Free bitcoin scheme site, occasional spamming by IPs and SPAs - currently ongoing. No encyclopedic usage. GermanJoe ( talk) 14:46, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
This domain was left out of the previous discussion. I have already removed or changed almost all of the links pointing to this domain. Examples:
There were more links than listed above. Please advise if action should be taken against the user as well. Newslinger ( talk) 12:08, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Repeated spam for XXX video site after several warnings. Circumvention of autoconfirmed protection with nonsensical batch edits. No foreseeable "encyclopedic" usage. GermanJoe ( talk) 10:40, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Repeatedly spammed, continued after level 4 warning which earned a 48 h. block. Starting here to get a record, blacklist if still persisting. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 14:14, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

The link was inserted here by 24.91.172.79 ( talk · contribs). It's a malware link that Cunard reverted here. Can it be blacklisted? Tactical Fiend ( talk) 15:51, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Repeated spamming from various SPA IPs for an online loan site (all inclusive with a 15 minute online application, cash in only 3 days). This looks like SEO activity (IP 122.176.47.147 had been warned). The site has no foreseeable encyclopedic usage. GermanJoe ( talk) 12:48, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Should be globally blacklisted. See User talk:Lepardland#My domain is blacklisted and I dont know why for the gist. There's a "spamming war" going on between a pair of Bengal cat breeders in Europe, across multiple editions of Wikipedia. Lepardland is one of them and is utterly convinced that his GatoBengali.net (blacklisted yesterday) is a reliable source and has a right to be an ext. link on Wikipedia, (English, Spanish, etc.) just because ABengalCat.com, his competitor, got away with injecting spam links into es:Bengala (gato), and so on. I've manually removed ABengalCat.com from the Spanish and a few other articles, but they could be anywhere. This just needs to stop.
We might want to consider some kind of "speedy listing criterion" for animal breeders, because this sort of thing is a constant headache for anti-spam patrollers. Breeders (of everything – pigs, dogs, goats, pigeons, etc.) are always trying to inject their websites as either ext. links or as actual sources, and in roughly 0.0% of cases is this appropriate.

I suggest removing google.com/cse/ because in an AFD I was just in, I tried to link to the results from the Anime and manga Wikiproject's custom Google search and it blocked it. The AFDs should have a link to any custom search for any wikiproject the nominated page is part of, that'd make it easier for people to find valid sources. I searched the archives and don't see any reason listed as to why it was blocked in the first place other than one place they said to use Wikipedia search, upset people were using Google to search for articles on Wikipedia instead. I don't think that's a problem anymore though. Dream Focus 00:57, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Three url shortening services being actively abused by the IP range to try to get around the blacklist. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 13:57, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
@ Edgar181:, there are way more - I found a handful but we may be overlooking some. I have overruled the target of the redirects on XLinkBot (for as far as the bots detect that the site is actually a redirect site) and made XLinkBot report editors to AIV immediately.

This website plays a huge role in the shipping community, which is indicated by the large number of followers/registered users and high-quality information provided by the world's biggest shipping lines, carriers, ports, terminals and freight forwarders. I cannot see why this should be spam or anything else that would require Wikipedia to blacklist this website. The resource is informational and encyclopedia-based. After reviewing of several articles [1][2] it was mentioned that links to the website were added by bots or anyone else - not administration of the website (in ads purposes), in far 2015. Currently there are no articles on Wikipedia with any links to the website in order to promote it. The website itself is acknoledged and used by me and many colleagues of mine to represent similar resource for international shipping, as Booking.com - for hotels.

I'm not sure if this is warranted for blacklisting yet, but serious BLP violations resulted from links to images on that site claiming to be medical records of a victim. Since these needed revdelete, I nowiki-commented the above, in case it would disclose too much (I'm not sure if COIBot will report revdeleted instances, this may be problematic if so)...
