I'm not sure whether this is the right forum but here we go - i've noticed some traffic coming from Nigeria is spamming one of my sites. I log IP addresses for visitors to my site to trace all activity - hence i know the country of origin is Nigeria. I've implemented some security measures to prevent spambots but i would like to know if any of you have ever banned a whole country from your site(s)? Also can somebody tell me how to get the IP range for a specify country? Thanks.
I think these are human spammer, not bots, some worldwide forum spammers came out with some policy through which they are spamming business related forums. In my opinion you should ban the whole IP range or the whole country who is spamming your forums. First before try to find out whether the IP has a web server or not, if that is a web server then he is might be using a proxy. Or you can detect some security issues which can measure when someone is using proxy. Good luck
