Ok. So my friend instant messages me. “hi” “hello” “wassup” “working on my dccol project” “blah” “blah blah” ect ect.
Then he notices my buddy icon. He wants to know where I got it. I don’t tell him, and he threatens to warn me. He always does, even though he never actually does it. But still, this dude is wierd and i know he will eventually do it.
Is there a way to prevent him from doing this? I mean, he freaking try’s to warn me for no reason. He doesn’t know about the AIM warning rule, but he does know how to do it. One time I got warned (for calling somebody an “ass”) and everybody avoided me. it sucks. I don’t want this to happen again, so is there a way to prevent him from warning me for no reason, without blocking him?February 5, 2005 at 8:58 pm #113808Jeff HesterKeymasterEveryone avoids you because you were warned? Whenever I am warned (there never is a good reason) I get MORE messages. Everyone want’s to know “who warned you?”
Anyhow, the only way I know of to avoid being warned it to not converse. They can ONLY warn you if you reply to them. Take note, even an away message can be considered a reply.

this is a close friend in RL… like we help wiht homework (or do it for eachother)February 6, 2005 at 12:22 am #113809DavidParticipantWhat do you actually expect any of us to do for you? Either don’t talk to him or deal with his warnings.
February 6, 2005 at 12:29 am #113816ArsenalParticipantWarnings are no big deal, it’s not like AIM looks at Warning reports and deletes your account…Your rate limit just goes up…NO big deal, just deal with the warnings.
February 6, 2005 at 4:01 am #113812colinMemberYour warning level doesn’t matter at all, unless you get to 100%. That is really, really funny that people avoid you because you got warned though. Now that I am thinking about it, I haven’t been warned in months. Us 9th graders are mature!

Yeah we are. :woot:February 6, 2005 at 5:27 pm #113810CronusParticipantJeff’s advice was a little out of date. You can keep away messages up and let them respond, that’s fine. And actually, you can respond to his messages to you. As long as he is the one who starts the conversation, and not you, you should be fine replying.
February 6, 2005 at 5:48 pm #113818ArsenalParticipantReally, I still think if you reply they can warn you. Maybe I’m wrong. I try not to use it. It’s really very immature.
February 7, 2005 at 11:55 am #113811CronusParticipantNo, Arsenal, you really can’t. And yes, I just tested to make sure.
