So, what would it take to get rid of this spam problem?

I know I'm new, but I'd like to help. I realize there's a complex model of moderation here, but there's got to be a way to kill the spamming accounts and posts if there's someone with the ability to do it. What would it take?

I feel really sad to see these spammers pissing on Barbelith's corpse like this. Every time I come here thinking I'll post at least something, the sheer volume of spammy posts creates such a barrier to usability I basically have give up and leave without posting (obviously the irony is that I'm posting about not posting because B'lith is unusable, of course, which means that it is usable, really, even still … sort of). Moreover it just feels like witnessing the desecration of someone's dead relative.

If it helps at all, I've started clearing it all out again. I've had to shut down entry again though. And any new users who hasn't posted anything yet has also been removed. Sadness.

Huzzah! Thanks for that, Tom; even if that unfortunately means new people are not able to sign up for now … the board looks more bright and shiny already! Although I think I might be feeling a bit dizzy from the cleaning supply fumes …
