How to stop link spam bots without blocking or unfriending them?

[Moldo]

I WANT THEM TO STOP! There are a ton of bots who gave me friend requests and I accepted.
Now they spam me with malicious links and they won't stop or listen to what I want to say to them! I still wait for them to get banned. But, after 6 months after I reported them and gave arguments, they still spam me! I don't want to unfriend them or to block them or anything to stop them messaging me, I want them to stop sending me malicious links and talk to me. How to do that? How to get them banned?
They all send me messages telling me I'm lucky
(for example:
Good News!
1 free steam skin for you!
Take the item you want!
Go to https://casetake.com)
I got ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and a malicious link under that. THEY SPAM ME! I cannot even play CS:GO without getting lagged by that message!
PLZ STOP THEM FROM SPAMMING!!!! I DIDN'T REPORT THEM FOR NO REASON!
Their names are: Janeo, Bootlessfurball, Timo241 and Chudah™. How do I escape from their spam without unfriending/blocking/making my account private for them?

Bots doesn't care what you reply to them, only thing they was developed for was to spam you with malicious links.

Unfriend and/or block them and it stops, there is no other way.

If you must have the bots as friends, report the account for sending malicious links.

Why do you not want to block/unfriend? Report, Block and unfriend.

• Also you really wanna change your display name.

It's quite simple, you have to make a choice here. Either:
- You want them on your friend list and accept the messages;
- You want the messages to stop, so you either block or unfriend them.

Pick one.

Why anyone keeps scambots on their friends list is beyond me.

Block, report, and move on.
Keeping them on your friends list is just shooting yourself in the foot.

so you accepted Bot accounts, complain about being spammed but you don't want to use the easy solution because you want to get scammed?

people..

They're bots. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

And even then, they still won't stop.

Inform your Steam friends and tell them not to click on vague links anymore.

I already reported their profile username for that but no action was taken yet.

Unfriend/block them to stop receiving spam messages. Not exactly too hard of a task to pull off.
