quite a few netizens are accustomed to artificially switch their QQ status as ''off-line'', other synonymous phrases like Diving Or Staying invisible.People doing this are either out of habit to avoid being caught on-line by a certain groups of people.
QQ settings enable a user to DIY his or her qq functions,for instance,showing real on-line status to some guys while deceiving others by...., that is a complicated process.
The purpose of my writting this blog is to unveal some tricks to make you smarter. By applying some tactics,you are not likely to be fooled by your net-friends' tricks.
to testify whether your friend is on-line,you can simply send him or her a picture(any picture) or file. pls note to use the 传送离线文件,thus after the transmission is completed. what remains to do is just waiting. The counterpart will either accept the file or on the contrary,reject it. no matter which instruction applied,you will receive a notice. in this way, according to the notice,you will undertsand when your friend has seen the request for photo,in other words,he or she is definitely on-line by that time. so in the event that the time interval from the moment you finish transmitting the file to the second you receive the QQ notice is within half an hour or so, that indicates your friends' REAL QQ status.
however this method is not necessarily fool-proof. it works in most cases and on a majority of QQ surfers.
I don't chat on qq a lot,but i have come up with this anyway.
