I'm curious, Monika.
Did this one manage to post links?
That shouldn't be able to happen until they've been a member for two days and have 2 real posts. Did they have any other posts as well as the spam post(s)?
I might have to up the ante if they're still able to do that with the way it's set now.

125.135.198.160 Greettop - he didn't get a chance to spam as I caught him as he signed up.
The IP comes from N Korea but he still left the board language as Albanian - it's fun catching the swines the minute they sign-up!

77.41.104.29 - Russian!
Again, I caught this Russian based IP online while I was clearing out the spammers' URL's in their profiles - he must have seen me online but still blatantly set up an account and added his URL to his profile.
How stupid are these morons?

58.147.73.20 - winteamwork. Thailand.
Not tried to spam the forum yet, probably because the software is stopping him posting links.
I'm watching this one...

You can do that through the control panel of a phpBB forum, or in a WP blog there is a section in the general tab that lets you add IP addresses you don't want to allow.
You didn't say in which context you wanted to bar an IP?
