I've noticed that leechers for who I click "Ignore" in the whois window, stop coming back in my queue after I clear their thread. Is the ignore function meant only for incoming messages or does it prevent any connection with the blacklisted users? If the later is true then I think it's a very useful feature and the developers deserve big credit for this.
The ignore only works as long they keep same screen name. since you can change your screen name on winmx quite easily, they probably came back under different name and got in line again.

Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
That's what I assumed too. Still, it is a very useful tool. My guess is that leeches don't sit in front of the comp changing user names all the friggin time. It would be hardly worth the effort don't you agree? In any case it feels good to be able to shut a non sharer out, even for one session.
Well at least it takes care of the mentally challenged leechers who don't think to change their SN. As for the rest, you can either use MXlinx, which I believe has a bit of ways to go before becoming user freindly enough to be worth everyones while, or you can monitor your Queue(which is not realistic) for anyone not sharing files, or anyone who is sharing something rediculous like 1 text file or only a few images.

MXlinx? Haven't heard of it before. What's special about it?
Goto the following thread for info on mxlinx:

MXlinx has many features. It is used to provide hash links I believe(just like sig2dat). It also now has an anti-leech feature in it as well as other features. I can't think of the website off-hand right now.
