At this moment, we are getting spambots that are spamming blacklisted domain names, however, they are hitting the AbuseFilters first. This means that we are getting a lot of abuse reports to wade through (sloooooow process) only to find that domain is blacklisted and there is no need to further manage the domain. I am wondering whether it is possible to run the checks against the global spam blacklist prior to running the abuse filter checks. I understand that this will mean that I may miss seeing that an account is spamming a blacklisted url, however, I can live with that. Spambots do not tend to offer more than the one spam url.
According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks, the order hooks are called depends on when they are loaded. Looking at CommonSettings.php, first the SpamBlacklist is loaded, then AbuseFilter. Both AF and SB use the APIEditBeforeSave and EditFilterMergedContent hooks, so I'm not sure why the SpamBlacklist isn't stopping these first.

Er, it's already in the correct order I believe. If SB is loaded first, it should register its hook first, which means it should get called first.
This is still occurring, twice today. Here is one https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/examine/log/29897 welovesbobet.net is caught by blacklists: [global] \bwelovesbobet\.net\b
