Nick Removals Only Temporary

Description
Using im.bitlbee.org, for the last few years, "remove nick" only removes the nick for the current session. After disconnecting, then reconnecting to im.bitlbee.org, then doing a "blist all", 95% of the nicks that were removed during the previous session are found to exist again (occasionally, a removal does work, without any apparent pattern). Over time, a buddy list builds up with dozens of "spam" nicks from porn marketing, etc, and they can only be deleted for the current session. I am surprised this hasn't been fixed in several years. I saw someone complaining about this problem with AIM, but for me, it happens with Hotmail/MSN and Yahoo (the contacts that I generally have). Regardless, it's a nice piece of work you all have created, and I am thankful.

Possibly related, I have one persistent "new request" that will not stop - it happens every time I connect to im.bitlbee.org - and whether I answer yes/no or ignore it, it always presents itself whenever I start a new session. It has done this for several (2-3+) years.
<root> yahoo - New request: The user namewithheld@… (im here) +wants to add you to his/her buddy list.
