Allowing unknown users to IM you

farmerbobb86 · Post by **farmerbobb86** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 1:16 pm

Is there a way I can allow only people on my buddy list to IM me? I keep getting those stupid porn IM's and I am tired of them.

Any help will be apreciated.

I believe if you set the privacy settings to "Only allow contacts in my buddy list" in iChat, Adium will respect it, not positive though.

The only problem with that is that I no longer have iChat and i can't get it back.

Hmm, you can set these privacy settings in the official AIM client as well.

You may be able to get iChat back if you have the system install disks your computer came with, and a freeware program called Pacifist.

Alright thanks, what does pacifist do?

I am not totally sure what pacifist does, never had to use it, but i believe it lets you extract things from your software disks.

Here is the article about it:

Just use the offical client, it's much easer. I also think theirs a way to get iChat off the disk without any additional software. I bought pather sepereatly from my computer and on disk three their installers for all the additional software including iChat.

Actually I believe Laura made the jedi adiumy (right?). Way back when, people got mad at me for making an icon out of it because someone else already had.

Forum policy is one-user, one-avatar... it's part of letting people be friendly and themselves 'round here
