@Cow 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 912-542-0150 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 912-542-0150. Append -force to the command word(s) if you really want to add the pattern you provided.

@Cow On some sites, we used to have spam flags expire from time to time. Fortunately, SE changed it a while back so that spam and R/A flags no longer expire.

@Cow If it's not possible for there to be a match without the "s", when the "s" exists, such as will commonly be the case with watch and blacklist entries, then possessive is going to be faster, as there will be no backtracking to characters where a match isn't possible. Our typically using possessive in many of our quantifiers is because we know when writing the regex that it's not possible for it to match if the quantified thing was backtracked over individual characters (e.g., a [\W_]*+ followed by a required character that's in [A-Za-z\d]). We're generally using possessiveness because we know that backtracking through something would be wasted computational effort, regardless of the input text. One does have to be careful, though, in the use of possessiveness, as it's possible to end up unintentionally excluding some matches when possessiveness is used in a case where backtracking might produce a match.
