Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: YoHell (yohell) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Summary: Deny/authorize request dialog needs a block button. Initial Comment: Blocking people needs to be easier (and by "people" I particularily mean abusers and persistent porn vendors). Preferably it should be easier to block someone than it is to send me a please-let-me-add-you-to-my-contact-list-nag-request. It would be neat if the dialog where you can Authorize or Deny requests from other people to add my account to their contact list also had a block button. Or if that's too hard to do, then it would be sweet if you could make it possible to mark the dialog text itself so one could copy-paste the offending user name to the block dialog. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-11 13:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

Does anyone know if anyone actually does any work on this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2006-06-26 15:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 ditto ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Megan Schneider (ciran) Date: 2006-06-26 11:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=801517 Adding comment from #1464255 (xeeleeuniversum - xeeleeuniversum): Add a button in the ICQ/AIM authorization requester window which blocks further authorization requests from a user if this user trys to add me again and again and again. For example as a prevention against stalker or bot users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: bacon (johnnyskidmark) Date: 2006-03-19 22:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1070656 I agree with the previous comments, and would also suggest a button to display the user's account information. When someone requests authorization I almost always check their profile first, and it's not convenient to have to manually copy their screen name into the Get User Info dialog (especially for ICQ where it's a number and easier to make mistakes). A button that does this automatically from the authorization request prompt would be nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jake Wharton (jakewharton) Date: 2006-03-08 03:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1436766 i agree. from my recollection gaim 1.5 let me add users to my buddy list when they were requesting authorization. both that and blocking would be quite useful ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1440800&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
