[DXBase] how do you guys/gals handle these?

I know Ron has a cluster node and maybe he can help answer.
Most of the cluster software have filters, such as band, mode, country of
origin etc.
But I don't think many have what I call 'CONTENT' filters.
Lately there has been a lot of cluster spots using obviously fake callsigns,
comments with unsuitable language etc. You could filter out spots
originating from various parts of the world while allowing others. (sort of
a semi nodxdedx command)
Even frequent bickering between dysfunctional cluster users has become
common.
I wish to NEVER see another spot originating from DX1ER, N0LID, F00L etc.
I don't care to see these. The only way I see to eliminate them from my
screen is to have user chosen filters.
Options to include 'words', 'callsigns'. etc into a list that DXB would
check and ignore if present. Sort of like the IRC clients 'Ignore' feature.
I realize this could add a level of processing with it's inherent slowdown
but if the feature was optional it would only effect users who wish enable
it.
Does any other DXB user feel as I do?
Does any other DXB user have a solution?
This one has recently moved high on my 2004 wishlist.
