I occasionally get some trolls leaving comments. Without banning the IP at the .htaccess level is there anything else I can do to prevent them from commenting?

Enable the spam protector plugin, or just enable moderation

Hello,
I have managed to identify these IPs as the most active visitors
of my blog, and I don´t think I am so popular. How could I stop
them of doing referal spamming on my blog?
210.22.117.100
66.165.172.163
121.1.6.130
220.226.63.254
12.45.169.249
218.56.144.42
221.2.243.114
61.189.240.196
219.153.5.251

As Tom already mentioned: There is an event plugin (actually, serveral of them) available (see
http://spartacus.s9y.org) called Spamblock which offer(s) various methods to control trackback and comment spam.
Personally, I've had the best results using the askimet service.

Hi!
You can also easily deny access from certain IPs by editing your .htaccess file and adding
etc.
That's the most easy way to block those IPs, because then the full s9y framework does not need to be loaded.
