Can you tell if someone has blocked you on msn messenger?

Question

Is there any way of finding out if someone has blocked you? thanks

Answer 1

Do what a girl i was trying to ignore did when i blocked her. (but no they don't know there blocked) create a new fictitious contact hopefully they except not knowing who you really are and then you've tricked them so you can find out whats happened.

Answer 2

BEFORE READING THIS: WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE BLOCKCHECKER. IT IS A FORM OF A VIRUS AND WILL RUIN YOUR COMPUTER

Anyway... This is probably the most Frequently Asked Question: "Can you see who has blocked you on MSN Messenger?". My two cents: don't get them to block you in the first place ;)

Anyway, there used to be several techniques you could deploy to find out if you're being blocked or not. Some required MacGuyver techniques, others were as simple as a mouse-click. The bottom-line, however, is that Microsoft fixed a privacy bug (in an effort to outsmart Instant Messaging spam or SPIM) and now there's NO FOOL PROOF METHOD anymore to find out who blocked you on MSN Messenger.

NO single MSN block checker out there can make a distinction between a contact that has blocked you or is just simply offline.

Moreover, we STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST using online MSN block checkers for Messenger because we've seen many of them collecting e-mail addresses for SPAM or worse. Some even auto-install worms that spread to all your contacts.

(If you're reading this and already installed the infamous block-checker, run our Block-Checker Virus Scanner ASAP.)

The only and most efficient way to find out someone's blocking you is through social engineering: find a mutual contact (a friend, collegue or family member on both your contact list and the suspected blocker's) and find out (as subtle as possible) if he or she is online or not.

For archiving reasons, here are the retired techniques for finding out who blocked you... Again, THESE BLOCKCHECKER METHODS DO NOT WORK ANYMORE.

#1. Triople, the MSN Block Checker

Triople is a script by Daniel and UnderDOC that checks if a specific MSN Messenger user is online or offline. It does not return all the users blocking the entered account. One of its strengths (in comparison to any other block checker) is that Triople can bypass MSN Messenger's Privacy setting to block 'all other users'.

#2. The Alien Passport Technique

No shocker, this do-it-yourself one, as most of you will already have thought about this before, but here we go:

1) Create a new Hotmail Passport with a user name that has no relation to you whatsoever (tip: use a foreign name from the other gender).

2) Download Mess Patch from Mess.be for your version of MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger and apply polygamy .

3) Start a second Messenger client after applying the patch and log-in using your fresh and clean MSN Passport.

4) Choose "Send an instant message" from the Actions (or Extra) menu and instead of selecting somebody from your Contact List (which should be blank with your new account), fill in the email address of the person you suspect of blocking you.

5) Send him a message like: "Hi, are you the person who mailed me earlier about my site?" or something completely else (whatever might get him/her to react).

6) If this person replies while being offline on your other account... somebody doesn't really like you ;)

NOTE: This technique fails when the suspected blocker has chosen the default privacy setting to "Block All Others" (= users not added to the contact list).

#3 The IP-Scan Method

1) Find the IP of the suspected blocker
2) Scan the IP for the MSN PORT (1863)
3) If there's none, the person is disconnected from the Internet.

Answer 3

Yes there is away with out downloading a thing. Go to msn messenger and go to file/tool/options/privacy/ then it will give you a list of the names on your list under that it will say view click it and it will show you who's list you are on and who has blocked you. Good luck

Answer 4

No, not as far as I can tell. I have blocked several people on MSN, but had them on Yahoo also, and they have never said anything about me having them blocked on MSN.

Answer 6

Im afraid the protocol is designed so that the blocking is entirely passive, there is no way to probe whether someone has blocked you. Sorry. web absed block checkers dont work, and often hide on malicious websites too. think smiley central + spyware.

Answer 7

Make another screen name and see if it says they are on line (when you are blocked it just looks like they are offline) or ask a friend to check for you
(this is only if you feel like playing childish games)

Answer 8

i do no longer use MSN i take advantage of objective yet there is an option to sign in invisible. you are able to allways seem offline to everybody or to particular human beings and that they in no way comprehend the type. you will possibly verify your account settings to confirm if thats an option for MSN.

Answer 9

No....only sign is if you stop receiving communication from them, like they don't respond to your messages. Even if they deleted you, they still show on your messenger list until you delete them from yours. You can even see that they are online but your messages won't go through if you are blocked.
