Bug description:
The IM notifications and messaging menu would be improved by blacklisting
system messages, for example from chanserv and nickserv.
Large numbers of notifications and messaging menu entries which do not
correspond to real, high-value communications undermine the usefulness and
excitement of notifications/messaging menu in general. So we want to eliminate
noise from that channel.
The blacklist is an advanced feature so does not need to have user-visible
preferences, at least in the first iteration. It would be acceptable for there
to be a configuration file or gconf setting which lists the nick's which are
blacklisted, so expert users could change the list.
This bug should be targeted to 9.10 for Pidgin, and any other IM clients for
which we aim to deliver notifications and messaging menu integration in 9.10.
