Hey Krzysztof. I can't imagine more nazi-er thing to do than to ban some
scripts implying that this is the primary writing script to spam.

Hello.
Over the past year I received spam message only in russian language or
in russian and english language together. I think we can block such
messages like it is in one of polish IM - just block incoming/outgoing
messages where is Cyrillic characters in text. At this time it's only
the one way to stop spam. Maybe someone can write such functionality
as module for ejabberd and prosody?

I like the general idea, but the protocol (not the questions
themselves
obviously) should be standardised into a XEP so that not every client
creates its own idea of how to do it. You should suggest it on the
xmpp-standards mailinglist.

As I said above, try to consolidate that into a XEP first, then ask
client authors to implement it.
