 This is NOT a copy of ticket #466, that one speaks only of a single issue
 with invisibility.

 The whole ICQ invisibility settings for pigdin are wrong.

 Pigdin differs people to "blocked" and "unblocked", but this is not enough
 for icq. Now when someone using pigdin sets someone "unblocked", he sees
 you even thought you are in invisible mode

 But ICQ differs people to 3 kind of users

 "regular users"- users that see you when you are online, don't see you
 when you are invisible

 "always visible to users"-users that see you when you are online AND when
 you are invisible ...this is equivalent of "unblocked" in pigdin

 "always invisible to users"- users who don't see you neither when you are
 just offline, NOR when you are invisible ..this is i guess equivalent of
 "blocked" in pigdin

 --
 pigdin simply does not have normal users group. people who would see you
 when you are visible and don't see you when you are invisible. you have to
 MANUALLY remove "Blocked" icon everytime you want to come back from
 "invisible mode" otherwise you won't be receiving ANY messages from them!

 this is absolute mess and unacceptable
