Every posted and confirmed traffic manipulating / abusive
bad relay gets banned, just see any prior report on this
list and they should all still be gone.
Even highly suspicious sets of relays that get posted, like tens
of anon nodes / bots all popping up at once end up being
banned, again check prior reports.
People confirming on tor-relays etc can take a while, or they're
just busy. There are a couple pages dealing with bad exits / relays
on the wiki. If suspect relays are found, reports seem forgotten,
or banned relays return, please [re]post it for others to follow up on.

You can bet the 90+ popup set in the subject will be banned
real soon now.
