Lightbulb An idea to block Spamming

In the future spamming could sink file sharing, so why not solving the problem right now? Spammers use a PHP-like application that renames spam files to match with the words searched.
Limewire should be able to automatically generate a random-code search (EG: 02keb4aube3), then block all IP's that returned 02keb4aube3 as results. And the whole process could be done in background.
-----------------------
And, just a trick: to find out the addresses I want to block, I take a Snapshot of my screen in the exact istant the spammer's IP appears.

Sending a query is far to expensive for the network. It would be better if people started blocking hosts manually (one-click block host from the search results tab will be released with v2.9 next week).
