Are you sure? I only checked 2 of the spammer IPs, and they are both 
blacklisted on rbls.org (61.50.242.197 and 220.163.37.233).

Anyway, I think the spam problem would be quite easy to handle if there 
was a better interface for rollback and IP blocking. I have never seen a 
Mediawiki wiki flooded with spam, because it needs far more effort to 
spam it than to repair it.
