  I’m getting spammed repeatedly by someone who calls himself “hotshot bald cop.” When I hover the mouse over his links he appears to come from a variety of sources, including Fandango, Memory Alpha, and Netflix.

  Askimet is doing a fine job of filtering him out, but I just wondered if there’s a setting to have him automatically flushed down the toilet, so to speak.

  Hi there,

  If you’re interested, you can block an IP Address via your Dashboard > Settings > Discussion page so that this user’s comments are automatically sent to your spam queue:

  I hope this helps!
