Adding – showing the member their flag at signup and that their country was known reduced the number of troublemakers massively 🙂

I had a thought, randomising the cover image if the user has multiple member types could also work well if a primary member type is difficult to implement 🙂

Great. I’m not in a hurry yet, as usual 🙂

The service I showed you is free up to 200 queries per month, so it could still be an option. I was thinking this would be enough for me but then I realised I get between 150 and 250 new members per month and there are probably quite a few abandoned signups too. I didn’t read enough to know whether every signup sends a query to the API, I expect it does.

I’ll try to find out if there are some free APIs too.

I looked at the Ban Hammer wordpress plugin but seems I have to maintain my own block list and it would be good to have something more automated I reckon.
