Mist Automatically block known SR scammers

Feature idea: So, having some sort of in-chat notification for SR scammers is useful. Someone may have been legit and then decided to scam later, but they're already in your friends list for example.

But I think having an (optional) configuration item (checkbox?) that allows them to auto-ignore, auto-block known scammers would be nice.

So on the "Incoming friend request" event, we could probably check their rep, and drop the request without even showing it to the end-user if it's from a known scammer.

Oh, and maybe if not set to auto-ignore/block, pop up a messagebox when a scammer adds you and ask if you want to ignore/block or add them back?

True. I'm willing to deal with a scammer if they deal with non reversible terms (Liberty reserve only, they go first, they pay 3-5$ fee). Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
