Traced from WP:WPSPAM report (original diff). Sockfarm using multiple accounts to spam the same link across multiple tennis-related articles. I'm tempted to request a CU in case there are other accounts that they can find which are spamming different links, given the scale of the operation this could well be a group/organization which specialises in spamming like this. However, I realize that a check will likely take a long time which the CUs may not have. Pahunkat (talk) 09:51, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

I've added a request for the domain to be listed on the global blacklist - was originally looking for an addition to the enwiki blacklist through WP:WPSPAM given that most of it was on enwiki, but per NinjaRobotPirate I've gone to the global one, there is a bit of xwiki activity.

 * – they're indeed all spamming links to supertennisracquet.com – the two that are attached but don't have edits here and  did that on plwiki and dewiki respectively . A sleeper check is warranted given the very large number of socks. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 10:56, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * All the non-stale accounts are ✅ to each other and are editing from what looks like a web host. It's good that this has now been blocked, but to really stop something like this, you need the global spam blacklist, which seems accept submissions at m:Talk:Spam blacklist.

 * Tagged the lot for good measure. Will look into the spam blacklist thing tomorrow if nobody gets to it first. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 19:48, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
