Do you accept random friend requests?

  • And by that, I mean requests sent by a member you've got no real memories of speaking to. Why or why not?!

  • No. I have limited my friend list to 20 people so unless the person who requests my friendship is someone worthy in my opinion, they won't replace my existing 20.

  • No.
    I may be new here, but I already had 3 random friend requests here and denied them all, so I guess that I can say that xD

    If I add someone as a friend, I have to talk with them before.. or some other good reason for It (like when AlexOzzyCake adopted me here :3).

    Yeah, sure. Why not? Take a risk to meet people! And besides, it's only a list. I don't really care who is on it anyway. But if it's on something more personal, like say FB, then yeah, I think I want to know who it is first. Safety first!

    Can't there be more worthy people than only 20?

    Anyhow, I don't, and I also clean it up like every once in a month, I don't see a point of having people on it who I never talk to or only talked to once, so yea. Not that it's that big of a deal, but I just don't like clutter.

    I use my friends list to answer things like OVP questions that are member-related and such, so I like to keep it to people I know. Except for staff because as coworkers even if we don't talk I have no problem being friends with them haha.

  • Not anymore. I used to, but then I would never talk to or see them ever again, so there's really no point.

  • I do... I accept all friend requests, but I never give them out. I tend to massage whoever friend requests me afterwards.

    sometimes. if i'm in a bad mood, i won't accept random friend adds. if i'm in an okay mood, it depends if i like the person who added me or not, and if i'm in a great mood, i accept pretty much everyone.

  • I have yet to deny a friend request. But one of these days though I will probably get around to deleting the ones I don't think I ever talked too especially ones that aren't active on the site anymore.

    I only accept a request from someone that I've either spoken to casually or I've spoken to a lot in a specific section. I'll add some other people too from events/adoptions etc, but I try and keep it just to people I've spoken to or will speak to. :3 Plus I clean my friends list out occasionally so if I don't remember someone, they'll be removed. :p

    I tend to accept more random friend requests than not nowadays honestly, who knows maybe I can strike up a entertaining convo with them if I'm not too busy looking something up first.

  • I accept all on here, just be willing to talk to me or have me add you on skype/msn

    For places like Facebook, I have to know you. I'm open about things online, but I'm just a tiny bit more private there on FB...

  • If someone friends me, I accept. I've been that way since I joined. I feel like it's antisocial not to. I never clean out my friend list either... except for if people get perma-banned. I don't like having banned users on my friend list, it looks messy lol.

  • I do, because I don't see a reason why not. It's just a fun little feature of the forums. It probably means my number is really inflated compared to who I really talk to, especially since I've been accepting these things since the feature was first introduced, but I don't mind so much.
