Please dont block IP addresses. It is completely useless and hurts genuine users. The spammers dont use static I.P's. They use dynamic I.P's. When some non spammer uses that I.P then they too will be blocked.
There have been times when I have gone to some sites only to be blocked because my I.P has previously been used by some spammer. It's my loss and the sites loss as well.
