Anyone know how to keep spammers off my ICQ?

Absolutey true...they have to send you an authorization request first...then after you approve...they're on your list

Also, if you set it up this way...you'll probably have to block the spammers who already have hold of you. When I looked at my setup earlier...noticed that I'd blocked about 100 senders because they had my number before I made the changes. And yes, I was getting spammed to death! It was on advice of another webmaster that I changed to the setup I have now...and it works perfectly. Don't think I've seen a spam in over a year on ICQ
