Hey...!
I am facing spam problem,
all users that got register and start spamming have a particular email address like
[email protected].nl
[email protected].nl
[email protected].nl
This .nl is common in all spammers email.
I want to disable new registrations for those who uses
.nl in their registration email.
Any idea to do this...??
Or is there any way to Block the Whole Country to access Site...???
Spammers are all from Ukraine
@Erigo19
Thanks for Feedback...
Let me check this one *@*.*.nl
@Erigo19
Email Banning worked out.
Thanks..
Is there any method to BAN the whole country to access site...?
O.O woah why would you wanna do that.
Basically my all spammers are only from Ukraine,
that's why i'm thinking to not to access site for ukraine users.
Any method to Block whole country..?

*@*.*.nl
But won't that stop genuine people with a Netherlands IP joining?
@Zohe not all spammers are from the Ukraine! have you tried this:
http://mods.mybb.com/view/stopforumspam-com-for-mybb
some like it some don't, but it has stopped hundreds of spammers for me.
If you still want to block a country try countryipblocks.net though you will always be looking for the new IPs
@sarisisop
Basically i have checked the stats of my site,
the country in which i have created my site has 16,000 hits for more than 2 months, while Ukraine has 19,000 hits in only not more than a week.
This tells that my all spammers are from Ukraine,
While i'm thinking to use it
http://mods.mybb.com/view/stopforumspam-com-for-mybb
can you tell me how it works...?
Means what's the criteria of ip adresses, email adreses and usernames it will block...??
Just use a security question along with spamalyser. There's no need to restrict access to an entire country.

It will disallow member registration and give the following message: "Your details match those of a known spammer, therefore you have been disallowed registration." to anyone who's details are registered with stopforumspam.com
Check Username: set to no as it will block to many genuine people
Check Email: set to yes.
Check IP: set to yes.
If you register with the stopforumspam.com forum you can get an API key which allows you to register a spammer. So if I have registered
[email protected] on SFS as a spammer and he tries to join your forum he will get blocked if you have check Email set. Same thing with IPs.
I've banned many countries as well, however my site is very big so make sure you don't have many genuine visitors from Ukraine as well.
Anyways, if you want to block them, you need to use .htaccess to block them.
Go to:
https://www.countryipblocks.net/country_selection.php
And select country as Ukraine and then select the format as htaccess DENY and then click on button "Create ACL" and it will give you list of all Ukraine IPs (mostly) in deny format. Just paste them in your .htaccess and save it. So after that if any visitor from Ukraine visitors your site, they'll get a 403 error.
