I'm selective. I just bother with the ones that bother me. You should note the three "41" series IP's from the African Network Information Center. That was an early troll that shows how they keep coming back until that series is banned entirely.
I started out trying to individually ban these trolls, and you can see how my IP bans have become more and more inclusive.
Again, I woke up on October 1st this year and found 48 new signups at my site, and that is what started all of this. It's slowed down because of these group IP bans.
I had a troll make it all the way through ReCapcha just this morning, and the last two IP's on this list were added less than an hour ago. That one is from Asia, and they were just Admin Approval away from posting God knows what on my blog. What's interesting is that I've had bots from both of those IP series pounding on the door for several days, until early this morning when some person intervened and successfully got through.
Even if banned, they do not stop trying to get in, and are still generating enough visits to the site and hits as to render my stats completely meaningless. None of these IPs have ever contributed anything to my site except spam, so that's why they make the list, and banning a whole range is extremely effective.
Note: There are individual IP's that are listed here, many of them appeared to be hacked computers and those individual IPs had to be banned as well.

i have all new users set to moderation and not one spammer has been able to post on my site(s) I am using image verification for registration, but, even if they use a legit e-mail address i still have to authorsie them. My point is, aren't more folks adopting this method?? Ok you may reduce you're memer base, but at least it stops the bots in their tracks
