We are also comtemplating blocking the whole country. One thing that we have going for us is that all moderators have the power to ban users. We have 30something moderators (it's a huge, busy board)and at any given time, there are mods online and able to delete and ban the spammer in minutes. Usually, they don't even have time to post a second time! :) I recommend you give the ban stick to at least one of your moderators, to help you keep spam in check. The faster you get rid of it, the more it discourages them. By the way, who ARE the moderators here? Is it a secret? I don't see any indication on the main page, or under any usernames. Maybe there aren't any, and it's just you flying solo? :-?
