Do you like people trying to add you to MSN without knowing who they are? I am fed up of the amount of people doing this, am I being silly? If someone says can I add you then fine but otherwise NO,
HuddsGirl
I hate it too, which is why I don't have my msn in my profile lol
And if I've placed an ad, I respond to them from a different email account than the one I have registered here. (I have 4 accounts) Sorts that one out quite nicely :lol:

HuddsGirl .. I've taken my msn off my profile now as I got so fed up with it. It makes me really angry ~ the least someone could do is email or pm to say that it's them who have added you.
I only give my msn to people I chat to regularly or who I know pretty well through the forums. If people want to ask me for it and I know them it's pretty rare I don't tell them but I agree it's really annoying otherwise.

It happens to us all the time if they ask then thats ok but most of them are single guys who say that they are a cpl or bi fem
we even have on are msn profile no single guys and on the ad at swingheaven i think they like to try there luck , However saying that we have had just a hand full of cpls do it think it a way of life now and it a shame

your not being silly ......as it has happended us as well......got so fed up with it!
You can allow a request whilst APPEARING to be off line and then check the profile (if there is one) which ensures you dont unwittingly block a request you may have been expecting. Otherwise, YES if it is uninvited or unintroduced we find it difficult to get past the impoliteness shown.

You can only do this if u have the msn 7 beta release
I generally find it quite irritating having to ask a person who they are, and if I know them. Not that many people actually add me unsolicited. I'm the wrong sex for most of the people who would do that :P~

I'm rarely on my msnm now and some people in my address book must wonder who the hell I am cos we haven't spoken over the instant messenger thing for ages! redface
I was thinking of having a clear out but I don't really know! Come to think of it, I don't check my email as often as I should either. :doh:
I'm not good at this keeping in touch lark! lol surprisedops:
never use msm nowadays
for me easier to use for not allowing newbies who i havent invited
and i never tell anyone my user name :twisted:
I'll hold my hands up as guilty as charged on this one. Mostly it's just idle boredom that sees me add someone. I'd say that if you put your contact details on your profile though, then people are always going to add you whether you like it or not. If you don't like it happening then you should remove your sign-in address from the public domain.

Erm ...... see those little boxes at the bottom of this message??? On yours it has one called msnm ...that's how people get your addy ... you can remove this if you go and alter your member options.

on the flip side, i never get people adding me to MSN.....*shrug*
happens to me too, if i haven't pm'd them or invited them i just delete them
the worst one is.. they add you - then have the bloody chea to ask you who YOU are!!!!!

why are you being silly, I have around 50 permently blocked people on my msn, they didnt ask, they just tried. I dont know who they are, and in truth, if they are willing to show me so little respect as to thrust themselves onto me as they have, then I have no wish to know who they are
I have both YIM and MSNM (and a web cam), but don't have them in my profile.
If I get to know someone then I will let them have my YIM or MSNM, and I would have theirs in return.
I get enough junk emails and 'do you want a shag' type pm's without adding YIM and MSNM to the list.
Like others have said remove them out of your profile
Yep, it annoys me too Hudds Girl, I tend to add them and block them straight away until I can figure out who ruddy blime they are confused What a great thing, the block and delete button is biggrin
We constantly have people adding us to their msn without asking. To date the only people we have added to OUR msn, we have asked if ok in the first instance. It's annoying and frankly a little bit rude not too IMHO!!
All it takes is a PM. We just knock back those that add without asking.
LadyFeeBee and the Laird
I would never dream of not asking first before adding someone, even if their msn details are on their profile - I don't take it as an open invitation.

Devil's Advocate here.....
I used to be guilty of adding people to my MSN but I only did it because it's the only way I know of checking out their MSN/ profiles. If you like the look of someone's ad it's sometimes useful to see their profile for more info.
Do I still do it..... nope! Got fed up with people whinging at me for adding them without asking, so now I don't use MSN dunno

Utter Bollox if the ad (like ours ) asks you not to, then you are like any other a person with NO manners and without knowing you have fallen at the first fence. mad

I don't do it from ads, more just profiles in The Cafe/Let's Meet Up. And if someone specifically asks not to, then I won't. Simple really.

Well unless people put their msn addy on their posts (Which they rarely do) the only way you would get them is by viewing their ad via a link to it on their post or by viewing their profile and is still no excuse.
Manners are free pitty more don't pick them up on their way through.

I'm guilty of having done this only a couple of times, & only with two people that I know reasonably well through this site. I would not do it with anyone else..... & I'd be mortified if anyone was offended by it. :shock:
Holds his head in shame. Ok I'm a reforemed character, have done this in the past, not too often. I think some of it is dowwn to curiosity with new peeps to all this like myself. but yes I can imagine that a lady with an attractive pic on here must get pestered by single men adding them a lot.
I'll now go and beat myself with a birch rod, blush,

Oh P.S I don't mind peeps adding me ot icq or aim, keep my msn and secret for pals i know.
Unfortunately as said before, it's a fact of life that if the info is there on your profile or post, some buggers going to use it regardless of your feelings on the issue, grr
