How to stop receiving conferences

[Nikole Messmer]

Hello, Forum of Wisdom! I am annoyed by someone's conference DMs, so I marked my online status invisible to them - typically this works since most people who initiate a conference of their friends generally select the online ones. I still received their conferences. So I unfriended the person but I am STILL somehow being included. It's not the same conference, because I close it, they go offline at some point, as do I, etc...  so it's a fresh one they initiate each time. It's not a group chat, I am not in their group and the title of the DM window says "person name conference". I don't see a way to initiate a conference from calling cards either so I am lost as to how I'm still being included in these. I can't turn off conferences completely, before anyone suggests that, because there are certain ones I do need/want to be included in. Just not this one person's. And they are the only one this is happening with, so I don't understand how it's possible and it's driving me crazy. 

Anyone have thoughts as to how they're doing this??

Firestorm has this fancy thing where people can sort the people around them into contact sets.  So groups of people with the same interests.  Then they can use it to conference call you.

Can you block this person?

You can block all conference calls in Firestorm as outlined in this post:

From.the firestorm wiki...

 

A conference is a private conversation with two or more Residents. It is similar to group chat, but more dynamic, since everyone on your friends list can be invited, as well as everyone where you got a calling card from.

@JUSTUS Palianta I have tried to make contact sets myself and they never seem to stick when I login again so I didn't think of that. This is an interesting theory though. I think I'll need to ask him if that's what he is doing and ask to be removed from it. THANK YOU!

@Krystina Ferraris No I cannot really, since they are a colleague who I will see from time to time. But thank you for the response. 

@Gabriele Graves As stated, I cannot simply turn off all conferences via preferences since I do need to use/receive them from others - just not this one person. But thank you for the response.

@Rowan Amore I have not found any actual way of initiating a conference from calling cards, so the Wiki is either outdated or poorly worded. But thank you for the response.

As was mentioned, contact sets can be made without the person being on your friend list.

If you block the person creating the conferences, you will never be included as far as I know.

@Gabriele Graves also cannot do that, but thank you. I think I have the answer from the first person who responded.

Fair enough, I admit I skim read some of the posts.  I also saw the bit in the OP where you said you unfriended them which usually indicates you don't want any further conversation with them, hence my response.  I missed the bit further down where you explained they were a colleague.

Sorry about that.  Anyway, glad you got an answer you are happy with.

if the call is about nothing what has to do with the job and only with the colleague, it would end very fast for me .. or the job or he/her ...
Talk to your employer or the person involved to make it very clear.
