Jo Heartsdale Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Now I've been forced to use viewer 3.0, I can't for the life of me find out how to block someone who is nowhere near me, but who keeps sending me weird IMs in Spanish (which I don't understand!). Is it possible, and if so, would some kind soul please tell me how - the knowledge base isn't helping! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I don't use 3, but surely it must have the Mute function. If you're getting IM's in a language you don't speak from someone you don't know you're probably not going to miss anything you needed by muting the person.

Innula Zenovka Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You should be able to click on the name of the spamming person/object in your IM window and that brings up a little context menu with Block as option. Alternatively, you can do it from the People floater: and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 On the chance I may someday decide to join modern Slife and go to a V3 type viewer, I'll take this opportunity for a quick lesson. Is 'Block' the new term for 'Mute'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterCanessa Oh Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Exaclty. Like 'follow' is the new term for "Looking at what you put on your feed, not following you around, Honestly, how could anyone get freaked-out thinking it was creepy to have strangers following them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thank you, and thank you too, 16. I googled it while waiting; it was really lazy of me to ask a question so easily answered. And I see it's been that way since V2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
161488303349 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 if we all used google then we would have nothing to talk about on the forums. so lazy is good (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Heartsdale Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Many thanks for the help - on my way in to sort it out now. Also thanks for the info re 'follow' - I'd been wondering what that was all about, but not wondering so much that I could be bothered looking it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
