December 28, 2003 at 12:03 pm #11541DarthivaderMember
I have had the Yaho-Id “Darthivader” since 1997 and used it for almost 5 years or more. For all my Email, chat , Messenger and briefcase
options.A short while back I was in a chat room and one of the participants
began arguing with me.After a while he began booting me and my computer, in a manner that I now understand to be known as “Name-Booting” .He subsequently warned me that I would never be able to CHAT in Yahoo again, and when I restarted my Computer I got over a hundred and fifty IM’s a minute, that my computer kept shutting ๐ฎ
down.I have since reloaded WINDOWS 2000, and am trying to use my Yahoo.ID for CHAT- or Messenger – with No LUCK. [/b] ๐
Though I can use my (Darthivader) Yahoo email account and MY Yahoo account, I cannot Use either Yahoo Messenger or Yahoo Chat.
Can anyone help Help me restore my Account as I dont want to lose it.
Regards
Darthivader.

December 28, 2003 at 1:25 pm #86938snugleupagainstMemberDarth please try using our Search resource on here and view the FAQ’s next time they are very helpful. There have been many postings about this problem you are having. Here is one of the first. https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=876
Answer is simply leave your account alone for at least 48 hours. Do not sign into it at all in that time! Most can then sign in with no problem. Days very for some tho, 1 to 5 day of not signing into Yahoo! with that ID at all should *fix* your problem.*FYI* in the post I sent you to my signifigant other, Jon, had deleted his account as we did not learn this *fix* until too late. He since then has made the account again.
December 28, 2003 at 3:50 pm #86939freddyMemberThere has been some total account deactivation recently, and one can see the threads already active for that, this is when nothing will login, not chat, not email, and sometimes even your profile has been deleted.
The locked for security reasons that just bans you from chat, like snugleupagainst posted, often goes within 48hrs, its safe to login here too to verify you’re not a bot, http://login.yahoo.com/config/login
December 28, 2003 at 4:34 pm #86949DarthivaderMemberFirstly, thank you for trying to Help- guys ! ๐
Snuggleupagainst: I havent signed inot that account through Yahoo Messenger or chat for Months.! ๐ Perhaps that did not come across clearly. I lost usage of it in early August, albeit, only in Messenger and chat. I have since made another account for chat & messenger, but I access mail through my Darthivader@yahoo account. I have had numerous cool-off periods of 48 hours to 200 hours at a time, prior to tryingto sign in again – with little luck.:eek:
Freddy : IM going to give Messy stuff a try, like you said, from that URL. Because My problem does’nt fit into either what snuggleupagainst said nor does it fit into what you said.
My Yahoo Mail , Briefcase and MY Yahoo accounts are fully active. What is not active is my Yahoo Messenger & chat accounts, and I have NOT been impolite or spamming. Its been months since this happened, though all my profiles are still up. I even tried logging in ffrom different computers and countries. :confused: No luck.
I was on the verge of deleting the entire darn account, when I stumbled upon bigblueball forum and IM hopin you guys can help. ๐

Darth that is exactly the same as what I refered you to. Jon and many others could use their Yahoo! mail but not Mess. or Chat. Also as I had said there are Tons of postings about this. If you utilize the Search section on here Im sure many of old posting will be of help.

December 29, 2003 at 12:56 pm #86940hollywoodcamMemberwelll its not to hard to lock an account all you need is the user name and try to login to there account with false passwords for like 8 times or so and yahoo automatically closes there account for 24 hours maybie this is what she/he is doing to you.
December 29, 2003 at 4:17 pm #86945carbonizeMemberIf you goto http://login.yahoo.com/config/login and have no problem logging in then your account has a chat ban which means you cannot use messenger nor any chat services but everything else is fine.

December 30, 2003 at 6:37 pm #86948DarthivaderMemberThanks a lot Riff-Raff. But I went through all the earlier posts and downloaded Messy stuff. However before I tried it out, I downloaded Y!Mlite and tried it.
It allowed me to access chat for a few seconds and then returned the follwing message ” Chat Ban for flooding”. SO I have been banned from Yahoo chat for flooding, which Ive never done in my life.
Anyways now IM trying to rectify all the problems at one go.
wish me luckDecember 30, 2003 at 10:58 pm #86942riff_raff_50076MemberWell Y!mlite is a good chat program cant understand why it said you flooded the room did you sign in under the DHTML setting ? messy stuff is a soild program , Good Luck !! If you have anymore trouble with Y!mlite goto
http://www.chat-help.co.uk/ should find all the info you need there Again good luck ( dont belive you’ll need it but anyway )December 31, 2003 at 4:32 pm #86947DarthivaderMemberHi Riff-Raff. No I didnt flood the room, however, as soon as I logged into Yahoo chat Room, and tried to post a message – Y!MLite sent a message that I was under a chat-ban for flooding.:eek::eek: Which is intself a shock.
I have Messy stuff now, and I have deleted all Yahoo cookies from my PC + also deleted my History under the “Darthivader” Yahoo ID. :)I am goin to run Y! M Lite again after I go through Messy Stuff. Wish Me luck buddy ๐ lol ๐ If I encounter a problem,
then I shall Email you.{Mod Edit – I hope you meant to say you would post here if you encountered more problems. Others will benefit more from your problem only if you share the entire experience here on the Forum, and not through personal emails.}
January 1, 2004 at 12:56 pm #86946DarthivaderMember[:rolleyes: OOops ! Sorry . Mod Edit -Sorry didnt realise my booboo.
I thought My constant postings of my problems in unravelling my gobbled up Yahoo account were becoming a little tiresome for members; Sorry I misunderstood the rules. ๐ฎAnyways, My tuppence worth :- Riffraff, carbonise & snuggle, Messystuff DID NOT / Has not yet done the job for me. I have deleted all traces of my previous ID, (History, cache, archive,cookies) and then loaded the Messy Stuff and then tried to delete offline messages, but it says file not found.
Then I restarted my comp and tried to log into messenger, with the Darthivader ID, ๐ No luck. “Try Again” is what I was told. With Y!MLite I am allowed to Log in, and select a room that I wish to chat in, however, it returns a reply saying – chat denied. ๐ฎ Looks like whoever did this booter on me, did a perfectly thorough job.
I still manage to log into my Darthivader email account as well my Yahoo.
I will keep trying.:D
Hey HAPPY NEW YEAR guys, 2004 is here…:)
January 1, 2004 at 2:36 pm #86950hagMemberThis has also happened to me, eventually I did get my account back. I wrote to yahoo and asked why I couldn’t access my account and they said that I violated the TOS. I sent a reply to them and asked exactly what I had done that violated the policy. I didn’t recieve a reply, but magically my account was again accessible. I don’t know what the fix was, but I’d also like to add that people on my list talked to me when I wasn’t even there, it’s a scary thing ๐
January 1, 2004 at 3:22 pm #86941riff_raff_50076MemberDarth sounds like your chat account name has been used for a booter name write an email to yahoo and tell them about the problem your having see if maybe they will unlock your chat account , BTW messy stuff would only work if you had messanger downloaded on your pc deleteing all yahoo files cleared what messy stuff would have cleaned out and you shouldnt of had to delete .messystuff is a easy way of clearing offlines if you know you are going to get a bootcode as an offline . try this email not sure its it the right place but it is yahoo so its worth a shot [email protected]
