I cannot be sure, but as I said I have a strong feeling about these two social channels. Particularly the yahoo service. And yes, I would test this by a trial of 20-30 days. If it's not difficult, I would also advise create a login service independent from social media. Like username and password and e-mail and of course a strong captcha.

Can we do that, even as a test/trial and see how it goes?
How exactly would you test this? You don't know when the spammer is going to post. If you're advising that we just switch them off and wait for a month, I'm not sure if it's a very good idea - I'd expect quite a few users using these authentication methods. The issue is that we haven't info on our userbase - who is using what, how many are using what. If we can narrow down the methods that the spammer is using, we can work on something to limit them.
