MSE should block all known US IP addresses which would stop most of them

i'd expect we're all non us, as it's a uk site.
known US addresses might help but could be considered rasicst or similar.....

Do you mean non UK? .

Sorry meant " all known US IP addresses"

no point blocking usa,the spammers can use proxy server :money: mods need to move faster to remove

UK spammers would be fine too if only US ranges were blocked...

I wish there was a Spam button same as the thanks button

From what I hear mse has already block certain anonymous proxies

Please do not block US IP ranges, I'm a valid user who is sometimes on US IP ranges. I don't think blocking the US IP range is a good idea, what if people are on holiday and need to get their HUKD fix? What if US people are checking out MSE for travel deals into/around UK?

Bad idea.

I would suggest that all posts by new members are moderated for a period of 30 days or until they prove that they are genuine (e.g. after about 10 valid posts)

Its only a suggestion and IF if was implemented how many people would that effect a very very small percentage, God if I went all he way to US I certainly wouldn't be browsing forums, I would be enjoying me hols
