I just started using Opera, and by default, that browser has a feature called "Opera Turbo" enabled (anticipating network requests and loading them through an Opera-hosted proxy server). It's that feature that is using that IP address, which means the spammer was also using the Opera browser. So blocking 140.0.8.155 may block all Opera users with Turbo enabled (or there might be more than one possible IP address used by the feature), and the spammers can get around the block by disabling Opera Turbo.
