About Contacts List Clean-up by dfgarcia on 02-04-2010 at 11:39 PM

Hi people.

Well, I'll tell you something i've found out. That feature "Contact List Clean-Up"(which is an improvement of an option from the messenger itself) is a bit incorrect.
The users in whose contact list Plus says we're not, in fact it doesn't mean that we were deleted, but that it was US who added them. That is, people who has the "Yes" beside means that they first added us... that's why i think it's a mistake thinking that the No means we were deleted..... did anyone ever known about that before or isn't it a news?

I'll tell u how i found it out

- I asked my sister to add me. Her name appeared in the list with the "yes".
- I added my cousin. Her name appeared in the list with a "no".
I tested this with other people
My conclusion: If we ADD someone, this will be NO. If we are added by someone, this will be YES!

If possible, I want some opinions about it.

It is worth bearing in mind that at present there are MANY problems with that data due to it failing to sychronise with the Messenger servers and as such the data is NOT reliable and should definitely not be used to accuse someone of deleting you!  If they are able to start a conversation with you (without you having messed them since they signed in) then you ARE on their contact list and at present that is the only reliable indicator.
