I use pidgin with aim and I am being harassed by a user. I know how to block him but he keeps on using different screen names to harass me. How do I report this to AIM. Their website was not helpful at all.
The procedure is given in <http://www.aim.com/help_faq/starting_out/getstarted.adp#thirteen>. It involves using the standard client.
I would advise using the standard client in this case, as you may get rejected out of hand by their first line support people, if they think you are using a non-standard client, even though the issue has nothing to do with the client. The aim.com doesn't have an official abuse contact, but emailing abuse@<some relevant domain name> may also get to the right people. (Include details of times, timezones, screen names, etc.)
Unfortuantely, blocking a persistent IM abuser depends on AIMs ability to identify the underlying abuser. This may involve cooperation from their ISP, and a really determined abuser may continually change ISPs.
Ultimately, though, this is an issue between you and AIM and not related to Pidgin.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
