Text filter failing on spam bot links with unusual unicode characters

[PeZsmistic]

As of a couple (5?) of weeks ago I’ve started getting batches of 3-4 posts on my group wall from 2-3 different users with randomized usernames every single day, and the users change every day. Every single one has the same message format, and the URLs used change every couple of days. They contain unicode text and emojis.

Previously I was enjoying a wonderful months-long spell of a spam-free group wall.

Here are some samples. Obviously don’t visit these links.

Can confirm I’ve also been experiencing this. I wish these weird characters just weren’t allowed on group walls.

Players also using it for harassment:

Thank you for the reports, we’re aware of bypasses avoiding our automated text filtering. we are looking at ways we can combat this and appreciate all the shared examples.

Thanks for the acknowledgement!

In exchange, please take this additional sample from 30 minutes ago.

Still getting these, about 8 messages per unique user with a randomized username. Here is an updated sample:
