AIM ABUSE: Ever Experienced It?

yea ive had conflicts by way of AIM and Liza is right -- best just block them once and for all but then again some ppl would choose to go by way of emails instead of IMs and that does create more further conflicts so i tend to just make my statement clear to them and leave it at that and ignore any further emails that might be coming in or block them either way works

some ppl would insist on continuing the argument in any form of communication ie: emails, IMs, PMs, whatever -- i find that pretty juvenile like Liza has said -- i would have asked them to stop emailing, IMing or PMing me cuz ive already made my statement and i figure the discussion to be over but its not and i go :wtf: still dwelling qq good grief :roll:

Banjo -- i uddy how u feel and what u are going thru -- every time i get an IM from someone i dont know i tend to not accept their IMs cuz u never know who it might be even if it might be a long time friend who has changed their SN and not notify u ahead of time -- 1 friend is FAMOUS for adding so many AIM sn's i tend to accept those cuz shes pretty predictable on what AIM sn's she would create -- yea shes a member here on AD :lol:

Boy, I'm glad I have Trillian! I may not block people, but I'm always away... 24/7. I can still chat and be away at the same time. That way, I can chat to anyone I want and if someone IMs me that I don't want to talk to, I just don't reply. :thumb:

LOL!! I think I know who. I feel sorry for them, too. :-X

I also had a ton of people IM me out of the blue because I am well-known for my AIM expressions on another site. Some of them expect me to be great friends with them even though I never knew or met them at all! :ugh: I'd ignore or block most of them, then they'd sign on a different screenname and cuss at me. All I could do is laugh, click on their warning button, get more curses from them, laugh again and press the warning button some more until I hit the maximum warning allowed. Then, the block button is more satisfying to press. I don't get offended by those kind of IMs easily.

For you, it's not because I'm ignoring you... it's because I'm not really there. I do answer all of my AIMs anyway. :thumb:
 
It happened to me a couple of times.....And I do know who it is....for now on I just simple blocked that person once I notice that sn!

I don't play childlish games...If they want to do that then go play with their gameboys!...
 
I have had people IM me, trying to get me to visit a porn site or something to that extent. I always cancel out the IM immediately afterwards. I don't have any interest in internet porn, nor in the people who take pleasure in spreading the word/links. It's stupid.

Never really had any problems after I "ignored" someone's unwanted IM...but if it becomes an issue, I simply block them. It's only a click of the mouse...and if it means that I don't have to worry about them anymore then it's well worth it. They're welcome to go ahead and try with another screen name, because I can block them quicker than they can make them. Soon enough, they'll lose interest in me and go bother someone else, or like ^Angel^ suggested, go play with age and mental-appropriate toys. :)

it's better to have two screen names. One for open to everybody and one for trust only. :cool:

Hi...hate to pop your bubble, but that won't always help because the AIM sn's I used -- 2 were closed (hidden) and one visible -- all 3 were attacked by that person: Kid Major and Hiltershackers.
Just last night, my AIM account apparently got hacked into because AIM notified me of being logged into my accounts from 2 different LOCATIONS. So, I had to change my passwords on all of them.

Nup -- just today, I saw Kid Major log onto AIM then log back off -- he logs on and off and on and off...etc.
 
I was by someone on the evil website deaf mad ness........evil......anyways, they proceeded to tel people that they were me and people didn tbelieve it and told me about it.......i was pissed off, me ad my friends put that person on block and that was it!
 
Thank you for interesting tips...

I'm learning how to use AIM for a first time with right AIM with the help from my friend yesterday. Phew... I did downloaded with wrong AIM (AIM express) at few weeks ago to mess everything in my computer... Awful... :shock:
 
Wowsee..thats terrible! Im glad really that i dont use IM with anybody except my son and family members only. I see that you all have problems with some idiots so maybe its better i dont do it! heh!.......
 
I'd rather trust person and acceptable welcome on my msn only.. I do not trust anyone who is foolish or attacking or stalking or else.. Isn't my type, I'd rather peace and mind netural as long enjoy to chatt'n w/buddies. Very healthier more better ways.
If you feel not comfy, Do you know where is "block sn" that not easy.. Really fact easy ways to use block sn or remove that person unwanted to chat no longer.
Few of peepz who has no contact w/me, and had to remove my list becuse "not showing friendship to me". Addy me for no reason as lurking to curiouis chat w/me, Really disagree w/this! I have aim/msn but have not set yahoo yet..
 
If you are tired of punks who doesn't have a life, and wont stop insulting you and shit like that...then it's just best to change your opitons to allow ONLY the users that appear on your buddy list to contact you while the others who aren't on your list can not contact you at all. ;)

You can also do what I do! Block your buddy list to ONLY those people who you KNOW. This way, the stupid people doing the IMing can't get to you no matter what user name they are on. It's a pain to construct your BL this way, but well worth it. I've also been a "victim" of people who have too much time on their hands, and nothing better to do than harrass me, and it's such a pain to deal with. Of course, I'm moody, so there's also the chance someone might catch one of my "alters", and that might prove quite fun, so they run that risk! LOL :evil: (No people... I DON'T REALLY have MPD, I promise lol) hahaha

I know that there are some members who do AIM abuse as well. If one member is pissed off at another member, he/she will IM that member and harass him/her. When asked to be left alone and blocked, that member will then harass again using a different screen name. I've heard of cases where members will use up to 10 different AIM screen name to harass that member. These kind of members do not belong here. If they cannot be friendly with another member, they shouldn't be here... the place where we try to be friends. :nono:
