XF 1.1 A Global IP database of millions of bots?

[Jungalist81]

I am wondering if there is a database BLACKLIST of known bots that I can use on my xenforo? The idea came to mind from a video game blacklist service MCBans.com How it works: It acts like a security gate blocking unwanted ips from entering a video game server. Is there a similar security system for xenforo. If not, can one theoretically create something like this? I am just tired of all these spams I am receiving on my site. Everyday its getting more and more intense.

There are third party services (that have XF add-ons) that do this.

All known spam countermeasures are described here:

There is a country blocker addon in there, and a couple of spam databases.
