Sharing search/visit spam

Been getting some more search and visit spam in my Crushes pane.

This time it’s searches for strings like “633565988888667341” that somehow end up on my site from 131.107.0.96 (tide526.microsoft.com).

I’ve also been getting regular visits on single random entries from 165.193.254.* which turns out is from a badly behaving Searchme bot.

Wondering if it would be beneficial if we had a sticky post where we could share the addresses and characteristics of spiders/robots that have been doing this, so we can more efficiently tell what is spam and what isn’t.
