Since they'd both have blocked each other neither would come online for the other to unblock them?
I think the script recognises that they have come online/unblocked you/appeared online, regardless of whether that person is blocked or not. So it will unblock the contact in any case.

You can choose who you want this script NOT to block/unblock in the settings.
For me, everything seems to be working fine, except that the other person doesn't see my custom nickname that I chose just before blocking (in the settings). Is anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Sorry... The above is working. I think I had to close the contacts window for it to work.
I just want to ask... can I use any characters for the "nick before blocking" feature, or do they have to be "legal" characters? I mean, I use a lot of fancy unicode characters in my nickname... and even characters from some asian/middle eastern language (which work fine for my nick in the messenger itself). Could I use these characters in the "nick before blocking" option?? Would the script be able to handle these??? I couldn't test this, since no one is online on my list! Could someone check this please or tell me if I can do this?
Another bug is that when the script blocks those who go offline, then if I sign out out of my messenger and then later I sign back in, then even though those blocked buddies have signed back in, they remain blocked and do not get unblocked by the script. You have to manually unblock them. Not a very good strategy.
