Hey,

Everytime I open MSN, this one person on my contact list is always blocked... So I unblock them... And that works until the next time I open MSN, that person is reblocked... What's going on??? I have the newest MSN if that's important at all.

Has someone given that person a bad mark? I can't remember the term used to describe a trouble maker, but it's something like a warning level.

I know that a friend of mine had a warning levied against them by their little brother as a joke, and everytime we communicated, I had to unblock him, until the warning period ran out.

I'm assuming not, but you never know... If she does it was from a practical joke cause she's basically the quietest girl in the world... She wouldn't dare cause a stir... lol... Who knows???

The passage below does not address your problem directly; however, it contains information that may help.

The Link

How can I keep people I don't know from sending me instant messages? People who know your e-mail address can send you messages even if they are not on your contact list or on your Allow List. You can prevent this by adjusting your privacy settings.

To block messages from everyone who is not on your contact list or on your Allow List:In the Messenger main window, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Privacy tab.
Under My Allow List, click All others, and then click Block.
All others moves to your Block list. This forces anyone who wants to send you messages to add you to their own contact list.

To block messages from an individual: Click Block on the toolbar in the Conversation window.
If you are in a conversation with multiple people, click Block and then click the name of the person you want to block.
Notes

The blocked contact does not know he or she has been blocked. You simply appear to be offline to them.
Deleting a blocked person from your contact list does not remove the block.
A person you have blocked cannot contact you directly; however, you might find yourself in a conversation with the blocked person if you are both invited to the conversation by someone else.
