There is a reason that IP ranges are blocked - we don't do it unless the range has actually been used by multiple spammers attempting to gain access to AFF. Currently there are about 13,000 IP addresses or ranges blocked - a few are all the way down to the fourth octal (i.e xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) while about 1/3rd are still at the second (xxx.xxx.*) and a further 1/3rd at the third octal (xxx.xxx.xxx.*).
When requests are received we can usually move from 2nd to 3rd octal to fix the issue.

That's all well and good but when I had the issue in Korea I asked a friend to email AFF via the 'contact us' with my details and the issue and got no reply.
Perhaps you can include a 'contact webmaster' on the block page if at all possible?
