YahELite Auto Ignore: Poof they are gone!
There are several causes for chatters to hop into your ignore bin as they enter the room.
- It could be their name is matching one of your WildCard Parameters
- YahELite has an autoignore "Illegal Names" feature. If you have this option enabled, YahELite will auto ignore any chatters using names containing characters Yahoo no longer allows in names. Click the menu item Options then Spam Filters to toggle the feature on and off.
- If a chatter enters the room and immediately posts a link, one can be pretty sure the chatter is a bot. YahELite will autoignore chatters if they post a URL immediately after entering the room. You can adjust the amount of time a chatter using the Spam Filter settings. To do that, in YahELite's menu, click Option > Spam Filters.
To UNIGNORE a Chatter
- Find the chatter you want to pardon in the list of your ignored names and click the button Stop Ignoring this User
- Click the Remove All button if you want to pardon all the users in your iggy list.
- If the chatter is in the room, but is in your ignore bin, double click their name to unignore them
Suggestions:
- If a chatter keeps hopping back into your bin check to see if their name matches a spam filter or wildcard ignore parameters.
- To prevent a chatter from being accidently ignored, add them as a temporary or local friend by right clicking their name in the user list and choosing Buddy Functions from the list. In the list of options that open, choose the type of list to add them to.
