With the four-hour block in place, I think it doesn't make much of a difference. I thought the IP block might have some effect, but we've blocked so many IPs and they still keep coming, so I don't know that the IP block is so useful against bots.
Statistics of banned spambots could be useful, but if you feel tired of blocking, it's not worth it. The recentchanges page may look like a sea of red, but as long as they don't make edits, they're not doing any harm.
