A good suggestion, but it would've been done long ago if it was that simple.
I added the site name to the filter a few days ago, so the spam doesn't benefit them any more - of course, that doesn't make it any less annoying. I've also reached out to the site itself, and let them know that the spam is useless. This is from their reply:

*SITE X* has recently been hit with a series of fake accounts that are attempting to put links up to illegal streaming sites. We are working hard to keep up with deleting them and putting additional protective measures in place to ensure it does not happen further.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if you need more information.
Given the nature of the site and the spam that's being posted, this actually seems quite plausible. Hopefully they'll find a way to stop it for and once and for all, but in the meantime I'm afraid post reports, as Mike mentioned, are the way to go. Thanks to both you and King Spew (and others) who have been diligently reporting them.
We may have to take the step of confirming new accounts before they can post for a while if this keeps up.
