Description

Now that there is (crypto) money involved, spam and abuse show up :-(

Can you please consider functionality to
- block users (maybe even report them, or put an expiring negative statement on their sigchain)
- limit the users that may send me messages (mimimum friends, minimum proofs, max negative statements on their sigchain ...)

Thank you for your consideration!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the chat message flow and the sigchain-related areas, then clarify whether blocking, reporting, and sender restrictions are all in scope. Done would require an agreed design, implementation boundaries, and tests for the selected abuse controls.
