Hello,

Is there a script that automatically adds the new contacts that add me to their MSN.

It is anoying when a pop up comes asking if I want to approve the new contact and then another click to close the window saying the person was sucessfully added.

Thanks

With the amount of spambots[?] going around, I wouldn't recommend trying to auto-accept new contacts.

It only takes 2 seconds to accept/decline and close the box. It's there for your safety.

But as far as I'm aware, there isn't anything which does that.

ok. thank you chris. At least there is a way to them to not pop up when you are doing something else?

No problem. If your status is set to busy they probably won't pop-up, but haven't tested for myself.

There isn't something to auto-accept because the very same effect can be achieved by turning this option off:
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages
And then you can disable:
    Alert me when other people add me to their contact list.


This makes that anybody can add you and start talking to you without you receiving a request popup.
Which has the same effect as auto-accepting everything.

However, as Chris4 rightfully noted: This is a security risk!
You really should not be auto-accepting contacts these days!
So, I strongly encourage to keep that option on and to manually click on the popups.

They are indeed there for your own privacy and safety.
And normally you shouldn't be recieving constant requests from new contacts either.
If you do, they are probably spambots anyways.

I already allowed everybody out of my list to talk to me, but when someone add me it still pop up the window I dont know why.
