How often it happens
You can enter as many dots in a row (actually any non alphanumerical character: ~\|<>{}[]+=/_€£@#$%^&*()-'":;!?,.) in a row as you want but not 9999 or 7777 (4 same numbers in a row). 60 dots in row is spam but 9999 or 7777 are not. You cannot enter [i:4444] because that is spam while many dots in a row is spam but the filter is passed.

Screenshot showing the reason for this suggestion


20+ ! in a row not spam

20+ dots in a row also not.

but:


just [i:4444] is spam?

Suggestion: allow to enter 4 same characters in a row for every character type


how do so many colons in a row go through the filter but 9999 does not?
