@JeffSchaller A normalized version, {{'18008808132', '8008808132'}}, of that pattern is already on the number watchlist and the pattern you provided is not an exact match to an existing entry on the number watchlist. You can use !!/bisect-number 18008808132 to determine which entries on the number lists match that pattern, which would tell you: Matched by +1-800-880-8132 on line 4228 of watched_numbers.txt: 18008808132 found normalized

@Fastnlight That pattern looks like it's already caught by Potentially bad keyword in body and Potentially bad keyword in answer Append -force to the command word(s) if you really want to add the pattern you provided.
 
@Vickel cc @tripleee The leading (?:[\W_]*+)? is what caused the CI failures, due to an interaction within the regex package with other entries on the watchlist, along with our use of the Unicode \b, causing catastrophic computational/time use. We have a few CI tests which are specifically intended to catch this issue which such leading non-word constructs typically cause (in addition to a couple of other causes, IIRC). Specifically, that entry on its own takes 0.00375 seconds to be processed on that test, but combined with other entries it takes about 7.5 seconds, which is well above the maximum processing time that CI test looks for in order to fail.
[Hmmm... this reminds me that I should add an additional CI test to catch another regex computational/time use issue that was recently seen.]
As to the entry itself, the (?:[\W_]*+)? is internally redundant (i.e., the [\W_]*+ is already optional, so enclosing it in an optional non-capturing group, (?:)?, just adds extra backtracking without added functionality). It's possible to have a situation where the rest of the regex makes that additional optional non-capturing group functional, but that's not the case here.
In addition, having the (?:[\W_]*+)? at the beginning isn't functionally required to match what you're looking for and doesn't appear to be matching any additional information which will be of benefit in the why data. So, as has been mentioned, it's better without it.
If there is a case where an entry like that which causes the CI tests for catastrophic regex processing to fail is really needed, it is possible to write a separate Rule with such a regex. We've done that in at least one other case.
Just FYI: I'm working on some changes to how the blacklist/watchlist entries are processed which currently look like they will include running such entries separately, so that issue may be generally alleviated in the relatively near future. However, that's not a goal of those changes, just a likely consequence, so may not end up being in the code that gets merged.
@Nick Well before 11.

@Fastnlight Yeah, but most likely if they use that code, they also use the words "referral" and whatever words triggered the filters here, so I don't think watching the code is really needed
 
However, the word referral could be used in a legitimate post, while the code itself won't, which means we can blacklist it later so smokey can eventually autoflag these posts
It's not a very big deal, but it can help
