Hello!

Is there a way to blacklist an entire country from registering on my forums? I know it seems harsh, but there are only spambots and people with malintent that sign up from that country, and my memberbase has no affiliation with it either, so... yeah. I'm pretty sure you know what country I'm talking about.

Anyway, how would I do this? I haven't found any working solution for me online.

Thanks!

Use fassim anti spam plugin :

http://mods.mybb.com/view/fassim-anitspam

firstly open fassim.php and find the line :

"compatibilty" => "16*",

and replace with it :

"compatibilty" => "18*",

It's easy and free to get cloudflare set up on your forum. It allows you to shut down entire countries from accessing your forum.

You could also block IP ranges.

Their website won't allow me to get an API key? It says: "Currently not accepting any more key requests.  Please check back later..".
Do you know if this is a temporary thing or if they're no longer giving out API keys?

Yeah, I tried doing so in .htaccess but to no avail.
