  I’ve got a couple nutbars surfing my site. Is it possible to ban their IPs? If it is, can you please tell me how?

  Options -> Discussion
  Comment Blacklist

  When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URL, e-mail, or IP, it will be marked as spam. One word or IP per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.

  However, blacklisting IPs is not recommended as it’s not usually effective. These types simply get another IP and start all over again.

  Yeah, it still jumps into your spam folder. IP’s don’t get banned here, no matter what they do.
