I have been getting a lot of SPAM comments lately. I have moderation and captcha turned on so they don't get seen by the public and the captcha has slowed it but I would like to be able to block them. I know it won't fix the problem but it would help. Is there anyway to save the IP when someone leaves a comment so that I could block it.
Blake,
This is something that I believe Scott is working on. Exposing the IP as a token. But then you have to either use IIS to block the IP or another module or other. I currently use PageBlaster to block IP's.

For those of you having problems with Spam, I ran across an article by Mitchel Sellers that deals with "Request Filters" in the DNN settings. This could be a good solution to those who do not have PageBlaster.
