How do I find out whos buddy list I'm on?

It has come to my attention that you can add a person to your buddie list thru profiles without their permission. What I want to know is how do I find out who has me on their buddy list so I can remove myself. Personally I have a stalker I would like to not know when im on, or at least make it difficult. Is there a site where you can see who has you on their list? If not is there a way to get yahoo to make one or to include notify when added from a profile? Any ideas?

A few of us have been wondering the same thing in some of the other posts from a littlw while ago. So far there is no way that anyone has known to do this. All you can do is wait until someone messages you; then remove yourself from the buddylist (go to www.backdoors.to./yahoo There is a thing called Deny a Buddy there that Snuggle told me about long ago. It works great. The only thing is that sometimes you have to remove and remove and remove... b/c the guys who add you keep adding after you remove them. That's the only way I know; if anyone else knows another way PLEASE share it!

Put a "New webcam. Message me for nakedness fun" status message, or something along those lines, imagination being the key here. IF someone has you on their list, there is a good chance they will message you. Then you'll know and then you can go to backdoor and take your ID off their list. Of course if they really wanted you on the list, chances are they will add you again, so you can try ignore.

awren.. that's a hilarious.....yet ingenious idea. It certainly DOES bring people out of the woodwork.... and it makes your REAL friends PM you and ask if you've lost your mind!

When one use the deny a buddy feature, does it allow other parties affected know that they're being removed on both lists?

But does Yahoo! know/ acknowledge that people can be added without being asked??? However, I do like that suggestion about the status message.... so long as the other people don't know that we can't tell we are on their lists.... thanks for keeping us in touch with Yahoo! You are our quickest link to them it would seem!! I, for one (and I bet not only) really appreciate it!

No it doesn't, which is another reason why its cool. Unless you use the message option, which presumably sends them a message to let the know. I've never sent one, since more often than not it will antagonise them into re-adding you.

Another suggestion is to get a program, like Ytunnel, which will deny any and all PM's, cam invites, or voice invites, from people who are not on YOUR buddy list.
