Q: Can I undo warnings
that I've sent to users?
A: You can't undo a warning, but a user's warning level
is not permanent and is eventually reset to zero. Warnings are
also not kept on any kind of permanent record.
Q: What can
I do when a particular user keeps warning me?
A: Don't send any messages to that user. You can only
be warned by someone if you send that user a message.
Q: Why is a user
able to warn me after I've sent the user an Instant
Message, even though I've blocked the user?
A: If you send an Instant Message to another user and
then blocked that user, the user can still warn you one or more
times for messages that you've already sent. (Blocking the other
user prevents both of you from seeing each other in your Buddy
Lists, and it also prevents both of you from sending each other
any more messages.)
Q: How do I keep
from being warned when I set myself as Away? (Windows
only)
A: Go into the Away sheet
in Preferences, and choose the "Insert in personal profile only" option.
This will let other users see your Away message by doing a Get
Info on you, but your Away message will not be sent out when
other users IM you.
Q: Why does
my Buddy's warning level appear differently in the
Instant Message window than in the Buddy List window?
A: Warning levels shown in the Buddy List window are updated
frequently, but when you have an Instant Message window open
with another user, the warning level shown in that Instant Message
window is only updated when the other user sends you more text.
