Mass removal of users from lists - possible?

In SoulseekQt on Windows 7, I want to remove a bunch of users from my User List and Unshared List, but I don't see any easy way to do it. One at a time via context menus does not sound like fun. Is there a registry key or config file I can edit?

OK. I submitted a feature
OK. I submitted a feature request to make the Delete key be a shortcut for removing users from the User List, Unshared list, and Ignored list.
That would be pretty handy
That would be pretty handy actually. Hopefully they'd be at least a "are you sure?" with the delete key, to prevent blunders.
Honi soit qui mal y pense ;)
Well I think I can explain why someone would want that. For this is normally a pretty sly pack of users that want that =D
So listen ... They'd be likely to "misuse" current user groups system the following way: they'd "temporarily" add a couple users to userlist (plus optionally user groups too), and one day later, they'd remove them from userlist again.
That way you can keep your upload queue at minimum size (and hence least bandwidth usage), and still ensure that no one would accuse you of sharing nothing.
Since the users do see your shared files as they normally would, HOWEVER they have no idea they'd see fewer or zero files the day after, because you've already removed them again.
I normally call this methodics "alibi sharing". With the user groups system, it was never as easy as it is now.
Come to think of it, maybe I would've better have shut my mouth about it, in order not to give anyone new "ideas" in their sly minds :-O
