1) Every time I log into my yahoo accounts through pidgin I get about 10 or
15 friend requests that are actually spam bots trying to get me to add them
to my friend list. It would be nice if Pidgin allowed me to block all friend
requests, conference requests, and any other requests. To make it even
better, it could block all friend requests unless the user is already on my
friend list, that way I could add a friend and not have to turn off the
friend request block when the friend tries to add me.
Have you looked at any of the Pidgin Add-ons? There are two that might
provide you
relief from Spammers. "bOt_tOOls or "Bot Sentry".

I had problems with spammers when using AOL/AIM protocol, and installed
"Bot Sentry".
Now, nothing shows up as a request. I have also seen IM requests when I
open my Yahoo
Email account that don't show up in my Pidgin execution.
The link for "bOt tOOls" appears to be broken. "Bot Sentry" is
downloaded from "sourceforge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin-bs/>"
