Blocking authorization requests with hyperlinks #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I often receive spam auth requests that contain hyperlinks. I don't want to
block all auth requests, because some of them are from my friends, but my
friends always write something like "Hi, I'm John Doe, remember me?" and
not "Hi, I'm Lolita. Look here I am totally naked http://..." Is it
possible to add an options "Block auth requests with hyperlinks" and "Block
messages with hyperlinks from those who not in my buddy list"? Maybe even
"regex"+text input fields instead of "hyperlinks".

Sorry for marking issue as "Defect" it is of course just an enhancement.

+1 for this one
the spam is really annoying. actually a way to simply block auth request based 
on a blacklist or even a regexp would be even cooler. (some of the auth spam i 
get doesn't have a link in it, but in the profile, and the text reads something 
like "hi, we met last week, check the url in my profile for my newest pics" ...

Huh, it seems I forgot to reply to this one - sorry!

Anyway, great idea. However, at the moment plugins don't have access to the 
content of an authorization request, thus I cannot check it for hyperlinks. I 
opened a bug report against pidgin a while ago to have that changed but I guess 
I (or someone else who has some spare time, *hint* ;)) will have to send them a 
patch (see http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/8690).

A patch was submitted to pidgin but needs some more work, thus 0.6.3 was 
released without this feature.

The required patch should be included in pidgin 2.8.0
