They are not reliable AT ALL!!!!... FFS!!!! GET IT!!!
The MSN Protocol once had a "flaw" that you could "abuse" to get the information if you were blocked or not... it would check there status and the status recived were a number (I don't remember the exact number, but something like this), if the contact was offline you would the code 216 and if they had blocked you you would get the code 215.. but since msn 6.xx this "flaw" have been fixed by MSN, now you get the code 216 for offline no matter if they have blocked you or are truly offline...
I don't know about the method about "faking" an account, how reliable it is, but if the user have the "privacy" setting enabled then you would always see them as offline no matter what.... but I don't know if it works if they have this setting disabled...
.. but this is the only way it MIGHT be reliable... but there is only a VERY limited number of people using this method!!! all on all!!!!... BLOCKCHECKERS DO NOT WORK!!!! Just get it into your head!!!.. Please understand!!!! We don't want to listen to all your "we want a blockchecker" posts!!!
