  Blocking by IP is only partially successful because they may surf with different IPs at different times.

  Crucible, do you have your comments set so that you have to approve comments?

  If it is an ACTUAL spammer, and not just somebody with no friends to talk to, just mark the comments as Spam when they come in and soon Akismet will learn and send all that person’s comments to spam. Do not do this if they’re just an annoying bore, though.
