In the case you wish to delete someone from your block list which is
greyed out. What happens if you add contact then delete it that way?

Hi Taylor,

The contact will still be on the allow/blocked list and grayed out.

Hi Jonathon,

What I did was added the contact I had blocked (stranger) the person
name appeared in my contact which had a circle with a line through it.
Then I deleted the contact. It removed the contact completely, at
least it appears to.

Hi Jonathan,

Why such a stranglehold on removing people from the Messenger Allow/Block
lists? Is there any plan by Microsoft to change this policy? I should not
need to contact someone I do not know (stranger) or have to wait for someone
to remove me from their main contacts list. I am currently using Messenger
7.5. Seems like this has been a problem for many for some time now. I
currently have 2 addresses in my block list that I would like to be gone. All
I really want there is "All others".

Just curious...it actually is quite annoying not being able to do this.

Hi,

There are no plans to change this "policy", it's a fundamental design feature (or flaw to
some).
