That is a good idea, though restricting every .ru would keep anyone with that common Russian domain from signing up. While the odds of a Russian ZR-1 owner/enthusiast is unlikely, it would be ashame if they could not sign up on the forum. So I think we will temporarily restrict it to help stem the current tide of Russian spammers. Then presumably once we are off this groups radar, we can reinstate it and see if they return.

Believe it or not we do use those vBulletin tools, yet they still continue. Every time a new roadblock is put in their way, they find a way to circumvent it. So it is an ongoing battle between the developers of the platforms and the spammers who are determined to drive everyone insane.
