Thanks for reporting. Assigned to @leafo as he's probably the one with access to delete user/modules.

Thanks, I'm on it.

I figure that now that spammers have discovered the site we're going need to be checking more regularly. I'm going to code some moderation tools and maybe we can think about electing people with moderator status who can suspend accounts?

The pages have been deleted but I still need to figure out how to add detection and prevention going forward since once spammers discover your site they don't give up.
