Follow, The point they are trying to make is that they gave you the tools to write yahoo! You need to go to the site, or follow the directions on the help site that snuggle gave you. And don’t use the devil against our helpful moderators and creators…. they are here to help us. Sometimes if we don’t get the answer we want, we need to do a little bit of work on our own. Stay COOOL….. don’t get so angry at people…. :rolleyes: We are all friends here.
The point remains…Yahoo! is not doing anything about this. They have not responded, not have they acknowledged my writing them. There is either a problem on their end with the program… or there is a problem on their end with a program that leaves something open for people to hack. Two things are for sure…they NEED to fix it… and WE LOVE YOU YAHOO! ;):)
What’s really freaking me out NOW….is that my friend who was blocked only a day or two ago is now getting booted. And when she’s booted “View my cam” messages are showing up in Spanish and Italian. She chats in Italian room the majority of the time….. could this have something to do with it??? Just a little bit MORE confused by the in’s and out’s of our beloved Yahoo!… What gives??? (By the way….she does not have a cam NOR has she EVER had one!)
I think it’s a virus or trojan or something. Because in addtion to all of this, a bunch of people I know in one chatroom have been locked out of their accounts. Perhaps these demented, sick people with too much time on their hands are accessing accounts this way. I don’t know… but something needs to be done about it and SOON. I have written many a message to Yahoo! Abuse…I am now waiting for something to be done. I would suggest that you not only post here… but write to Yahoo! As the saying goes… the squeaky wheel gets the grease. We just need to make sure the right people hear us squeak… that would be Yahoo! (Though I have to give credit where it’s due…and I’ve had MORE help from the people here than Yahoo! So thanks to you all!)
I think that there is a definite boot going around with ID’s. I have just had this happen to me. I was sent in IM, even though I have them blocked…just not from the same room, and I did not get to see who sent it, b/c I was thrown off of Yahoo! Then I tried to get on again and I was denied, yet I can access my mail with the same nicks. I just wrote Yahoo! Abuse, but I want all of you to know that they are out there. So, Distorter, you may well have been hacked, bombed, booted, etc… by the very people you were trying to get yourself. I wrote Yahoo!, we shall see what comes of THAT.
What color text is she using?? Did you try to highlight to make sure it’s not just that she’s typing in white?? It’s a simple (most likely not so helpful) idea. Also, are you sure your friend is typing to YOU?? Sometimes you see “XXX is typing a message” but XXX is typing a message to someone else. And is this latest version the infamous “beta” version?? That might have something to do with it. If it’s the firewall, maybe she has to configure her messenger as behind a firewall in preferences.
Maybe you should do as the others say….first write and ask what happened (just in case it was JUST Yahoo! being Yahoo!) If they say it was from booting apologize, explain the situation, that it was your first time… (and everyone says nothing can happen your first time! This proves it can;)) and perhaps you can work something out with the company. Also, know with whom you are chatting. It IS really fun to chat with new people from new places over the Internet. But the unfortunate truth is that some of these people are not whom they claim to be, and they NOT friends nor are the friendly (even if they act that way) And as many a rule says, treat people as you would want to be treated… Good Luck getting your ID back. 🙂
IMHO, if you booted someone you SHOULD NOT be allowed back on. It’s just not right. Sorry. It’s just not right to boot people, because a lot of innocent people get booted in the crossfire. But i know that yesterday there were many problems as one of my friends, she does not even know how to boot, was blocked. But, there was also some talk that someone else was blocking her id, is that even possible?? Or was it just Yahoo being Yahoo?
P.S. This has also happened where she logs off (or on) in invisible. It just happens…it’s Yahoo! and we ALL love it!

Thanks for all the help and please feel free to respond to this at my screenname: gaboredman (on yahoo) I will get it faster.
First off…you don ‘t trust her…not completely or you would not be posting this here. (That’s my take on things) Second, Yahoo is odd. It is an imperfect creature like all of us are, it does some things, like log people out much after they’ve gone offline. My OWN sister, the person that shares the most similar DNA to me (besides my other siblings) SHE seemed to have done the SAME thing to me. 😮 So One day on the phone I said “Hey, the strangest thing happened, you are still online but you logged out. She said “Yeah that is strange” During our phone call….she logged out…. BUT THIS WAS BEFORE DSL! EGADS! It was YAHOO!!! IT WAS NOT HER! 😡 OH THE HORROR!
My point: STOP USING ONLINE HABITS AS CERTAINTY THAT SOMEONE IS CHEATING OR LYING. As for the screen names. When you log in…all screen names appear as online unless one configures them not to be online. I’ve even had names that I had long ago erased she me as online on someone else’s friend list…. so really… Yahoo is not the best “spy” tool you can use, maybe you should hire a private eye.
Quote:quote:Originally posted by distorterwhat can i do for my blocked id(s)?
can i use them again?:eek:By whom, how & why were they blocked??? That is some needed info. :confused:
A few things I would suggest:
1) She may be connected but not there and she may be configured to accept all files sent to her.
2) Maybe she is busy without time to talk to you but wanted to see what you were sending her.
3) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, T-R-U-S-T, you need to TRUST her…unless she has given you a conrete reason (i.e. cheated on you and you KNOW it…or given you a reason not to trust her) chances are that she really has not done anything. We all get short on time, and it IS particullarly difficult when the relationship is long distance. But that’s when the trust thing comes in.
Also, Yahoo! is not a stable and realiable creature….it has its quirks (just like we humans do!). It may be best to just have a phone call and speak rationally with your girlfriend. Sometimes, showing mistrust leads to bad things… because one feels that no matter what, the one they love does not trust one anyway. that’s just my advice.
I wish you all the best.:)I think if an invitee, invites another person… there is not a way around it. 🙁 Because, in theory the person WAS invited…just not by YOU. I have had that problem MORE than once. I think that’s one of those things that Yahoo! needs to address.
