-The dates of the visits line up perfectly with the dates of the spammings on 30 Sep and 01 Oct. But the Chinese spammer of 05 Oct is unlisted.

 What about the visitors after the 05 October? I blocked all new account creation, so these visits might be:
 *Random hits generated by the fact that the site is listed on the Chinese google
-*Visits from the previous spammers coming back to try again
