These accounts all have the same modus operandi. This editor keeps spamming the Bluehost article with the same links. Scorpions13256 (talk) 19:55, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Renamed per CU request. I've queued a COIBot report at WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/bluehosts.co - since it's an obvious impersonation domain, it's going to get blacklisted, it's just a question of whether it's a local or global blacklisting. Will blacklist once results come back. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reopened - poking around the /64s of the reported IPs turned up a bunch more fake sites. Going to run these to ground and see if this turns up any more accounts. This reminds me of Sockpuppet investigations/Rajumitwa878, though sneaking in fake domains isn't exactly a unique behavior. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:32, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Requested global blacklisting of most domains at m:Special:Diff/20337583. The IPv6 range in play here (Verizon Wireless, I think?) is way too wide for a rangeblock, unfortunately. Since this spam group is doing cross-wiki spam, going to request a lock as well. I think that's all we can do here, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:58, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
