Comment(by etd):

 I made a perl plugin that does something like this. You just have to watch
 for patterns yourself and add them to the list of regular expressions.
 There's about 15 of them now that catch 99%. Some false positives but that
 can't be avioded.

 Some bots are starting to include white colored text as word seperators to
 circumvent blocking measures. I have a few ideas for coping with that.

 Anyway I'm not sure if it's cool to link the plugin here, is it?

 I'd like to get some people using it and some feedback. Maybe a url to get
 updated regexes for people that aren't inclined to edit them. if/
