SPAM - Block IP Address Range

Post by DaveOzric »

I am having a problem with spam on both sites I have your guestbook installed. Every IP address logged from the spammer is different. So the block an ip address is useless. Can a whole range be blocked instead. They are mostly the same first 3 numbers. Re-capthca for 1.5 might help too.

Please let me know if this can be done. If I block ip's from China etc. it won't matter, my sites are both local.

Thank you

Hi, mostly there is not anything like a china ip address range ... I was testing this in this forum (ip range ban) and it ended with such sutiotion, nobody was able to login, because spammers are using different IPs :-(

Anyway added into feature request list.
