Blocking countries?

Postby Derek » Fri Nov 11, 2011 2:17 pm

Does this boards software have the capability to block certain IP's or ranges?

I can get your the valid ranges of IPs from different countries, as they are assigned and published. That might stop a lot of this nonsense.

But of course, leaving the Philippines open for Silverfox. 8)
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I don't think so. I will check.

That would be nice. I don't know why that mess bothers me so much! I'm glad to see it bothers somebody else a good bit too! Commiseration is a dish best served any way you can get it. :D

It used to bother me, but they are really easy to delete. The best thing to do is not even look at them before we delete them. Then the d-bags don't get what the want.
