67.19.70.50 74.55.158.66 66.96.251.157 70.38.71.182 This guy spends his days posting spam for viagra and other crap in internet forums. Then he posts the URL to the posts in directories. They do not get approved, but his bots get past most Captcha's and end up cluttering things up and causing mail bounces since he uses fake email addresses in his listings. The IP's listed above are all owned by the same guy. He's a real dirtbag.
I got lots of spam submission from 74.55.158.66 and 66.96.251.157 .They use blog comments, website guest books, forums posts, to spam their sites, often it would be cheap softwares, viagra, and something like that.. there are automated softwares available that posts in blogs comment and other similar public communication areas. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="74.55.158.66"
That's exactly it. The guy is doing this on a whole hoard of places. All for viagra, cialias, etc. Posting his spam all over anywhere that will let him, then using directories to link to those pages. The common thread is his IP addresses. Oh, btw, here is his email address and phone number: +1.7037893450 Konstantin Leonov

I have learned that it doesn't matter how many ip's you ban, they get through regardless. So I simply do not even bother because it just gets frustrating adding the numbers...
That just proves that directories and blogs need better spam protection than what's already available. Can we have an 'akismet' for directories?
Normally true, because 99.9% of the time these are bots. In this guys case he is spamming directly from 4 separate IP's he has in use via 4 separate hosting accounts. Its consistent, and never changes, at least not since August of 2008 as far as I can tell. In this case, these are worth banning.
