This mod will put any new registration into moderation so you can either approve or deny based on the physical location of the IP address. If the IP is located in a country that you white list, the registration will go through as normal.

This may be different for everyone else, but on my forums, I have yet to have a Russian IP sign up for anything other than posting SPAM. This plugin has moderated them all!

I hope to have time to eventually expand this to do other things. This also works on 3.8.x.

You MUST download the zone files from this site:

http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/

The free license does not allow me to include them with the product, plus it is better to download the latest files anyway.

No real screenshots to show here, sorry.

Changelog:

12/20/2008
  • Coded the routine in, instead of using external whois program.
  • Now compatible with Windows
  • (39 download of 1.0)
2/11/2009
  • 77 downloads at this point
  • Rewrote application to use zone files rather than relying on Arin
12/27/2009
  • Verified it works for 4.0
To upgrade, READ THE README, and re-install product (select overwrite).

Don't forget to:

So do you have to moderate each new member or if they are on the white list it does it automatically?

Got it up on 4.1.10 and I think it's working. No real way to test it though.
Nominated!

Is this mod going to be upgraded to work on 4.1.**? I hope so .....

The daily grind

Every day I have to delete delete delete and all from the same regions!
I ban IP's but still have trouble!
Even gone to the extent of moderating ALL new users .... frustrating for me and genuine users!

Sound familiar?

This mod is excellent. I have it running on 4.1.7 fine. I used to upgrade my vb4 everytime a new version was released but no more. Wait some time in between the versions.

I also ask questions only my industry will know at registration time. This filters 99% of all BS users and spam. It keeps your forum clean and level of content high. The bots figure my questions out eventually (about a week) and then I change my question/answer.

This used to be a fantastic little plugin stopping ALL spam by restricting certain country IP's, however, just re-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?

It's probably that the data file containing the geographic data for all the ip addresses has gotten bigger and now you don't have enough memory in php to open it.

What is the PHP Memory Limit as reported on the main page of your Admin CP?

If it's low you should try upping it to at least 64 MB or more.
