@JeffSchaller That pattern may be a North American number. If it is, please use a format which starts with an optional 1 followed by possible separator text and has the main number in the format 808-974-8652 where - could be a single alpha character or any [\W_]*+. Alternately, you can add the comment (?#IS NorAm) to the end of the pattern to force also using the alternate normalized form, or (?#NO NorAm) if it's not a North American phone number and it's incorrectly recognized as one. Perhaps try !!/blacklist-number 808-974-8652. Append -force to the command word(s) if you really want to add the pattern you provided.

SE has temporarily upped the base number of flags everyone can cast network-wide to 100, as a response to the network-wide spam wave we're receiving. If you have the flag posts privilege, you should have 100 available to cast by default now. In addition, the maximum number of flags you can have as a result of helpful flag count + reputation is now 1000, up from 100.

@Makyen I believe your instance is experiencing distress. I'm also not confident Cerberus is operating properly, though I have not really played with that one (I'm worried I'm overly pushing buttons now). In addition, Art's TRINITY instance doesn't appear to be able to communicate with git properly. This is slightly above my ability to diagnose, and I'd appreciate if you could take a peek.

@Anerdw I do not know. It's clear that SE is taking other mitigation measures as the spam influx has severely slowed, though it has not stopped. When the spam stops things'll likely go back to normal. I'll let y'all know if/when things go back to normal, but I wouldn't expect it to go back to normal until this flood stops.
