A way to turn off friend requests?

[Random Villains]

Is there a way to turn these off like the trades? Every room I go into I get about 5 friend requests and it drives me crazy.

In answer to your question, no. There is no way to turn off friend requests. By the way, be thankful it's only five you're getting. I've been known to get over fifty in under an hour. No, that's not the norm, but it has happened. I guess my usual amount is three or so in each and every room I'm in, depending on the room.

Sorry, No I have not seen a way to keep people from requesting to be a friend.

It would be nice if we could turn them off.

Good Idea! Make it so!

I'm not sure that turning off friend requests is a good idea, at least not completely. I get hammered by people all the time. My record was over 95 requests in a day, maybe six hours or so. When I ride the dark rides, I can count on 10 -15 per riding session, and hour or so. God help me if I go into a trade room! (which is why you will rarely find me in one)

Having said that, one of the main things to do in VMK is to make friends. It's even on the VMK Values page as something we should do. How can new people, or shy people, make new friends if they can't ask? Aren't those of us on the DIS more willing to help others? Difficult to feel helped if no friend requests are accepted by many around you.

Maybe because I'm a CL I feel more obligated to accept friend requests, when I can. I have to delete ppl from my lists after they haven't been on for three weeks or so, unless it's someone that I know is taking a sabbatical. I have to do this to make room for the newbies. It would be awful for new people to click on someone they've been talking with only to find out the person won't accept friend requests.

But if you did turn them off, the person could ask. Then you are in the awkward position of having to say, "send a request and I'll sort it out later," which seems to be my mantra most days.

I don't know. I see both sides. God knows I don't like to be pummeled with requests. But I'd hate for new people to be turned away left and right.

But Tyler's 15!

I get friend requests all the time, I accept when I can. But we've never had the option to turn them off

Everyone wants to be friends with Cardinal. It's a curse

 

[Jovey]

I dunno... the ability to turn of friend requests would be pretty sweet... but then all the newbies would be saying "Turn friends request on please!"

When I go in one VMK room. There will be like 30 request waiting for me. I deny. I have an excuse that my friends list is full. You can put that in your signature.

 

[bopper]

My friend list is full, and mostly full with people's names I recognize, so I rarely accept friends anymore, or if I do, I ask them. I just let the friend requests pile up...I have over 500!

 

[Laurabearz]

I would love to be able to accept friend requests... as it is I am constantly deleting people in order to add people


VMK PLEASE GIVE US BIGGER FRIENDS LISTS!!

Agreed. There are a lot of people "waiting" to be added that I can't add
because of the limits. If the limit is there because of lag issues, I can
understand. But once we hit our limit, we cannot send a request to anyone.
It doesn't stop others from sending friend requests.

I wish that the same popup that tells us we reached the limit could be sent
to those making the requests, too.

 

[Peacefully]

Yeah I get a ton of requests all the time. I wish we could turn them off. I tell people my list is full and sometimes they're downright rude and call me names.

 

[Clarity]

I'm still new enough that I accept most everyone that asks. I'll worry about it once I fill up my list.
