Still an issue here, latest normal release of Empathy on Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit, have to decline requists to chat from spammers every time I log in, from the same accounts. For example, I had to block user "antoginizingalma " on Yahoo! IM untold numbers of times.
Interestingly, I've recently started having problems with the Launcher badges for Empathy not updating, so it always shows "5" even when I've quit Empahy or read all messages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to telepathy-haze in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480605 Title: Repeated subscription request from same user Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Invalid Status in Telepathy Haze: Confirmed Status in “telepathy-haze” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “telepathy-haze” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy Every time I startup empathy, or my Internet connection is restarted I get a "subscription request" from a user.
