Recently, i added an easy bot stopper which stopped nearly all bots for a while. Now I'm getting some that are getting around the mod and these are particularly nasty ones since they are not just leaving one post, but dozens of pron posts in the different topics. So far though, they have all been from 8* IP adresses. I used to block any 8* adresses from the entire site via htaccess, but as the site became larger I decided that was a bit extreme. Now they just can't sign up in the forums.
Anyone have any experience with this? Anyone in the western US see any value to traffic from that range?
