Have anyone made a script/extension/3rd party app to block certain countries yet?

I'd say when the name, flag, playstyle, internet connection, and profile picture matches relative well, it's pretty safe to assume they're not faking a flag.

Besides the fact that your goal is prejudicial, there's no way to "script" or add an app/extension to alter who you get paired with by the chess.com servers.  This should be obvious with a little thought.  I guess what you could do is automate a way client side to abandon games with Indian flagged players after the game is started by the server...this will quickly have consequences, of course...but then, you would deserve them.

Personally, I've noticed that almost anyone from India can start off with a bad opening, takes long to make moves, and then as soon as they start losing, their playing style changes. Yet, if we abort the game as soon as we notice the country they are from it's "Bad Sportsmanship" if you abandon the game. 
How about this: Ever played someone from there and you know you are playing well but your timer starts dropping drastically out of now where?
They are almost always from India. Call it prejudice, racism, or xenophobia, but the fact remains that 50% of my games have turned out this way. I do not hate people from that country but I would prefer not to play people from there.

There really isn’t a place on this site for racism, prejudice, etc..
