Hi,

I am using the current beta version of MSN Messenger. I got hit by a couple
of "spammer" type of contacts.

For example, one idiot with the address of humpedjerk@hotmail.com wanted me
to accept him (assuming a male) as a contact. I declined his invitation.

Now his address is in my "block list". How do I get rid of or simply delete
idiots like this?

I have checked "Only people on my Allow List can see my status and see me
messages," so I really don't need to block this idiot. But I would like to
keep my "allow" and "block" lists clean and uncluttered. Unfortunately, I
have three of these idiots who are cluttering up my block list.

I tried right mouse clicking and trying the "delete" command, but it is
already "grayed out."

Does anyone know how I can remove people like humpedjerk@hotmail.com and
husenaswat69@hotmail.com?

I have absolutely no idea who they are and would certainly like to remove
them. I temporarily allowed husen as a contact as a curiousity. I was sent
a bunch of links, which I did not follow. Asshats.

Any advice on how to clean up my block list would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice is MSN allowed us to pull our addresses away from those we
don't like. I suspect these addresses are temporary addresses used for
spamming or something.

The 'delete' button is not grayed out in my messenger - but I am using
the BETA version (v7.0.0425). I suggest you download that if your
delete button isnt there.

Hi Casper,

This has nothing to do with it.

Greetings Harry,

You cannot remove this contact unless they remove you; after they remove you, only then will
the Delete option become available.
