A spam bot loves me, what can I do?

You actually want to keep these comments marked as spam–not trashed. Akismet checks against your spam list while deciding what to do with a new comment. So having a large database of spam comments actually helps Akismet work.

I get what your issue is, but what you’re essentially asking for is a spam filter for your spam filter.

If you’re having trouble with a particular user, you might consider disabling their account somehow. This is pretty easily done by changing their username and password in the DB to something unguessable. This ensures that they can’t sign in, and can’t create another account using the same email address.
