Public bug reported: Every day when I log in, I have anywhere between 15-20 robots asking me to "Please Add Me". I always say no (one at a time), and each request window goes away as I would expect. However, the next day, as soon as I log in, the exact same requests are there... again.
My belief is either empathy is not relaying my denial to the server, or the requests are coming from robots which enqueue the exact same request every night. At least 15-20 of them are the exact same daily offenders. The list only seems to be getting longer, with new names appearing around once a week. The offender requests are presently all coming in through the yahoo messenger service. Is there any way to block these? Or are we sure that empathy is sending the "permission denied" response to the server? Needless to say, this has become a really annoying 5 minute nuisance every day.
