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?
