Ok, I just thought of something that has to do with the "Free" Accounts, Now I have seen games that are made for specific countries and have all others banned from use Like K-Gunz, meant only for Korea users.

Now if we reverse engineer this and make it to where like somebody from the US signs up the website detects the IP address, finds out its a USA IP Address then requests credit card info (no charge cept validation).

This would help with the free account spaz attack we have had recently, any country that is able to use paypal or Credit card thier IP prefix would state just what country (and sometimes state) they are from and change the signup accordingly.

But lets say that someone from India wants to sign up? Ok, click sign up, it detects your IP address and realizes that you are in India and unable to use either paypal or credit card and gives you the free signup sheet.

Yes, I know this CAN be circmvented by using a IP spoofer or a proxy but at least for the idiot griefers that show up all the time they dont' have the intelligence to actually do something like this and it would at least slow down the influx of griefers and non-validated accounts that are more "local".
