Hagan Fox created a version of Blocklist2 which he called "cmsb-blocklist.php".

I have installed it and found it very (no, not very, extremely) 
effective. I don't see any need for the "steroids" approach, and I am 
one of those people with a tiny overworked server who is quite 
willing to use whatever works and nothing more.

I found that the single most effective way of blocking wikispam was 
by adding URL fragments to the blocklist, and they were handled quite 
well by Blocklist2.
