UserVoice RSS feed hijacked?

I set up an RSS feed for the Feature Requests forum on UserVoice a while back. I opened up the feed today and found numerous identical "comments" from a user identified as "tytkjhk" that look more like a poorly written junk mail advertisement than anything else.

Will someone please confirm it and do what's necessary to fix it?

    papajay, it's not hijacked, it was just a spammer. We deleted his account and that hopefully won't happen again, as we also initiated some anti-spam measures.

    it's being worked on, guys. I'm at the mercy of Uservoice. They are trying to fix the spam situation. Thank you for your patience while they and we work it out.

    Any updates on this? Perhaps it is time to look for another service that allows feature requests.
