How to block Spammers and/or unknown persons?

Hello,
maybe someone from MS read this, if yes, this is a feature request.

Imagine you be active in a lot of forums and websites and the choice
"only from contacts on my contactlist" is not an option.

What now?
You get a message from harry, , an invite to be friend
from Harry, whatever...

-Harry add no text to the message
-Harry have an private or no profile
-....
=> Harry, who to hell is Harry?

I hope someone see the point. My contactlist is filled up with contacts
who never talked with me, they talked in an unintelligible language or
they show me only websites about girls with very big t... , only a very
few users are peoples from websites or forums.
That's only annoying, no more.

Yes I can remove them from my contactlist, but I can't delete them.
I don't know the actual limit for all contacts, but I have at the
moment approximately 400 contacts in my list, only 50 are "real"
contacts. AND before I can remove them I must do some action, at least
click on "OK" in diferent dialogs.

Hi,

I've gotten a lot more of this since the latest Live website updates. I dread to think how
many of these request popups are hitting actual "popular" people.

I don't know if there is a relation between the last live sites updates
and this request, sorry. I only know that I get 2-4 requests each day
from unknown persons.
And I must admit, I have no any idea about it.
Maybe an option "Only from persons with a puplic profile" or the info
textfield, when a person add another, must contain a text.
