As for blocking IP's automatically. This is another good method which
I also use.

You hide a small "invisible" image with a link which people won't see
but bots do. Descent bots won't follow that link since you told them
in robot.txt not to do so. Spammer bots will. Then they are trapped.
Their IP is automatically added to .htaccess

We have two issues here, Blocking said IPs in a reliable simple
method. * Thought would be something like torblock that just
downloads the list on a daily/weekly/whatever schedule * can provide
the blocked users information on why they are blocked and appeal
process for valid users (ipblockexempt) Two: A method for reporting,
confirming and listing said sources. * The easiest method that I
know of would be a category based system with a bot/script that
compiles a complete listing of said pages in the category on a
regular basis. * Using a category system enables a more fulidic
process, reduces edit conflicts and provides several other options.
