This is going to get harder and harder to identify and fight. Is it worthwhile to put something like this in a new category which we are very confident about and so if it fails on the new combined image/text thing we can delete it outright?
Not sure if this is a good idea or not but I had to add extra static filters to pop the older text only stock spam above my delete weight. This combined image/text is going to make it tougher I think. Thoughts?
