Hello guys, can you disable it?
The problem is that some users have dynamic ip adresses, and some of them are blacklisted. It suck when you want to post a reply but stupid message about spam appears.

Sorry but we will not, if your ip is banned its because we have spam comming from your country.

Yep confirmed. All german providers that are sharing IPs with T-Online (biggest german provider) are affected too.

Can you at least make a white list for users?
It's damn inconvenient to reboot ADSL modem to get another IP and try to post a reply.
BTW you can use some CAPTCHA instead of spamhaus...

Weird thing is that this wasn't always an issue. A few months ago I was posting just fine.
Can't you just do a simple captcha for posts such as:
"What is (7x3)x2?" and have it throw out random simple math problems like that?
That'll weed out any kids along with the spambots.

It looks that for some reason a whole range of German IPs has been blacklisted by Spamhaus, please try to use their IP removal tool.
Spamhaus prevent us from GoldBots companies spamming the forums with their advertisements, even they do manual registration to their bots
