New Event action: "block contact"

Description

I would like a way to have Adium auto-block messages from senders by pattern. I want this so that I never see messages from any AIM user with "salmon" in their name.

If you don't know what I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_bot

I get harassed by these bots daily. I've blocked hundreds of them. They apparently never use the same screen name twice, but the screen name always contains the word "salmon".

  • owner deleted.
  • component changed from Adium Core to Events.
  • milestone set to Adium X 1.4.

If the Events system gets reworked in 1.4, perhaps this could fit in there. 

berdan: zac: Is http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/10573 something that you can envision being in a reworked Events system?
zac: it could be, applescript a "new message from contact whose name matches.."
zac: though i'm sure "block contact" could be an action
