If a not allowed (blocked) nick sends you a private message, you will see a notice about nick, server and the message, but no buffer will be created. Then the nick gets a 'blocked' state, which will prevent you from seeing his queries again till you restart WeeChat, reload the script or you put the nick into the whitelist (if newsbar.pl is running notices will be printed there). In addition the user will be informed about blocking by an auto responce message when he gains the blocked state. So he can ask you in the public channel to allow his private messages.
If you send a private message to a user, his nick will be added to the whitelist.

Arguments:
              on/off: toggle blocking of queries.
              status: show blocking status.
         list [last]: show whitelist, use last to show the nick blocked last.
     add/del [nicks]: add/delete nick(s) to/from whitelist. (if no nick is given, 'add' will use the last blocked one).
                      ('nicks' is a list of nicks seperated by spaces).
              reload: reload whitelist (useful if you changed the file-location i.e. to use a common file).
     blocked [clear]: list blocked nicks. If arg 'clear' is given all blocked nicks will be removed.

Script Options:
 ignore_auto_message: $help_desc{ignore_auto_message}
           whitelist: $help_desc{whitelist}
       block_queries: $help_desc{block_queries}
        auto_message: $help_desc{auto_message}
 auto_message_prefix: $help_desc{auto_message_prefix}
               quiet: $help_desc{quiet}
   show_deny_message: $help_desc{show_deny_message}
           show_hint: $help_desc{show_hint}
      show_nick_only: $help_desc{show_nick_only}
           msgbuffer: $help_desc{msgbuffer}
              logger: $help_desc{logger}
        hotlist_show: $help_desc{hotlist_show}
     open_on_startup: $help_desc{open_on_startup}
      temporary_mode: $help_desc{temporary_mode}

By default all private messages (/query, /msg) from nicks not in the whitelist will be blocked.
 - to allow all private message, $SCRIPT can be disabled, type '/$COMMAND off'.
 - to allow private messages from certain nicks, put them into the whitelist, type '/$COMMAND add nick' (you can use nick-completion).
   if you start a query, the nick will be added as a temporary nick. the nick will be removed when you close query
 - to remove a nick from the whitelist, type '/$COMMAND del nick' (you can use nick-completion).
 - you can add a localvar for a specific server to disable $COMMAND for this server: /buffer set localvar_set_query_blocker 1

NOTE: If you load $SCRIPT the first time, blocking of private messages is disabled, you have to enable blocking, type '/$COMMAND on'.
