I totally agree on this. I, myself, caught a guy ind his PJ's by requesting him to send webcam.
I hope this is fixed in the future so that Plus! doesn't automatically accept all of those annoying things like audio and video conversations, games etc.
However, it seems that the biggest problem for most of you is your contacts' ability to view your webcam without your acceptance. Until Patchou gets the auto-accept feature 'fixed', the webcam issue can actually be resolved by using one of Messenger's own settings...
Simply enter your MSN Messenger settings and uncheck "Share my webcam capabilities with others".
Don't worry, you'll still be able to have webcam conversations by clicking the button at the top of a conversation. Only difference is that your contacts won't be able to invite you to start sending webcam.
Of course, this won't solve the games and audio auto-accept, but contacts usually don't invite you to that sort of thing anyway (at least mine don't)

Edit: Sorry, I take that back. Unchecking "Share my webcam capabilites..." will NOT ensure your webcam privacy. One of my contacts just succeeded in inviting me to start sending webcam even though I'd unchecked that box, and of course it was auto-accepted by Plus! instantly.
I've now completely disabled AA.
