XF 1.5 Automated rejection of new applicants?

[Larry Barasch]

We seem to get several new applicants a week from Russia, all of whom are on the Stop Spam or Blacklist list. We manually disapprove them as they apply. Is there any way to have XF automatically decline an application from a specific country? I didn't see this under the Admin/Options/User Registration area.
And I truly have nothing against Russia. Just EVERY applicant from there has been on the "bad people" list.

There isn't anything built in that does country detection. I believe there may be an add-on that does what you need, though I'm not positive.

This add-on can do it via geoip detection which loosely works for countries.
