If you already have access to his IP address, you have at least one piece of information you could report if a click attack did occur.
reason why he's insisting with repeatedly posting basically a bunch of spam links.
Or it could be a spam bot not only targeting you but targeting any hole it can find in the wild. Lookup the links being posted and you might find them listed elsewhere on other poorly managed web sites.
Never thought of banning the IPs for entire site
I have many class C's banned, a couple Class B IPs banned, I even have a whole county banned from seeing my web site, helps me seep a little better.
Revenge is not generally part of spammer culture.
Maybe web spammers are dispassionate, but email spammers are known for taking revenge on anyone disrupting their business when reporting them to their hosts with the famous joe-jobs and cartooneys (threats of legal suits). Lets not underestimate the lack of morals of these sociopaths.
But yeah, I think if one were to block web spammers by IP addresses (I do have a spambot trap), they just move on to better targets. I'd say the best method, though, is to use tools that won't let automated submissions of links to begin with, such as, for example, "captchas", or active moderation.

Try building some sort of relatively realistic looking error page for your site - what PHP/ASP/whatever would typically throw out if there was a problem writing to the DB or your code was seriously broken or something. Save that as a specific error page, then if you see a post come from his IP - discard the post, and redirect him to that page.
He'll just think you've got one seriously broke-___ site that barfed on his submit. Might even be bold enough to contact you about the error ... that would be amusing. In any case, hopefully he'll just think your site is broken and no-one is paying attention to fix it, and he'll move on.
Recently i am noticing SO many spammers attacking on my site and creating fake profiles. I keep banning them, it is almost useless for them to make any profile/article on my site because their account gets activated only when i allow them. And i block them on the first palce because now I know much much more about their cut and paste technology. But they wont dissappoint, they keep making profiles and i keep blocking them. it has become almost a Game.
My question is, what if one day any spammer gets angry and starts clicking ads, wil google consider it as spam and block my adsense? I already written about this issue to google and waiting for their reply.
No matter how many ips you ban, they will come with brand new ip and almost 90% of their ip will resolve as "United States" .. but i know that they are from African countries.
You can imagine the problem that, on an avarage i block almost 300 to 400 profiles/articles daily.
Can anyone tell me any good alternative to get rid of those ill African minds?

This question has been asked so many times in this forum it is pathetic. It really should be stickied somewhere so people stop.
If you see anything irregular, contact google, and then move along.
To avoid that Googlebot visits the spamer version, show on his version only Amazon ads.
if you're really, really worried you could always prevent the google ads from appearing for his IP address
I replace in this case usual with Amazon ads.
Chikita would be also a good alternative.
