Comment:

 The regex was catching in this case, but the spammer had enough positive
 scores and so the spam came through.

 The BadContent from trac's page seems to miss some spam attempts we saw.
 So currently I'll stick with our regex, but will watch it and modify if I
 see the need.

 Most of the spam attempts we see in our trac are simple URLs. The spammer
 usually tried to post their spam 3--10 times and then change to another
 URL which they also try for 3--10 times. The only commonality with those
 links is the `http:` part. This spam makes up the most part we see and it
 arrives at a rate of 1--2 attempts per minute.
