You want to do a blanket ban on European IP addresses?? Given that we are a UniSA club we still need to leave access available in case we get a students member from europe who goes home for the holidays. The range is far too broad and it'd probably be easier to just go to admin activation with the signup telling people to actually put data into the profile fields so we can tell bot from human. Most of the bots probably come from botnets so it's only a matter of time before Australian IP addresses start appearing.
Oh and the IP range is 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 .... not that it matters it just irks me when I see soemthing I can correct another on.
