So I have the decimated threads/posts sent to a spam container thread, then I have to go in and get the ip from each user.

You don't always/automatically want to ban a spammer's IP. They may be using an AOL IP address, for example, which is dynamically assigned and used by several people.
Generally if there are 2 or 3 spammers who have exclusively used an IP address, then we ban it.
Edit: Is there any chance you could delete a spammer's blog entries as well? The other day someone registered and spammed the blog. No other posts. Had to manually kill him off.
