    I know you can stop specific people from contacting you in message form or using main feed,
    But how do you stop them harrassing you in chat?

    Certain people have made it very clear through action and omission that we have very little in common, and yet persist to contact me EVERY FRIGGIN TIME IM HERE!!!!

    Anyone?

    Get the same thing, just sound a little deranged - id suggest telling the newcastle are going to win the premiership continually no matter what seductive (i want you to mother me is one of my personal fave's) they say. By about the 14th time you've cut and pasted it they've gone away (or if not you've got the satisfaction of them wasting £50 on a somewhat dodgy betXX

    I got harassed so much that I've turned my availability to invisible. I now contact my friends when I see them, and they know to leave me a message if they'e invisible too. If I'm on, and they're on, we can chat. But it does make it more difficult.

    A 'Chat with friends only' would be more useful.

    I don't want it to be friends only though.
    I just want to be able to select who I don't want to talk to.
    I'm generally happy to talk with anyone until their continual, unsolicited contact borders on harassment,

    I know what you mean, some people just don't know when to quit. I just try to ignore them. Most of the time they'll get the idea, sooner or later!

    I see where you're coming from, something like the Facebook 'block'...? Sometimes I let them wind themselves up before deflating them, other times, I'll just say "not interested" and stop responding.

    Yes I agree about the chat room , it would be useful if the block function also applied to the chat room at the same time . I've been invisible for ages for the same reasons

    Our sharpest dagger is the stiletto - but failing that I always find sarcasm makes them give up harassing us!!!!

    Admin, can this be considered in a patch, or can it be requested before your next update?

    I try not to be rude where possible.
    This particular person wasn't pervy or disrespectful (those types get sent on their way pretty quickly)
    so I dont really want to telly them to do one.
    They CAN be alright to talk to, but not every time I'm here, you get me?

    Started logging in as invisible now.
    Shouldn't have to, but that's what I'm reduced to.

    I know I might be shot down over this, but I can't help but feel a little sorry for the pesterers (is that even a word?). I'm new to being out, and such a dork that I spend all my time worrying if this is a bad idea. I've sent a few emails/messages to T-girls whose pics I've liked, or who have liked one of mine, and then had little short of an anxiety attack in case I've made sort of breach of etiquette and offended them. I know I'm probably stupid for feeling that way, and they've all been super nice about it (and one, the utterly sweet Andrea even tipped me off about this site). However, none of us had a manual for how to deal with our feelings, and I'm guessing the admirers are the same way. As a T-girl whose hidden away all these years, I'm still kinda touched that someone would actually care enough about how I look to want to talk to me. I'm not used to feeling loved/admired/sexy/non-disgusting so a bit of attention is a boost to my (mostly starved) T-girl ego. I understand the more confident and established T-girls finding it annoying, but I still feel thrilled when I get a new follower on Flickr, or someone looks at my pics and doesn't look down on me for wanting to be pretty.
    But heck, that's just me, and I'm a newbie and not too bright, so feel free to ignore my ramblings
