I assume they have. The problem with Site.Blocklist is that it's reactive, rather than preventative: one can only know what things to add to the Blocklist *after* one has been spammed. Which means that it is good for preventing *repeat* offences, but not for stopping the initial attacks. And the attacks are always changing. Hence, the tiring work involved at keeping a prominent site like pmwiki.org spam-free.
