Unfortunately, what the Skype Journal isn't telling you is that you can't "block" those unwanted contact requests. You can block chats, and audio, and video, but there is nothing you can to do block the first contact request, or even to stop it from popping up on your screen, complete with whatever picture the sender chooses to include. Since the spammers are continuously creating new Skype accounts to send from, you are subject to a never-ending stream of contact requests - and Skype refuses to even make the minimal changes to let you prevent them from automatically opening in front of whoever happens to be on the computer at the time.

I think you've got a good point here. Bottom line: you can't prevent the pictures and raunchy names from interrupting you.
