  Unwanted comments are not “spam”. Do not mark his comments as spam and confuse Akismet unless he is posting stuff like selling drugs and/or porno, etc.

  Moderate your comments and delete all of his. Eventually he will give up submitting them.

  You can blacklist his IP but I doubt that it will do any good at all because he will just get another one. -> Options-> Discussion
  scroll down to the blacklist box and enter the information and then click “Save Options”

  you can go to Dashboard > Comments, and copy his IP address. go to Dashboard > Options > Discussion. at the very bottom, in the “comment blacklist” field, paste his IP address.

  If one person has spammed you (you said spam) 1,400 times, then I would suggest they maybe are a spammer…..
