Yeah, I really wish we understood what is driving this traffic and why the profile might have shifted. Is this an SEO trick (either effective or not)? Are they embedding these pages in a weird place/way? Its like a cat and mouse game where we don't even know what kind of cheese the mouse likes...

I'd suggest we re-instate some of the repeat offenders in the static blacklist for now.
