I think I.P bans are useless, I have been IP banned from a forum before, all I had to do is go and pull my router out and wait 2 mins and plug in back in.
What do you do if SPAMMERS attack.

Some people still have static IP addresses though. I have a dynamic IP all right, but some ISP's only offer static IP's. A lot of free proxies don't work with forums as well. I still do it as a precaution.

If you are getting raided then more likely then not they are using proxies and temp e-mails to validate the account so e-mail and ip bans are a waste of time.
The way to deal with it is to ban the accounts being used to spam you and then scroll down to the stats section and wait for any new members to join so you can ban them as they try to join. Eventually they will give up and go away and then you can go ahead and trash/delete the spam posts provided someone else hasn't already gotten to them already. If they won't quit then you can always set it to admin approval so no one can join unless you let them. That usually ends the problem right there.
