The thing this script does is as soon as you're added, it will present you with the choice to exit the group convo again or leave it. It can not and thus will not "decline" a group conversation as you're already in it.
So, although it might remove the annoyance of a new window opening, it will not remove the massive privacy issue involved in this.
The privacy issue at stake here is that whenever you are invited, and thus automatically added, to a group convo, everybody in the group convo can see your Windows Live Id. Even those who are not on your contact list and are complete strangers to you.
I would encourage everybody to report this massive privacy issue so that there is something done to it.
It's been an issue every since I can remember. Even before MSN 7.
I don't understand why something hasn't been done about it by MS. I'm sure they've known about this issue since MSN has had the option to create chats with multiple people.
I really don't get why they haven't added the feature so it prompts you BEFORE you're added and add an option to auto accept/decline the invites if you want.
It's been a problem for at
least 7-ish years. It's about time they do something about it. I don't remember if Windows Messenger/the first MSN's had multichats or how they worked. From what I've seen though it's no better in WLM 9 either.
