Memberso far what ive read here sounds only like youve been locked out of your account by a booter…there are many account lockers for download and there are more and more booters using them..why? I dont have the foggiest why someone would stoop to that level.best advice I can give is to use the messenger for private messaging only with your friends and take a different name into a chat client like yahelite or ymlite.seems messenger chat is the worst..wont happen in java chat.anyways .cheers

MemberYahoo! servers now monitor all chat text , and will disconnect an active session and temporarily lock out an account if selected URLS are posted in chat from any source using the YCHT protocol such as JAVA chat.:eek:And also alot of people have been posting url’s in chat room’s
and when people click on them Poof!!!!There Computer crash’s…..So that will have somthing to do with it………….If You Ask Me Dont Post Any Link’s At All…..Just Use Pm(im) For That………….peace:cool:April 30, 2004 at 11:57 am #50164Seekz

MemberLook story short, what is the point to this all, that Yahoo freezes accounts for six hours if that person, well client (bots), post a hyper link into a Yahoo chat room? But sometimes someone might just post a picture of a car, then the bots will post porn site. In this case why doesn’t Yahoo just not allow people to post hyperlinks?

That would take the fun out of chat tho no pron bots to ignore…What would we do? 😀 This is what I do when I have to give a url out in a chat room is like yahoo.com .I think most people are smart enuf to type it in to there browser
edit- leave out the www when sending a urlMay 28, 2004 at 10:40 am #50160blackpager
MemberThese websites gives a cheap web hosting with no restriction, I think this means, booters will have more space for their files.

ParticipantWell the idea of doing this to slow down the bots was a good idea. However the bots still im people and they do still post in the rooms only now the post urls as numbers not as words. I wonder if that keeps them from being banned. I am not going to post one here since it would clearly violate the tos of this forum.
Bots are at their worse when they IM and leave you messages.

Participantthe reason it’s banning for the number urls, is because yahoo made a fix before where you couldn’t post the same url a certain amount of times from the same user in a allowed time.. if you did your account would be locked until you emailed yahoo support and got them to unlock it.. then the spam bots started using multiple links like..
http://38493@bigblueball.com
http://67488@bigblueball.comboth of those links goto bigblueball.com homepage.. and it got past yahoos first try since the link is different with the random numbers.. so then they decided to ban any link that has numbers at the beginning of the url.
i’ve still been found to get banned for posting a few other sites without numbers in them.. and then pasting the same url and not getting banned another time, i’m not sure what they’re doing now.. either way if you get banned all you have to do is email support and ask for your account to be unlocked.

MemberSeems as if it’s not only URL’s anymore. Apparently, if you type something like “boot” you will be banned as well. Suppose you’re talking about an actual boot rather than a stupid booting program!? Oh well, at least they are trying. For a while there the bots were REALLY bad. Like even when you left rooms you’d recieve IM’s from bots 2 or 3 times, because it appears they look at cache of screen names that enter and exit rooms.
