Instructions for admins 'Any admin unfamiliar with this page should probably seek advice from another admin, or from a Bureaucrat, thanks. If in doubt, please leave a request and a spam-knowledgeable admin will follow-up.'


 * 1) Does the site have any validity to the project?
 * 2) Have links been placed after warnings/blocks?  Have other methods of control been exhausted? Has a spam report been filed with VSTF?
 * 3) Please ensure all links have been removed from articles and discussion pages before blacklisting.
 * 4) Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line).  Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regex — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
 * 5) Close the request entry on here using either, or , as appropriate.  The request should be left open for a week or more as there will often be further related sites or an appeal in that time.
 * 6) Log the entry.   If you do not log any entry you make on the blacklist, it may well be removed if someone appeals and no valid reasons can be found.  To log the entry, you will need this number -  after you have closed the request.  See here for more info on logging.
