BLOCKED! (###.###.###.###)
... where the pound sign is your IP address, you probably can't read this page, so what's the point?
Well, maybe you usually can access the page, but you're away on vacation.

Australia
Belgium
Bolivia
Brunei
Canada
Chile
Congo
Costa Rica
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hong Kong
Ireland

Sometimes the country predictor makes mistakes, but generally, it's pretty accurate. Anyway, if this happens to you, just write to the admin - there will be a link in addition to the message above - and I'll white-list your IP, maybe just temporarily.
Since I implemented this, there are far fewer spammers on the board.
