About 30 splogs awaited me upon my arrival home yesterday. As no one has posted here in a while is there something I can do you all have figured out?

I am re-launching my Buddypress site again after about a year. I could not keep up with the splogs. I thought that maybe after a year the problem would be addressed – I guess I was wrong.
