I did block a couple of IPs this morning because they keep coming up and Paul has added more words to our spam filter to moderate those posts. Luckily, Paul has written us a script that makes cleaning spam up very easy with just a click of a button. So, when a mod gets online and sees it, we do clean it up pretty quickly.
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.
