Hello. I am using the version 2.5.8 with the ICQ plugin. I live in Russia, and this protocol is the most popular among the other ones. We here are always having many fake authorization requests made by spammers as a workaround to all possible message filters to spread commercials and fake password-stealing links.
I would like to request the blocker functionality in Pidgin. That would be blocking all authorization requests (and optionally messages from people not on my contact list) coming through ICQ protocol. I have tried a third-party plugin that can block this stuff, but it requires me to enter a denial reason each time the plugin blocks a request, and the pop-up window appears too often for me to feel comfortable. :) I have talked to the plugin's author, — he found out that it is impossible for to solve the problem with the means of the plugin and requires a patch to Pidgin's code. I have looked through the Pidgin website to report a bug. That is where I saw the notice saying that the plugin issues are not assisted with. So I am requesting this functionality in Pidgin. Thank you. Best regards, -- Misha Shnurapet °v° I ♥ Linux /(_)\ Download the free operating system here: ^ ^ http://fedoraproject.org
