All accounts blocked 2 minutes into a chat room

I’ve also experience something like this, however the booting software people use now-a-days is amazingly much more advanced.

Last night, of course I was in an argument with someone in a chat room, and as the case, they were loosing and the decided to boot me. OK, I though and returned, this time ignoring any IM’s from people not on my contact list. Sure enough, Yahoo crashed on me. I return again, this time I am able to click the chat button, choose the location of the room, however trying to join the room is the issue. I wasn’t able to load the chat. I’m not an avid user of Yahoo, but I am also wondering if there is a software that prevents boots.
I have used chat clients in the past, and they don’t work. I’ve had my account “locked” by them, and I just unlock it again, so this leaves me wondering.. is there ANYthing out there to prevent you from being booted? Trillian Pro perhaps?

Interesting. OK, so the only problem here would be the account/room bans. Yahoo! truly need to get their ass crackin.

It will be VERY interesting to see what’s coming. It sounds like it could be a nice, big improvement. Also, the both of you might want to try the Microsoft Anti-spy or CountrSpy….they find more than just spyware…and who knows…I mean.. I’m sure you both did not just accept a file from anyone…but it’s worth a try. I have not been chatting as of late…I just kind of got sick of it…these booters are a HUGE part of it…it just shows the immaturity of the people out there (and it’s not just the teenagers…you’d be surprised at some of the crap adults do!).
Anyway, even though it’s harder to meet people, you might want to just change your security settings to their highest when you chat. One of the biggest problems in a chatroom is that you are having a realtime conversation with some one you may not know well (as many people like to lie online) so you don’t know how they will react to what you say and you cannot see their body language, so you don’t know how seriously they are taking what you are discussing. It makes things less interesting…but sometimes it is best to just stop the conversation when you see it getting out of hand like that. Some people are idiots and boot. That’s something that really won’t change. The same people who pissed you off as kids will continue to piss you off when they are adults. (ahhh life 😉 )

Seems like this is happening to a lot of people including me. Did you have more than one name connected to Yahoo Messenger/Chat at the same time? Trying to figure out what is causing this..

i too have the same problem seems the script kiddies have found another way to lock accounts so as the usual trick of unlocking via e mail reset no longer works ,it amazes me why yahoo don’t employ co admins to police their rooms like paltalk does it works very well in paltalk to rid the program of simple minded idiots who enjoy annoying the good users for nothing more than a few minutes of fun
i’m so sick of these teenage imbeciles and adults too especially these “GROUPS” they make in the fightrooms i guess some never mature enough from their school yard bully days ?
I was using yahlite and these idiots spent over 30 minutes sending me boots etc to get me out of the room when that didn’t work this idiot used his program to lock my acount if their so thin skinned that people get to them enough to lock users accounts then they don’t belong on chat programs
I’ve been on the net for 7 years and yahoo must be the worst ran program i’ve ever used they appear to ignore complains when you e mail there abuse centre ??
its time yahoo cleaned up their act i’m sick to death of these script kiddies and there pathetic b/s a few months back it was the freeze /lagger b/s they took months to fix it i hope they fix this problem quicker ?
