 * There is a gentleman making a lot of crude comments on our site and we need to
   block him. We tried putting him on the blacklist but that didn’t work. Is there
   anything else we can try?
 * Thanks

 * I suggest blocking his IP from the website completely.
 * You can find out how to do that [here.](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+ban+an+ip+from+a+website&btnG=Google+Search)

 * Thank you both for replying.
 * Chelsea, I looked at the link and there were a couple of solutions that looked
   good. However, they talked a lot about adding PHP script to my site and I’m lost
   on how to do that.

 * Well, there’s a way of doing it with a .htaccess file …
 * And adding a PHP script is easy. Just follow the instructions!
