| Report user for spam/abuse/?? | Slayer3915 | 8/4/12 3:01 PM | I have a very particular issue. Lately, I've been getting a lot of new contact notifications for some reason. As obnoxious as YouTube is for not providing a way to prevent contacts altogether for people uninterested people (such as myself), I normal |

| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | DoppelFaulenzer | 8/4/12 6:11 PM | Hello! Anyone can add you to their contacts. As long as you do not accept this contact he remains useless in the address book. Change your privacy setting. Search and contacts Allow only my contacts to send me messages and share videos. |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | Slayer3915 | 8/4/12 7:54 PM | I thought as much. Thanks. |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | peneraserlove | 8/5/12 2:43 PM | You may be able to go to the person's profile and report them there, or if they send you repeat messages, do it through the message box. A lot of people find it annoying, but for aspiring Partners, they don't really care - they just want to get thei |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | anmoose | 8/5/12 2:51 PM | Sending three contact requests is not spamming, it's not abusing anything, and it's barely annoying enough to bother with. When I get a request from someone I don't wish to connect with, I ignore it. If I really don't want to be bothered, I'll block |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | Slayer3915 | 8/5/12 6:40 PM | The part that bothered me was the ignoring of my message asking the guy who he was but also to stop. Metaphorically speaking, he's behaved like the solicitor who after being asked to leave and not return, does so immediately after you shut the door. |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | JDoors | 8/5/12 7:12 PM | I don't like the random contacts either, I mean, what the heck are you doing that you're adding names you don't know? But it's meaningless. Tag it however you like and move on. They do it again, tag it and move on. Whatever's wrong with them, don't l |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | anmoose | 8/5/12 7:16 PM | It's called trolling. It's been part of Internet life since the 90s. He got you riled up, whether he intended to or not, and you were now entertaining him, e.g. "feeding the troll," so he did it again. It's entirely likely that if you'd simply ignore |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | LetMeHelpYou | 8/5/12 7:20 PM | AnnaMoose is correct. If you can't take the heat of the internet, then just close your account and leave. Simple as that. And of course, if you choose to stay, then accept the fact you're going to come across annoying people. and you'll have to deal |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | Slayer3915 | 8/5/12 9:04 PM | Doppel already answered my question, why do you still have more to say, Moose? Get over the fact that I don't agree with your view and that no matter what you say, I'm not going to. But, I'll bite. Taken from the "Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged D |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | Slayer3915 | 8/5/12 9:06 PM | What does this have to do with my original question? I explained my situation only to expedite the process of getting an answer, which Doppel has thankfully provided. There is no need to try to defend other people here, this isn't a debate forum. P |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | anmoose | 8/5/12 10:54 PM | Perhaps I should rephrase that with an 'expanded' meaning. You're not "challenging trolls," you're trolling. Have a lovely day. |
| Re: Report user for spam/abuse/?? | Slayer3915 | 8/6/12 4:07 AM | I don't appreciate the passive-aggressive tone, nor do I appreciate the constant degrading attitude towards me. Would you mind you mind giving an answer, now? I was not being facetious when I asked you for your thoughts on how to improve the general |
