The mainly way I took care of this would making it so that if javascript wasn't enabled it would redirect to the main page of the site. This isn't a full proof method but it works great. Of course you know you could just ban the ip. I had this same thing happen to 1 of my site.

Apart from that, Splogs have always been big problem for each and every legit blogger. The best way of removing them is to contact them once and if they still don't listen then cut down their source of income, by contacting the advertiser directly and proving them that the splogger copied all stuff!

I know if i use the widget it would take off everything i've included in the sidebar.

I choose to implement the IP block, since it was luckily captured in Akismet. You have some great ideas there. I choose to implement the IP block, since it was luckily captured in Akismet.

I did a couple of small things to break the splogs. I moved the location of the images in my articles, leading to broken images throughout the splogs. Secondly I started adding a credit and link to my own blog to all posts - meaning the splogger would just look dumb. I also blocked the IPs the splogs were at for good measure. Rather than a stroppy email, I just commented on my articles on the splogs asking they be taken down. I don't know how much more effort it would be worth though.
