O.P. Huh?  BLOCKING CONTACTS
[font=Times New Roman][size=2][color=black][b]
hey there peeps, thankyou in advance for any help you can give me on this subject.
i really need to find out what happenswhen you block someone or if someone blocks you?
would you know? or would it just show as the person being offline all the time if they had blocked you?
if this is the case how will you know if they are genuinely offline or if they have blocked you??

well there are block checkers, to see who is blocking you im not sure I think they are mainly Spyware etc...

dont take my word for it though.

Yes, exactly that.

You won't know, that's the point of it. Although, naturally you might guess you've been blocked if a contact who has regularly been online before, doesn't show up anymore...

Also, if they even have deleted you from their contact list (they don't appear in Options > Privacy > See who has added you to their contact list), it's usually quite safe to assume they've also blocked you.

And any possible block checkers aren't reliable.

There is no 100% method to know if you have been blocked by any contacts. You can try e-mailing the person to ask and such.

Alternatively, you can use a program called NoRooms ListManager

However this program does NOT show if you have been blocked. it merely shows if a contact has deleted you.
