Spam LJ comments

I just got three spam comments, from 193.253.55.70, 193.220.175.122, and 203.187.133.203 The spam comments (screened) were all links to poker sites that had random strings as the subjects of the posts. I've seen three other posts about LJ spam being up today. I encourage people to report (to your journal if nothing else) the IP addresses of the spammers. I don't really have time to follow up on them and I'm not really sure how to, honestly. The LJ FAQ talks about contacting someone's ISP, but it doesn't say how.

Thoughts?

I'm sure those IP addresses are either forged or hacked machines.

yeah, I tried doing a traceroute and it didn't work. I'm guessing forged.
