like that. It doesnt' stop all of them, but it cuts it down a great deal. I noticed their IP ranges when they were full force, and while the last set, and sometimes second to last set, would change. The front would stay the same.

Eventually blocked them all. Then they must have went and got some more proxy's, so I started banning them as well. Before I did that, we were getting about 100+ a day.
