Editor Question (Score: 1) by evilviper@pipedot.org on 2015-01-04 22:08 (#2WNK) What's your recommendation to editors on using, or not, the "Ban IP" option for spam posts?

Otherwise, it'll just keep posting. That poor poll article I linked above had over 1000 spam messages all from the same french bot network.Of course, the IP ban just prevents anonymous posts from that address. Registered users can still post through it.
