    I'm F***'ng tired of this IP : 72.20.4.30

    Some one by Name PetePan keep sending me spam comments on my WP Blog articles saying good site and tries to link back to his shitty porn sites.

    I'm tired of blocking comments and moderating them. Is their a way that i can BLOCK his IP so that he no longer gets to post any SPAM on my Blogs.

    Appreciate all your help.

    Put a restriction in your htaccess file.

    order allow,deny
    deny from 72.20.4.30
    allow from all

    A further search on Google would prove beneficial.

    Why don't you use Askimet??? When he leaves a comment again just mark it as spam and your troubles are over.

    are you sure they are spam comments and not trackbacks?

    Install Spam Karma 2. It kills 99% of spam and I get several hundreds on my blog, because I have CommentsLuv and DoFollow. Spammers target blog like mines .... just to learn that its a waste of their time :D

    Install some spam prevention plugin. Like one mentioned, spam karma 2 is good.
