MSN Annoyance

Hi,

Recently, over the last couple of days, whenever I sign into msn I have 10-20 requests to join contact lists from different people that I don't know and when I click block it says "<address> could not be blocked. Please try again later."

Now I have to click through like 15 windows to try and get round this which is getting very annoying. I'm not sure what the cause is.

The other day when I signed into msn my account was 'locked' because someone had apparently tried to guess my password too many times. I have a @hotmail.co.uk with my first name so I normally get some people randomly adding me but it has never been this bad.

Anyone got any ideas to try and resolve this?

Cheers,

aaazza

Solved problem, was a full block list. Deleted some people from my block list and i could block again. Also found out that you can't delete people from your block list that haven't deleted from their contact list (cheers Microsoft) :mad:

So problem resolved for now, until my block list fills up with a load of people that don't delete me from their contact list.

No it is random people, usually 12/13/14 year olds that assume that their mate has [email protected] and talking to them is normally pointless (always ask me what my second name is to verify me or something and usually have no answer to the simple question - why have you added me?) so I block them straight away. It is just something I get because of my address, my mate has a firstname address @hotmail.co.uk and also gets this.

Just gets annoying sometimes.

EDIT: Obviously I accept people I know or if someone says I added you but I think you blocked me!
