In all seriousness ....
« on: November 10, 2003, 09:04:30 AM »
I used to use America Online, until i kept getting raped with those bots IMing me with porn sites. So i began to use AOL Instant Messenger and found it of a much lesser hassle. Until recently where i have been getting 10+ IMs a day from these god damn bots again. I mean this crap is getting extremely rediculous. What can i do to stop this from happening ( if anything )?

they typically get your screen name from either a) searching for you via aim, or b) from forums.  

thereofre, don't allow others to search for you via aim, and don't put your aim screen name in forum profiles.  if you do, you risk getting spammed.

Disable people from searching for you, and you will not really have a problem with people spamming you.  Don't go in big chats, and block all the names spamming you is all I can suggest.
