Do we even know he is using just one IP?
If you are on a "normal" ADSL, then resetting the router will drop the line and reconnect with a different IP - most personal ADSL connections don't use a static IP address.
If he is in a cyber cafe or a company, then her is sharing the same IP with potentially hundreds of other people, and banning the IP would ban them as well.

As far as I was able to see my router receives the same ip from the provider when I reset my router. Other than that what harm would be done if you blocked the IP of a spammer for like 24 hours?

Maybe they are, if they didn't get the attention they want from this site, they will soon get bored.
they're just attention-seeker whoever-not-be-named they are! 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

A few years ago I was on a campaign telling everyone to ignore the trolls and they will go away. It didn't work because some people can't resist telling them how angry they are about their postings.
This is just the validation they are looking for so I stopped preaching. I just watch as they keep validating the trolls and complaining that there are trolls here. 
Don't feed the trolls.

By that logic, he should never have come here in the first-place

Gosh, Dave, I wasn't aware your charisma had a dimmer control !

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.

Doesn't help much:
http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html[^]
http://www.mailinator.com[^]
etc...
Plus, I have my own domain - which gives me unlimited email addresses.

Then we can still block these 10 minute mail thingies in addition, as a whole domain.

FTFY. They're different. Completely different. One is science of the universe, the other is signs of lunacy.

Presumably the spammer(s) are looking at all kinds of bad karma in their next lifetime. Still, I want them to suffer now

There's a god awful number of ways to get around such things and people get really annoyed when you block what they use to get around their job's IT security.
