RE: [Request] Invisibility
Wouldn't this do the trick?

code:
function OnEvent_ContactSignout(Email)
{
  var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
  var Contact = Contacts.GetContact(Email);
  if (Contact.Blocked == false)
  {
    Contact.Blocked = true;
  }
}

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email)
{
  var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
  var Contact = Contacts.GetContact(Email);
  if (Contact.Blocked)
  {
    Contact.Blocked = false;
  }
}

EDIT: Fixed sloppy coding + tested and works :D

Yes, I think, except for the cases of you signing in and signing out. When you sign out, you probably want to block everyone, and then unblock people who are online when you sign back in. Or something like that at least, so that when you sign in everything is made right.

I imagine the point of this is to stop people 'spying' on you, sitting there in Appear Offline and recording your events. I know people who do that, sometimes I do it myself. But I also know people who wait in Appear Offline until someone comes online who they want to talk to. If I had this script running, I would never get to talk to them.

I don't think it's possibe to block people when signing out, cause the contact list is unavailable when the Signout Event occurs.

EDIT:

It is however possible to block everyone that is offline on signin, then after they come online, they are unblocked...

EDIT2: Added an unblocking routine of blocked persons that are online on signin.

But btw, this will also unblock blocked persons that are blocked for a reason (being annoying whatever)...

So maybe it should save in registry which persons are blocked by the script so that other blocked persons stay blocked??

code:
function OnEvent_ContactSignout(Email)
{
  var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
  var Contact = Contacts.GetContact(Email);
  if (Contact.Blocked == false)
  {
    Contact.Blocked = true;
  }
}

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email)
{
  var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
  var Contact = Contacts.GetContact(Email);
  if (Contact.Blocked)
  {
    Contact.Blocked = false;
  }
}

function OnEvent_SigninReady(Email)
{
  var Contacts = Messenger.MyContacts;
  var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
  for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
  {
    var Contact = e.item();
    if (Contact.Status == 1)
    {
      if (Contact.Blocked == false)
      {
        Contact.Blocked = true;
      }
    }
    else
    {
      if (Contact.Blocked)
      {
        Contact.Blocked = false;
      }
    }
  }
}

I don't know if Microsoft likes it, i personally have 140 users in my list (cleaned it up last week) and it normally takes a while to block or onblock a user... Don't know how long it'll takes for all 140 :P

Imho it's useless, but my opinion is irrelevant to this... So i'll just... :-#

Also another thing about this mechanism, if both contacts have this plugin they will block eachother as soon as one goes offline, and they will never unblock eachother again...

LOL, he's right.

Another thing I've noticed is that this is also buggy if u blocked some1 and want him to stay blocked.

I already fixed that part by saving the script blocked emails in the registry, but that other bug is the most annoying, and renders the script totally useless, cause it will keep blocking the persons that also have this script and it can't unblock them anymore...
