Thank you Tim. Since bv4... is active again, I was about to either request 'someone' do that, or try to figure out how.

What happens if someone else trips the filter (collateral damage)? Are
they informed that they're blocked, or does the post get black-holed?

The spam filter is different from the block list. The block_list discards. Nikos was warned and informed before being added. I presume bv4 is just blocked. The spam filter sends to a human moderator who either accepts or discards. The filter is not currently tuned to catch CoC violations, such as personal insults, from otherwise normal posters. If it were, moderators could reject with explanation and suggestion to revise.
