Default avoid bieng added to multichat

Sure you can have your contacts ask you before hand before being added, but
that is not a fix on the client itself's end. Not all people are going to
ask you to be added to multi-chat conversations, it would be nice. I'm not
saying I don't disagree with a fix to this, I'm simply stating that there is
no fix to this at the moment (Something on the client itself's end).

Actually I was put in a very uncomfortable situation by being added to a
multi chat without being asked first.

That's one of the reasons. As for security, I meant it in a broader view.
If someone who thinks that you are offline, can obtain the information that
indeed
you are online, then that means he could take advantage of that in some way.
The scenarios are thousands. I wont even get into explaining the
ramifications.

When you block you mean you have blocked. Period.

The trick isn't to be boring, it's to be soo obnoxious, that people don't
want to talk to you.

I guess that's what you get for having idiots on your contact list that insist on having
large conversations, just be a boring person and you don't get added
