Would it be possible to make a script that could send someone a warning message if they were toast spamming u (repeatedly changing status), and then block them if they continued.  I think it would be useful because of the scripts out there that are designed to annoy people by spamming them, and it would be nice to have a defence against them.  I'm sure it must be possible, but i can't write script, so can someone else have a go?

Thanks,
Dave

PS: I cant find a script that does it, but if there is one, please post a link to it.

I was thinking of making a script that would nudge spam someone who toast spammed me. I think it'd be a treat.

If I remember rightly it's Hopper that does this isn't it, maybe it would be better if there was a feature that was in that limited it. Mnjul?

Not really the solution is it.

I made a script that kinda does this, wasn't going to release it, but if you like I can post it here so you can use it.

This doesn't warn/block or anything, it simply takes over the toast function from msn. When someone goes offline, it remembers the e-mailadress for 10 seconds, if they come online within these 10 seconds no toast is shown.

Also msgplus! toasts don't have that flashy gradient or display picture. Let me know.

Does it do the same if the switch between busy and online as well/can it be edited to do this?

Right now it only shows a toast when somone comes online, but you could adapt it to do that too.

you say i could - bear in mind i hae no experience of programming other than copying other people's programs into visual basic.  could you do it for me please?

sorry, you have to try it yourself.

code:

var a = new Array();

But the Event to use is OnEvent_ContactStatusChange(
    [string] Email,
    [enum] NewStatus
);

right... thanks very much, i'll give it a go

edit: does this code go instead of the OnEvent initialise stuff that's already in the script when you make a new one on MP!L or doesn it go between the OnEvent initialise and OnEvent unitialise?

When you create a new one, delete everything inside and put this in it.
