The staff recommended I talk to the VSTF. They also said if the VSTF can't handle it, the only option would be disabling article comments permanently.

Nikolai,

Thanks for contacting Wikia. I'm sorry having your these spam issues on. It looks like you already established that the spam comments are coming in from different IP addresses. That makes it impossible for us to block each one, as whatever spambot that has targeted you will keep adjusting. You have two options:

1. Contact our Volunteer Spam Task Force at http://vstf.wikia.com/wiki/VSTF_Wiki. They have specialized tools to help admins who find themselves drowning in spam.

2. Disable article comments for good. This approach could just lead the spammers to making edits, and it would keep your users from being able to make actual comments but if the VSTF is unable to get the problem under control it is a viable option.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Happy Editing,
