How can I block all chat inside Yahoo Mail? "Stupidchatbot5000 has requested to add you to their online list."?

I'm sick of getting random spam bots popping up in my yahoo mail like this. "Stupidchatbot5000 has requested to add you to their online list." I've never used Yahoo Chat and I never will so I just want to turn off the whole thing so that I never get these annoying messages again. How do this?

1. I just have mine set to show me as Offline. I never have liked that thing popping up all the time. Annoying !
2. What you need to do is locate where the chat is in Yahoo! Mail and where the status message is sign out of it which will make you Offline for chat. 1. For Yahoo! Classic Mail chat: it is located in a blue box on the left, labeled “Chat & Mobile Text,” just change your status to Sign out of chat which will make you offline. 2. In the All-New Yahoo! Mail you sign out of chat at the very top of the page to the right of where it says "Hi, your name" You will see a drop down arrow click and choose "Sign out of chat." Your status in for chat in Yahoo! Mail will change to offline and chat will be disabled. http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/cg/mail/cg_chat6.html 3.
