I am sick and tired of all these bot IMs in every chat room I enter
How do I get rid of them?
Ytunnel used to do it, but after the upgrade of messenger, ytunnel don’t work no more

For any Linux users out there: PhrozenSmoke’s GYach Enhanced for LINUX

If someone tries to PM you they will get this:

This is PhrozenSmoke’s GYach Enhanced for LINUX: http://phpaint.sourceforge.net/pyvoicechat/ ( What’s linux? http://www.linux.org )

You could just stop accepting PM’s from nonfriends.

There is no real way to stop the bots in chat via yahoo, exluding a third party program. This is just a fact that any chatter on the Yahoo Network will have to deal with. And I don’t see Yahoo changing this anytime in the near future either.
