+(This information is from memory and may be wrong.)  Has 2 lists: the allow list and the block list.  They can be activated and deactivated by changing your privacy preference.  The privacy preference has 5 states: allow everyone, allow everyone not on the block list, allow only people on the allow list, allow only people on my buddy list.

-Unknown.
+(This information is from memory and may be wrong.)  Is similar to AIM, except that the 'allow list' behaves like a 'visible' list and the 'block list' behaves like an 'invisible' list.  And similarly to AIM the privacy preference controls which of these lists are active.  In ICQ clients the privacy preference is changed for you automatically when you become invisible/uninvisible.  i.e. when you go invisible your privacy preference is set to "visible only to people on the invisible list" and when you go uninvisible your privacy preference is set to "visible to everyone not on the block list."  In addition to this there is an ignore list, which behaves the same as AIM's block list except that it is always active.
