How would you like the feature to work?

Calling cards should only be created manually bu the user, never automatically by the system.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

See these two forum threads for the background:
https://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/What-triggers-creation-of-a-calling-card/m-p/3008037
and
https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Inventory/Why-are-my-calling-cards-replacating-in-massive-quanities-no/qaq-p/3008128

The callign card system may have been useful once but today they hardly seem to have any value to the users. The only thing they do it clutter up already overfilled inventories. This has become expecially critical recently since there is at least one bug, possibly more, that creates massive amounts of duplicate calling cards.

I was really going to suggest the whole function to be discontinued but just in case somebody still find them useful, add an option for people to create calling cards manually from a profile window.

ChinRey's suggestion is actually the route Firestorm has taken for its next release.
It has been requested quite a few times from FS users that they want to get rid of all their calling cards because they don't use them & it's just inventory clutter. However since V2, if a user deletes all their friends calling cards, they will just be recreated next login.

Ansariel Hiller Made the following changes for Firestorm _ Firestorm now handles Calling cards in the same way as the V1 viewers.
Ansariel has a CA, so I'll list the commits:
