There are people who are spamming my forums and comments with
garbage. Is there a way to globally block users?

Need more info here. Do you

Need more info here. Do you have problem with anonymous users or authenticated? Which version of Drupal you are using?

Anyway, here are few solutions:
1. Allow posting only for authenticated users.
2. Block troublesome servers/emails through Drupal admin area.
3. Use antispam modules.

Go for option 3 if you need anonymous users to access your comments/forums; use:
http://drupal.org/project/captcha
http://drupal.org/project/akismet
http://drupal.org/project/spam
