For anyone happening to read this now, the filter has been removed.

"Wikia blocked this string a few weeks ago" - I have difficulty believing this to be true. It did not exist before December 30th, the last time I edited RuneScape Wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css. I can find no reports about this filter on w:c:vstf:Report:Spam filter problems before January 28th at which point 20 reports about this filter appeared in 2 days. Perhaps it existed in another form, but it did not cause anything like the issues the most recent incarnation did.

One possibility is altering the checkCSS function found in Sanitizer.php to remove usage of. It's much less obtrusive and could likely be targeted at user and user talk pages. There is the possibility that someone could create a template to get around it, but it's a start.
