That appears to work, at least for the current examples.
Friendly suggestion--maybe try to give suggestions like this privately rather than posting on this forum. The spammers can see the stuff posted here, and you might be coaching them inadvertently.
Honestly, I think the less said here by the mods about how they do blocking/clean up, the better. I've had to stop myself from posting the equivalent of "I don't get why the spammers are doing x" because it obviously suggests they do y instead, and I don't want to give them any ideas.
