It's something I never thought about. Wish I had belonged to this group years ago b/c there's probably a lot of people out there now that I've deleted who still see me online and have passed me on to others to create a spam menagerie. I guess the safest way to be online is to always sign in as invisible and stay there. I have x girlfriends who I've deleted who I haven't realized may be causing me problems. --- On Tue, 3/9/10, LNVTM1 - Lenny Vasbinder <lnv...@gmail. com> wrote: From: LNVTM1 - Lenny Vasbinder <lnv...@gmail. com> Subject: RE: [Y!M] Question To: Yahoo_Messenger@ yahoogroups. com Date: Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 9:15 AM No it does not delete you from their list... but there are steps you can take to minimize IM's from them. Here is how I do it to minimize IM's. Prior to deleting them (but this can also be done after you've deleted them with different instructions below), right click on their name and choose Stealth Settings and change them so that you are Invisible to them permanently. .. although sometimes this setting will change back to Visible for some reason. It's a YM glitch on Yahoo servers, not on your computer so there's not much you can do about it except re-mark yourself as Invisible again. Once you are changed to Invisible, then you can delete them and also delete them from your YM address book as well, if you like. The next time they IM you, they will show up as someone NOT on your friends list and then you can click the link to mark them as spam and then you should no longer get IM's from them any longer. Each time you do get an IM from them, you can look at the Actions Menu, Stealth Settings to make sure you are still showing up as Invisible to them but if it has changed, then change it back to Invisible again and then mark them as spam again. However, if you go to chat rooms on a regular basis and mark lots of bots as spam, your Ignore List will fill up and then you have to empty it on a regular basis so that you Ignore new spam-bots or others again. To do this, click on the Main Messenger Menu, choose Preferences, then Ignore List. Highlight all of the names you wish to remove from the Ignore List (I just highlight them all) and Remove them, then choose Apply and close the Ignore List and Preference windows until next time it's needed. After a while, the person will quit IM'ing you as long as you DO NOT reply to them. Now.. your next thing that you might want to do is change a setting that lets Yahoo show you up as online in all of your group's or other Yahoo "services". To do this, go back to the Main Messenger Menu, choose Preferences again and then the Privacy section and UN-CHECK the "Allow Yahoo web sites to show when I am online" and this *should* change you to offline in all of your groups so that someone in one of your groups that you might not want IM's from, will not be able to see you as online in the group messages or members list section. Now, all this said, if they are persistent, they can still send you IM's even if you are not showing up as online anywhere and then it's just a matter of marking yourself as Invisible again, reporting them as spam again, blocking them again and hopefully they'll give up after a while.
