Title: Technical Question: How do I IP ban Russia...

...or any/all of eastern Europe floating all the way over to Japan? I'm sick of these fuckers registering just to post a website.

Can you set it so new users can't post until you approve them? Check it once a day or so, approve the ones that aren't obviously gimmicks, and let the others stew (or send them a mail and try to get some info from them). If they are legit, they will likely contact you wondering why they haven't been given access yet.

Was seriously hoping I wouldn't have to switch on the 'approve new users' tab.

DNS resolve their hostnames and ban the IP range in the .htaccess?

Ah, the joys of quasi random IP range assignments. You'll never be able to ban whole Russia and Asia. Evar.

Time IPv6 goes mainstream. Ban their aggregate prefix and be done.

Hey, schild give me their ip addresses and ill block them at the firewall.

If you want, i can block all their ISPs range for this domain, but that means youll block legitimate traffic also...dont know if you get much traffic from russia?

I don't know if phpBB has the option but you might be able to enable something that doesn't allow external links or if it does they get redirected so they are not direct links. Another option it might have is to only allow links from a whitelist but then you would need to approve new links for the whitelist.

Again, I don't know if phpBB does it but a lot of the wiki software is implimenting that kind of thing for the exact same reason.

When the next iteration of phpBB comes out, I'll be able to do it easily. I may just wait for that. Banning an ip and deleting one account each week isn't that hard.

How do you know they are coming from Russia and other places when all the IPs are all over the place?
