Declining Messages
The AIM service provides privacy features so you can control who contacts you. If another AIM
user sends you annnoying or offensive messages, you can decline to receive further messages
from that user.
The declined user is prevented from sending you messages during the current session only. The
user will be able to send you messages again the next time you sign on, or if you send the user a
message during the session that you declined them.
Tip:
To permanently block an AIM user from sending you messages, use the
AIM desktop application.
