Apparently I am not the only one who got spammed last night by the ‘Lolita’ Spammer. When I woke up this morning, I had to manually delete about 30 spams and block the IP. Really annoying.
*** Update ***
I got hit again, this time by “Preteen,” as did others. Same first parts of the ip address as last night, just the last two digits varied. Is there anyway to ban that whole string?

have spent the morning eliminating PreTeen and banned additional addresses… it sucks…

Change your .htaccess file like this:
“You could also use an IP or range of IPs:
deny from 24.64.
This would deny anyone whose IP started with 24.64.”
