Adds a captcha only for visitors from some countries.

== Description ==

Most spam most comes from certain countries. An effectiv method to avoid spam is to add a 
captcha to your commentbox, but it annoies your human users. But I think most of the users
come from the bloggers country, so why don't annoy only a few users from other countries?

Geo Captcha uses the GEO-IP-library GeoLite Country by MaxMind (http://www.maxmind.com/) to get to know from which 
country the commentator comes from. If this country is not registered in the whitelist 
(can be edited in the admin interface) the commentator needs to enter a captcha, which is generated by SecurImage (http://www.phpcaptcha.org/).

A log and some stats in the admin interface shows how much spam you avoid and how many users you annoy with the plugin. If you only get a few
spam comments from a single country but much normal comments - add it to your whitelist.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `geo-captcha`-folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Set up the whitelist in the Geo Captcha Settings

= Usage =

You can show you users the statistic from the admin panel. You only need to add <?php geo_captcha_public_stats(); ?> to a page template.
