Hello !

I have read all the articles and still do not understand something.

Someone I used to talk a lot with on Gmail is now NOT only offline but the button itself is now gone next to the name.
Name and username are still present…but I tried I would have to re-invite this person again if I wanted to talk like send a message to email etc. Person on Gmail too.

I do not know if that person has blocked and removed me entirely from his contacts.

I did a little experiment with a fictitious name and blocked myself and my name went off…I do not know why his username and contact details are still in my box…but without any small talk thingie AT ALL..nothing ! (not even offline, invisible or anything). Just blank.

hii
the above idea given by sajan works, if you’ll try to send voice mail to the person who has blocked you the call will be disconnected soonly, otherwise in other case voice mail is stored in inbox….i have tried it m having two account and i hv tried on it ….

great dude… it really works… i made a fake account and then blocked myself …if person has blocked you, only one message i.e “Status: Offline” will appear. And if he/she is offline, his/her complete info i.e. his/her full name and photo (if he/she has uploaded any) will appear.

I just checked everything you recommended in pidgin.

I compared informations btw two buddies.

1st was offline in gtalk and pidgin but I could see the name and the picture.
2nd (for whom I assume blocked me) was also offline in both accounts but I could not see the picture.

You’ve mentioned above that if I can not see anything else but x.y@gmail.com of all the informations about a friend in Pidgin, therefore I was blocked by the person. It is interesting that on gmail I can see the picture though this person is constantly “offline”.

ANOTHER thing : I created a fake account on gmail. Then I blocked myself (therefore my true account) from this new fake account.
But when I tried to do vice versa, there was no option to “block this person”.

Does it mean that we can simply check if someone blocked us on gtalk by trying to block them and if there is no option to block them, assume that there is no option exactly because we are already blocked by that person?

Thank you in advance for answers.

[...] Finding out whether someone has blocked you or is offline: Many a times anxiety engulfs our mind when we don’t find some of our friends (specially girl friends ) online for a long period of time. If it is so, the friend might be remaining invisible or offline all the times or he/she must have blocked you. In the above point, we have mentioned about two cool tricks to find whether a friend is really offline or is avoiding you remaining invisible. But what if they would have blocked you? You’ll presume that they are offline but in realty they may not be. In this case, Rakshit will help you on “how to check whether someone has blocked you on gtalk”. [...]

Hi All,

Their is as small correction on my comment earlier. If you see some contacts coming up as “Offline” with no other details like Contact’s name etc. that means YOU ARE BLOCKED by that user.
