How to Block People on Your IMs & Social Networking Sites

Sometimes we meet people who are either scary or annoying, we would want them to stop stalking us or have any relations with us. Since most of us have instant messengers & social networking sites, there is a way for us not to receive any messages from them and also a way for us to prevent them from seeing our profile at the sites.

The people that we usually want to ignore or block are the ff.:

• Stalkers

• Criminals
• Psycho People
  

So here are the instructions on how to block people:

Yahoo Messenger – Go to preferences -> Privacy -> choose Ignore list -> add the yahoo id of the person you want to block.

MSN Messenger – Go to tools -> options -> Privacy -> add people you want to block.

AIM – Click on the buddy you want to block -> click on buddies on the pull down menu -> select block (buddy’s name) -> click on block

Google Talk – find the name of the person on your contact list -> click on it and a new profile tab will open -> click the “block” button.
