  • IM Spam Blocker for Trillian!

    Well, this has just been the week of kickass little helper apps.

    An old-ish plugin for Trillian was given new life last week. It's called "Spam Challenge".

    What it does, is whenever someone who ISN'T on your buddy list tries to message you, this plugin automatically sends them a (customizable) message like this:

    "This is an automated attempt to discover if you are a human, have basic typing skills, and can read. If you fail any of these criteria, Gurm has no desire to talk to you.

    Please type "I'm not worthy!" (sans quotes) now, or your messages will never reach their intended destination."

    It kicks ass.

    All the AIM porn spam I've been getting... is now being zapped into the ether!

    - Gurm
    The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

      Hmm, I never get IM spam. Why not? And yes, unknown people can add me.

        I never got spam either. I'm thinking it has to do with ZoneAlarm for me, who knows...?
        Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

          Helevitia - ZA shouldn't matter.

          Gurm - I don't get IM spam (I used to on ICQ when I published my online status), but if I do, I'll use that. Cool.
