What you should do windy one is report this person to their isp for spamming.
You have access to his/her IP, can copy and past samples of the spam, have the ability to copy and paste log of total posts made and simply report them - usually to abuse@whatevertheirisp is.
Request an immediate stop be placed on this person or you will be forced to ban that particular isp in totallity from accessing the forum.
That is usually enough to make up their mind.
Once upon a time the largest ISP in Australia had their whole network banned from access. Surprising how fast they complied and cancelled one particular spammers account, meant cancelling his fathers broadband business account, but that was far more preferable to them getting complaints from thousands of users that they could not access to the forums.
Deal with spammers the way they should be, ISP's will readily cancel any users account when the options are put to them.
I remember one particular spammer when Swenske was a mod, simple minded twit actually worked for the isp he was using to spam the board.
5 minutes after he was reported he was dismissed from his employment.
