I didn't read through but read a few more posts.. I am assuming that Asia IPs such as china's are blocked.. I might use a VPN to continue connecting with people after I leave the country. I love here..
when i was thailand some ips were blocked not all of them were. When i would connect to wifi sometimes it would work , but if i was using an data connection would be blocked.
The IP restrictions for APNIC and AFRINIC have been removed; we'll revisit it on a country by country basis in the future if required.

I was in South Korea in mid-May, and I couldn't access this site at all. That was only a week after the ban date.
I'm sure the forums will resolve the issue for you. Don't go!
On a related note, I also was not able to access the forums from multiple Asian countries on my trip earlier this year. I made that an excuse to unplug from MyFICO for several days 
I was in France in September on vacation, and logged on/posted several times. Used laptop and phone.
No issues from Paris...
Issues are gone anyway, the bans were blown away at the time of my last posting in this thread.

It's also somewhat inefficient, as it's pretty easy to get a VPN, but I guess it stops casual spamming if concentrated in various regions.
+1 to easy use of a VPN
This was the only way to create this post for me with a fake IP and of course I selected a US IP to make sure it would allow access. The interesting part is that account login for score watch worked in numerous countries in the past two years and you get even alerts in Africa. So login for paid subscription works worldwide with the same credentials as the forum but the forum is restricted. Looking forward to test my home ISP next month and hope Switzerland has made it on the whitelist again as well. Happy to announce that this post has been written with true IP and location. I hate to trick around.

Glad to hear everything got worked out in the end for ya. We'd hate to lose someone like you with great wisdom around these forums.
