, but only for users on the IP Ranges of the ISP in question. I have the IP Ranges here with me, but I need the code writing to ensure vBulletin does this.

Can anyone help?

Kind Regards,

Justin Johnson
