Stephen,
There were a number of spam posts to the blog in a foreign language. One of the moderators did spam them but they hung around in the topics for some reason, creating havoc with the topic display in the dashboard.

I could only find them when I went to Dashboard>Home and viewed them in Right Now In The Forums under Users and Moderation> Hidden Topics. There they were. It was difficult to trash them, hanging the server a number of times. But eventually I got rid of them all and the Topics display returned to normal.

I am not sure why Akismet didn’t get block them. Perhaps it can only respond to certain language texts?
my best
