Body: <p>There's a spam account in my system that I need to delete and permanently prevent from accessing our server. I see CiviCRM has a concept of deleting a contact, but I don't see a way to &quot;block&quot; or &quot;blacklist&quot; a contact. Is there a way to do this?</p>

  I am sure the other CMS options have similar plugins/modules that will allow to keep out the spammers.
