    All you need is to block the spammers from posting, they still have to register and provide an email address to be able to post on MSE.

    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.


    oh god no please dont block u ip ranges, i go to the states to visit my dad every year and while im there i check here every day, id be lost if i couldnt do that lol..while i was there at xmas nd new year i checked mse every day to do my piggy comps etc and check threads and freebies...

    You could still check the forums If they did that, only not post and see certain forums.
