But what about removing myself from others' lists who I don't want myself on? This doesn't seem different than normally denying people. Also, I have done tests and if you ignore someone, you don't get anymore add requests from them and that also blocks any future requests from that person. So you don't need this tool. Don't take this the wrong way, but can you make tools that are more useful?

Well, first of all. This application was specifically made to Automatically Deny Buddy Requests. If people want to do it manually, then that is their action.

I don't make applications with my own ideas. I gain the ideas from people who enjoy My Software and this application was gained from other peoples ideas, so in My Opinion, this application "is" useful, because people wanted it made for them through their own ideas.

I accept you expressing your opinion but comments like "Don't take this the wrong way, but can you make tools that are more useful?" are the kind of comments you would have a second thought about before expressing, because in my point of view, you cannot judge an applications function/ achievement with your judgement, when you don't know if other people find that application useful or not.

But I'm sure the majority would like a tool that lets them remove themselves from others' lists. I'm not sure that tool is still anywhere to be found according to what I have read in the forum. Maybe I could find it and a good one if I spent an hour googling for it though.

Also, no, in the previous post I didn't second thought (hesitate about posting) what I posted because I am not afraid to say how I feel and I felt it had to be said. I didn't intended to add the "don't take this the wrong way" part at first, but I didn't want to sound too rude, so I added it, but it wasn't enough, huh?

You can remove yourself from anothers person list, but it has to be done by sending a direct raw packet through the current connected thread to the ymsg server.

Just because the "don't take this the wrong way" part was added, it still doesn't mean you weren't rude, it sounded rude to me and that's why I commented on it.

But I'll accept your opinion, again.

How about we just close this subject on this now?

If you don't think the tool is necessary, dont read or download it. Its YOUR choice. geez.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do.

Well, at least it's a useful tool, unlike them pesky invisible checker/spying tools that violates a person's privacy.

Let's not start another flaming war like 3 months ago In my experience, that comment could escalate this thread into a flaming war against me by others commenting on it against me. Stressful. I won't say anything more in this thread to prevent possible flaming or escalation if flaming starts.

You did read this thread and made negative comments on the tool calling it useless. If you have no use for it, keep your comments to yourself instead of making rude remarks on someone's work.
