You really dont want to block entire regions of IP's from accessing your site as thats not the solution (well it is, but not a good one) Instead try different forms of human verification methods, generally the recaptcha and the question and answer forms work really with random questions.

But yes, you'll need to find the chineese IP range, and then use wildcards to block the entire country off in the IP ban manager

Im not real sure where to find the chinese IP address set at, but if you google it you're more than likely find it.

Then add the set to the IP ban manager, the best way would probably be with wild cards

yeah - to be honest all these spammers are chinese from china.

I was GOING to post about this issue right now, but i saw this.

is there effective ways on dealing with spam? I changed all verifications and etc. I even put confirmed email addresses and they still spam (once and a while).

I htink they are manual spam? Oh god, i dont want to see chinese sweat shops of spammage.

No offense.

I'm chinese myself, but american. AND I DONT LIKE THEM ON MY SITE. lol....

Its a pain in the backside when it happens, if you don't really have chinese members (From China) on your board then ban the entire country you can do it from your forums AdminCP or even from your hosting CP.

I've deleted all china and russia from my site from my Cpanel also.

You can get all China IP addresses here http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/data/countries/cn.zone

I don't think i'd be popular if i copied them all to this post

Good Luck, with the united fight against the spammers
