Unable to be ignored

If anybody has been noticing sometimes there are spammers on the servers in MOVIEBATTLES 2, and the command /ignore is very useful. But does anybody know how to be unable to be ignored, that meaning that you can't ignore the person who is spamming ? I've noticed that reconnecting gets the ignorement go away, but once you've connected and start spam again you will be farily easy to be able to be ignored again.

Thx, for in advance.

usually a similar feature in the games is implemented in 2 possible ways:
- on the server which acts just like a "forwarder" of packets and messages, so if the feature works server-side then it will just block the messages from the ignored user to the one who enabled the ignore for that person
- on the same client and probably this is also the easiest solution

in both the ways there is not much to do if they are well programmed except just exiting and rejoining.
obviously the exit/join method doesn't work if the game uses unique IDs to identify players (common on massive multiplayer games with a central server)

if the filter is badly written because it's only based on the name of the player obviously it's enough to change it for being unignored.
