Attention #BeaconDB contributors!

Attention #BeaconDB contributors!
#Neostumbler 2.0.0 is out, bringing the option to exclude Wifis based on their name (SSID). This is important to exclude mobile hotspots and other moving wifis, that would mess up results.
Also it allows us to respect the "optout" and "nomap" SSIDs, used to prevent scanning.
BeaconDB has the "Common Network Index", copy the contents of these files into the field in NeoStumbler:

This sticker has been proposed on the beaconDB Matrix channel together with others. Are there ideas to improve it?
