Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin · **Released**: 12-26-2009

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

Rewrote application to use zone files rather than relying on Arin

12/27/2009

Thanks for this mod.

The user that registers get any warning about it? I mean, he knows that his registration is pending?

Jafo232 · #16 01-26-2010, 02:22 PM

They know when they login..

AntonLargiader · #17 02-14-2010, 12:49 PM

Installing it today.

Know of any good way to scan the existing registration IPs with this database? I have a lot of suspect zero-post users that I'd like to weed out.

I currently allow only several countries for registration. If I create database with all countries with all countries but these countries will this slow down site similar to large htaccess restrictions?

Thanks seems like greate idea!!!!

This only functions during registration; not during normal forum use (like htaccess would). So I can't imagine any performance penalty.

I'm using it and it works exactly like it should. If the IP address is not from a specifically allowed country, the user ends up in the "Awaiting COPPA moderation" group and cannot post. They are still visible, so profile spam is still there, but that doesn't bother me as much as posted spam.

Jafo232 · #21 02-22-2010, 02:34 PM

You can modify the coppa group to not allow them to modify their profiles, etc., and that will eliminate the other spam too..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
