Be careful, you may still be banning valid users. Tor exit nodes often get mistaken for bots, so services like CloudFlare include a CAPTCHA to verify a real person accessing the website.

You could implement something similar for your own website. If a visit comes from a questionable IP then include a CAPTCHA (or similar test) to ensure the visitor is a real person and not a bot.

If your primary concern is blocking spam comments (and not blocking the original content itself) you could just include a check against the IP before displaying the comment form. This was anybody can view your content, but visitors from the questionable IP list wouldn't even have the option to post.
