I tried to search the forums in case this has been answered before, but the search function isn't working. I was wondering if there is any way to block certain avs from IM-ing me? eg. if an av is constantly harassing me or spamming me with IMs. You can block people on Yahoo and MSN, but I can't find any blocking function on SL. Seems to me this is something basic that SL would have incorporated, so maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. Thanks for your help!

Right click the av, hit more until yo see mute, and click that. Also you can go into your mute menu and do this by name, but I don't remember how to get to it off the top of my head.

Mute them.
This blocks chat as well as IMs.

I'm not sure, but I think you can mute them - This may only affect your normal speech though.
If they are harassing you, then you can send an Abuse Report.

Use the People tab of Search to find the user's profile, and look for a "Mute" button.

Everyone replies to the same topic at the same time - It's really annoying.
But there we go, I've learnt something new too - I didn't know it blocked them from IMing you too, however it is logical that it does this.

From: Quaintly Questi Yay! Thank you so much, everyone! This has been such a great great help Thanks Okiphia for the step-by-step instructions. I wouldn't have known how to do it or find it otherwise, lol. ^_^ Later someone posted that its also in the people search.. I couldn't remember if it was. So for that just search the people tab for the offender, and apparently there is a button =P
