I know this because in our forum we have LOTS of "spam" users - https://forum.cloudron.io/users . These users will go into posts and actually make "helpful" comments. Like, "Oh I tried this solution but I found that my disk my full. Deleting data fixed my problem". It almost seems genuine but they build reputation and once they have some votes, they go back and edit all the comments to have links.

Banning entire countries helps a lot. I don't want to name certain countries, but let's assume it's one where it's common to see human corpses floating on a big river.

That doesn't help narrow it down. I live in Seattle and the first think I thought of was a popular tiktok of teens finding a corpse in the river last month.

The word you missed was "common."

Apart from the fact that banning an entire country from contributing to their code would be antithetical to the Wikimedia foundation, if you're implying the country which I think you're implying (which is also where I live, btw) you'll:

1. Ban a burgeoning tech industry which has produced over 20 unicorns,receives billions in funding from across the world and produces world-class tech talent; 2. Ban millions of other OSS developers from contributing; and 3. Just lead to SEO spammers picking out other impoverished countries to spam from, which means finally you'll end up with only people from the "west" being able to contribute in any way.
