Any consideration to adding a Poster Section to the Download Filter?

Thanks

There's a separate header download filter setup that applies to all groups. I'll have to dig up the documentation.

I was looking at it, and you can filter out message-id's but, not the from's.

Seems like NB is already filtering Posters based locking them out, but after header download. Why not add a switch to prevent downloading any locked out Poster posts once they are flagged as a spamming Poster?

It runs the risk of completely crippling header download speed. So, while I'll consider it, it's not something I'll turn on by default.
