Package: gaim
Version: 1:1.5.0+1.5.1cvs20051015-1
Severity: wishlist

This morning I was forcibly disconnected by the AOL IM service and upon
reconnection received these messages:

(04:14:30) AOL System Msg: AIM added a new AIM Bots group to your Buddy
List.
(04:14:30) AOL System Msg: Send IMs to moviefone and shoppingbuddy for
great holiday flicks and gift ideas. (To remove 'em, just right-click
and delete! Learn More)

to all of my AIM accounts.  Indeed, AOL had forced gaim to create a new
group and added three sets of these new 'spim'ed services.  Adding these
bots to gaim's privacy/ignore list did nothing until I deleted the
buddies, upon which I received (again, three copies) of this message:

(04:19:45) AOL System Msg: The following bots are no longer available
and have been removed from your buddy list: moviefone. To find out more
about bots, go to (a deleted URL)
(04:19:54) AOL System Msg: The following bots are no longer available
and have been removed from your buddy list: shoppingbuddy. To find out
more about bots, go to (a deleted URL)

The 'AOL System Msg' 'buddy' is also unblockable by gaim.

A useful upstream feature would of course be the ability to maintain
client-side buddy list integrity and client-side filtering of IMs from
undesirable AOL extensions to the AIM service.

Thanks for taking this madness over from me, robot101.
