It's probably worth noting that there's
already an excellent shared
regexp list here:

For the record, Wikimedia also has a blacklist (which only matches
inside URLs) at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist
Perhaps this too could be combined with others using an auto-update +
whitelist, as described at CommunityWiki (an ingenious system, I must
say). Although, I note that cw's list is quite large, and there seems
to be some legitimate concern at over-general entries (e.g. is
*everything* under .uk.net *really* going to be spam?), so it might
need heavy weeding before going "live" for something as large as {the
Wikimedia group of sites}
