@CalvT븃 not inserting the link properly tells me they're not very familiar with markdown, or SE, which known spammers are, and it probably was done by hand
I surfed ibwpro.com using an anonymizing proxy and while the blog appears to contain information about a lot of products (many of which look awfully familiar from spam we see here) only one of them had a "buy here" in the "how to purhcase" section which was present in every product entry. This one triggered a form on tryhealthysoftskincream.com which however looks like just another one in the spammer's herd of web sites

@DavidPostill It looks like that filter is missing quota_remaining. I thought the API had a route to allow us to decode the filter, but I can't find it to check.

Although smokey should learn to listen to the API's backoff orders.
My guess is that we got a backoff greater than 12 with an error message and we ignored it. Then we used our default of 12 seconds (here). Then we angered the API as we cleared the rest of our queue for the next several cycles of 12 seconds before falling back out of the backoff time we'd been given

@DavidPostill Not really. I'm just kinda curious. I haven't gotten a ton of spam on Computer Science Educators yet, so I'd like a sneak peek at what to expect.
@CalvT븃 Yay, metasmoke is written in ruby. That's a thing I understand.
@thesecretmaster Could be, or could be that smokey didn't realise it was spam. One thing you can do is report the posts here before deleting them, that we smokey will learn to catch them
