deleted contact no longer in my allow list or block list :S by blahblah123 on 07-13-2010 at 09:55 PM
Ok so i deleted a contact from my list possibly one week and ( i did not block him) ONLY DELETE. I checked yesterday and this person was on my allow list but obviously just their email was showing up (not customized username)
today i checked and this person is no longer in my allow list OR my Block list I don't understand what happened??
BUT when i click on "see who has added you to their contact list" and I view it...his email is still there??
Is it possible that he deleted me now becaues I deleted him and he is no longer on my allow list?

So when anyone adds you to their contacts, they are added to that list, but that doesn't stop them from deleting you in the future.
Plus! used to have a feature in Contacts List Cleanup which could tell which of the contacts still have you on their list, but this feature is no longer working.

yes I checked again today and YES i looked very carefully lol
I really don't understand because even if he did delete me his email address should still at least appear in my allow list. His address was on my allow list for quite some time, I even did the right click thing to see if the delete option was enable and it was not.
overall very weird situation...about the "view who added you to their contacts" there are people who have disappeared from that list who I know for sure have deleted me..so are you sure it doesn't work?
Very unusual situation though

It's unreliable at the moment. I have people in that list showing as not having me that I'm 100% sure do have me...and yet other recent contacts showing the correct state of affairs. The information in it is not to be trusted.
It's not worth worrying about the "allow" list business. If you don't want to talk to them, then it isn't a problem. If you do want to talk to them and are able to, then it isn't a problem.

ok so as my own personal experiment I deleted a contact from my msn and asked her to delete me as well. Her name does still show up in my allow list except now the "delete" option is enabled. So I checked the "view" option and her email is no longer on that list.
So that may be a more reliable source? Still odd that he is no longer on my allow list...I did not remove him from there LOL actually I had no way of doing so

hahah yes that's true. I just like knowing who's deleted me and who hasn't

At present, the most reliable way of knowing is whether they can start a conversation with you or not....as the only way they can do that is by having you in their contact list 
Also, please don't make consecutive posts without anyone else having replied, this is known as double posting and is against the forum rules. Instead use the 'Edit' button to add to your original post

If you aren't on speaking terms then it doesn't matter if they've deleted you or not

Yes it is possible that you had deleted him from the contact list than there is an acknowledgement to him and it is possible that due to your action he had also delete it.
