Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: dcabbar (dcabbar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Privacy: Client Side Blocking Initial Comment: I tried the privacy and block options on Linux and Windows for both MSN and ICQ, and they seem to only put user to the block list on the server side (i.e. MSN network). When you put someone on your block list, you appear offline to them. But, they can still send messages to you! I tried blocking a single user, blocking everyone who is not in my contact list (i.e. allow only users on my buddy list), and even further I tried blocking everyone, and in all cases, I can still receive messages... All clients I have used so far, i.e. trillian, has client-side blocking (the messages that blocked users send are dropped), and in a sense that is what the word "block" means. Would it be possible to add this feature? Please check bug# 1003020 for more information... Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

There should be something implemented locally that will block them somehow. Maybe through a auto respone (could be set in preferences or something). However it is done, there should be a way to keep the script kiddies out there from being able to keep IMing you even after you block them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Weiss (czi) Date: 2005-03-02 15:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=970495 *push this up* this request has been for 0.8.x release. now we have 1.1.4 please add this indeed very important feature as soon as possible. from what i know 'bout programming (not much, though, i appreciate your work), it shouldn't be a very big job. it's really annoying not to be able to ignore icq contacts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1009042&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
