Yes.
Matt never gave the moderators of the board the ability to bozo/ban/delete people, and as a keymaster graces us with their presence once every bush administration, we just have to put up with this crap.
In theory, Akismet should learn tht every post from person X is being marked as spam, but apparently its not learning.
Akismet is very, very broken.
Even worse than the marking-as-spam not working is all the false positives which confuses the heck out of newbies or makes them upset because they think they are being singled out for something.
Right now for some reason I can’t even mark that reflex spam as spam – it doesn’t do anything.
