I have seen this over the last couple of days myself.
I believe this is caused by some type of race condition on YahVox that comes with Elite.
This has happened to me twice in the past week.
What I noticed is that if you click to ignore someone in YahVox, and a new speaker takes the mic at nearly the same time, the ignores are then broken.
I suspect that YahVox is sending up the wrong session id/user name combiation. Yahoo may be looking for hackers that attempt to play games with mismatched sessions and usernames at which point your ignore capabilities for the room are terminated.
The effect is that you can no longer ignore anyone in that room.
What is interesting is that ignore works fine if you enter another room.
You can attempt to change to a different chat client (Messanger, java, etc), and you will not be able to ignore anyone in the room where the error occurs.
Normal ignore functions seem to return after 24 hours.
As I understand it, “account locking” just forces you to login with a verification process (where they say type in the following characters in graphics).
They are basically just attempting to log in to your account 3 times with a bogus password. This triggers yahoo to force the verification process.
Account locking is only effective against people who have lots of bots and do not want to spend the time logging them all back in.
I would not worry about it.
