This plugin blocks all visitors who posted a comment that was later marked as spam.

== Description ==
If you are tired of manually blocking spammers's IP addresses by yourself, you can use this plugin. It blocks all visitors who posted a comment that was later **marked as a spam**. For example if your Akismet catches a dummy bot who posted a spam comment, it will be blocked until you approve/delete it's post.

The author also recommends installing [Raven's Antispam](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ravens-antispam/). With this plugin you can more effectively get rid of spammers.

= What should I do to uninstall the plugin? =
Just deactivate the plugin. All it's data will be automatically removed from your database.

= What should I do if I accidentally marked my own comment as spam and the plugin had blocked my IP address? =
This could happen if you use a slow method of detecting spammers. To fix this problem, open your MySQL database and delete your IP address from table wp_sb_ip_log.

Wait until spammer's cookie expires or use a slow method of spammer detection.
