Their fake usernnames. Their usually bots. I know in order use Buddy Spy you have to make a ghost name.  Mines always says I'm in idle. You can make them say different thing.

its very simple nothing to do with ip address they use yahoo booters, they have control of about 50 bots and they all send you a message at the same time which yahoo cant handle, and it kicks u offline, best way to stop this is only accept messages from friends you know this can be done via the yahoo messneger settings \nhope this helps.

This happens to me as well, and I hate it because I want to play games, NOT CHAT!\n\nSo whenever I play, I have Yahoo IM open, but remain invisible. \nIn Messenger, click on "Preferences", and select "Privacy". Uncheck the "Allow Yahoo web sites to show when I'm online."

I'm not sure what can be done. I've run into many a troll on the internet, every messageboard has them. I've tried the old reporting routine but inevitably they come back under a different user name. Unless Yahoo starts to police the boards more strictly I don't see anything changing. Best thing to do is ignore and DO NOT reply to their postings. Trolls are posting to get attention and make people angry. Replying to them only exacerbates the situation.

Sounds like somebody is sending you an IM boot.  Normally if you close your IM's (change the settings to accept them only from people on your friends list) the problem will stop.

Typically the person who you are sending messages have blocked all incoming messages so that could be a reason.\n\nSometimes I can see people's messages but they cannot see mine in the chat room. Its called "Lost Cookie Syndrome". All you have to do is logout of Yahoo, re-login and enter the room.\n\nIf the same is happening in the Instant message, then you will have to re-install the messenger.\n\nThe last and final culprit is the Firewall. Do check your firewall administrator if you are in office. If you are using from your PC, then check the Firewall settings of XP.\n\n.:Fishie:.

It appears you are being spammed thru messenger, this is NOT MSN Messenger but a service of Windows.  Turn it off, it is a security risk.  control panel - Administrative tools - services and then disable messenger.  It will not stop any instant messenger program.  Otherwise you are referring to a pop up from you browser in which you need to get a pop up blocker\n\nThat should be worth 10 points!!

Yahoo has been experiencing this problem a lot lately.  This seems to happen to me when I am in chat about every other day. Try refreshing and then going back into the room you were in before.  It helps sometimes.  If not... Most other chatters are going through the same thing.

Try checking to see if you are behind a firewall.  A lot of times that will prevent you from viewing things like profiles and cams.  A firewall views them as popups.  Also, if you have a popup blocker, try turning it off and see what happens.\n\nIf  I knew the platform you were using, like Yahoo Messenger or MSN, I could better answer your question abou tthe chat box options.  For the time being, try uninstalling the chat platform and reinstalling it.

hey.. download chat client from www.gayboi.org it has a setting that let's you block the ads....   My advice though.. gay.com is trash.... I've had nothing but bad luck in that chat room.

bots lurk in chat rooms because the people who run that bot sent it there to try and make them money by tricking people to visit a website and sign up for crap.\n\nBecause some people are stupid and actually go to the website, the bots keep coming. (also because Yahoo is bad at blocking them too.)\n\nIt's up to the person that set up and is running the bot as to which rooms it goes to.

Well said that man... why do they have to butt in? I saw some of the replies to your last question about chat.  If they dont want to chat then why answer?  Mind you, looks like you got a few offers there, any of them come off?\nNow we have lost chat rooms where it was easy to pop in and find someone to talk to, this seems a good place to start a convo, so GOOD LUCK mate

I've been on Yahoo since the 90s.  Before last summer, there were user/private rooms available in chat.  From what I understand, last summer pedophiles were caught in Yahoo chatrooms, in a room that was sponsored by a major soft drink corporation.  User/private rooms were pulled down in 24 hours, and the ability to make private rooms is now restricted.  Plus, as you say, your IP address is collected.  \n\nMy idea is that this is a make-nice token effort to do something, anything, about the problem of online pedophilia.  It's easy to just change Yahoo IDs, or login from another location or even own multiple computers.  However, chat now is only public rooms, although people can still use private/instant messages.  So for better or worse, since pedophiles know the law to protect themselves from it, I'm pretty sure that that particularly evil brand of sickness is still going on, unfortunately.  \n\nSo due to Yahoo's negligence, pedophiles' sickness and their natural predatory natures, the sick, evil people have once again messed up everything for the rest of us.\n\nK, longtime Yahoo user

you can't because the adminstrator is usually the person that kicks you out. This person statred the chatroom and can at his or her discretion, boot you or kick you out, and they don't kick you out for nothing so take caution in what you say while visiting these rooms. Also, you can creat you own room and be your own administrator,but you still have to take caution in what you say or you will be banned from yahoo all together for abuse. Hope this helps.
