Add Feature: Only Friends can add the User to conference calls (found on Alchemy) & Maybe Only friends can Mass TP me

Description

Only Friends can add the User to conference calls (found on Alchemy), this peaceful addition might stop some of those fake can you lend me L$100 lindens and those folks who add you to conversations that you have no interest in. Additionally Limiting non friends sending Mass TP would be nice too, actually I wish sometimes my mostly good friends would not Mass TP me.

A LITTLE NOTE OF GRATITUDE: I am a very grateful and sad Linux user who really appreciates all the Hard Work and selfless dedication the 2 of you have put in voluntarily maintaining this feature rich viewer for Linux users as well as for OSX and Windows users. It would be sad to see Kokua no longer able to maintain the Linux option but its understandable. Sadly I am not a coder, certainly not a techie, I still failing to bang the rocks together.

Many thanks for the very speedy adoption of the first suggestion. Thanks again for explaining to me clearly why adopting a suggested feature (the part two in this case) is problematic and not possible at this stage at the best. I have praised the Kokua Jira to many people.

Added as new option KokuaIgnoreNonFriendAdHocGroupIM accessible via Preferences / Chat & IM / IM

Preventing mass TP is more complex. The viewer receiving the TP lure doesn’t, as far as I can see, know whether the TP lure forms part of a mass request.

A ‘only friends can send TP lures’ option might help, however its effects would go beyond ad hoc IM sessions so I’m going to leave that for the moment. The first change will help to prevent some mass TPs too by not being a part of the ad hoc conversation group.

Many thanks for the note of gratitude!

I’ll investigate both these with a view to adding them for the next release.
