My frustration with your blacklisting of skyscrapercity
I very much DO understand why you blacklisted the site, looking at the log, it being used in mainspace despite being a forum. But I wanted to post a link on the REFDESK which would have been helpful to the OP, and was thwarted! Is there any way you can modify the blacklisting, so it only applies to mainspace?

 * Hey, sorry for late answer - new year holidays. While it's unfortunate that you weren't able to add a link to refdesk, please don't forget that Wikipedia's purpose is to build an encyclopedia, so mainspace's interests prevail over all the other places, especially refdesk which is mostly offtopic. You can still add this link by making it non-linkable, just wrap it in &lt;nowiki&gt;. Curently, the SpamBalcklist extension doesn't support per namespace filters. While this functionality can be achieved with AbuseFilter, I'm not aware of any precedents of anything like this being done, so that would require community consensus.
