Indeed.
Don't do a thing publicly, just hit the report button.
Last night one person manually had to make 80 spam posts, it must've taken about 30 minutes out of her life to do that. It took me about 30 seconds to nuke all of it.
Anyhow, they're from China. The IP range has now been blocked, Akismet anti-spam has been enabled, and I've noticed that all of the users they registered shared a similarity so any user that arrives with that similarity will be automatically nuked.
And to the question: "How did they get past the nursery?", they didn't... they never PM'd anyone, so all of their spam was public and we could do something about it, and they also never started a thread... people in the nursery are allowed to respond to existing threads, which is what happened.
Key points: Don't reply or tell them to fuck off, in all likelihood they can't speak English anyway... just hit the report button and if I'm online it will be instant, and if not it will be done as soon as I am online.
