ICQ HELP - How Do I Stop All The Spam????
 

Its killin me. I can't take it anymore. I get so many requests and spams its completly out of hand.

Does anyone know of a way to stop all this madness? I have to stay invisible to not get all that crap. As soon as I go to available or NA ... I get hit.

Please advise ....

Stop using ICQ :)

use trillian instead dude

I have it set to ONLY allow people on my contact list to contact me, i haven't had spam in years

Ignore those that do not know any better, you do not need that crappy Trillian.

Just set your options so that you only get messages from those that are authorized. I NEVER get ICQ spam.

Thanks ... .I tried trillion 2 seperate times and it jacked up my computer. I don't really need it either as all I use is ICQ.

I guess I'll hunt through these options and hope to find a solution.

trillian or miranda-im.org

use regular ICQ and you're gonna get nailed with that shite...

.

That works, but limits making new contacts. Of course clicking Decline without a reason 40 times an hour prolly passes over someone trying to contact you for real biz.

Best to set yourself offline I guess. You'll still get the messages from people that want to contact you.

The other Instant Message services suck. Most in adult use ICQ, so your kinda stuck.

See thats what I thought. What a pain.

I don't get people requesting authorization unless they are people that want me for biz, or think I am some long lost friend. I never click decline.

Again, I do not get people requesting authorization just so they can spam me.

I don't know why, but I do and it sucks. Shit happens right?

i can tell you why

dude, hahaha I just turned ICQ on and I had 10 requests all saying "Please add me to your ICQ list" I must get at least 15 a day now.

My ignore list is full :( So I just have to click decline each time now

That would do it

You are just more popular than me . . . . I am not a people person.

this kind of thing goes on all day long on ICQ, lol hell I thought it was just me because I put too much info in my ICQ profile.

Ok ... just deleted my ICQ from there, but I can't imagine that all these requests come from Model Cash forum. I mean, I'm getting crazy amounts of these damn things.

I'm going to sue ICQ for mental damages.

Man, I is driving me nuts. Thats where I'm at ... about 15 - 20 a day. I think someones selling ICQ lists :winkwink:
