I know that some people would accept a buddy request right away, whereas others will only accept after multiple conversations.
The question is, when do you accept requests?
I don't accept buddy requests right away, especially if it's not someone I know. However, if it's a floof I recognize from the forums I would definitely accept a request. I prefer to talk to others before buddying them, however, as I believe that trust and friendship are not things to be tossed around.
I won't lie, however, when I say that if I'm participating in a roleplay I buddy everyone I can, if only so that I won't get lost in the map >.<

Nice topic idea!
And I think I'm the same as you when it comes to accepting requests.
Sometimes I see a few requests and I hardly know anyone, I don't even talk so I don't see why they would friend me.
But if it is someone from the forums or someone I have spoke to multiple times I will most likely accept it.
Apart from that I'll leave it and whisper the person since they may have got a new account.
-
If I'm just chilling in the grounds and I get a random friend request, then I'll probably just immediately delete it.
If I'm chilling in the grounds and strike up a nice convo with someone, then get a friend request, I'll probably accept if they seem cool.
Anybody I've had a good convo with on the forums will get an immediate accept.
In Roleplays I'll be sending out friend requests left and right just so I know who is on, when they are on, and when its a good time for me to log in to RP or recruit. c:
Though, if I accept a friend request and then in later conversations things get awkward or incredibly unpleasant I'll have no issue removing someone from said list. Tbh -- I've had people who seemed cool at first, but then later started getting really uncomfortably sexual, and so I've blocked and removed them.
I have like a whole system worked out LOL.
-
Yeah I usually wait until I actually know the person a bit before accepting friend requests. I give them a few tries actually instead of just one convo, in case ya know, I talk to them once and never see them again after that.
-
All the time. 99% of the time it'll be someone who logs out straight away after i accept it... i figure they must have been reaching for the block button & missed.
-
Mostly I tend to add people after I've known them for a while, build up some trust if I'm not so sure about their personality.
Other times I've added right away because I've got the feeling they are a truly nice person to speak to and I want to keep them around.
I only remove people from my list if I've not seen them online in a while or I haven't spoken to them in a long time and usually the removal is done when they are offline.
-
I have a fairly similar mindset on that.
Though I -Sniffle- Never really been buddies with anyone, I know quite a lotta folk around here. I don't necessarily have to be friends with them to have a decent conversation. It can be a little lonely when I'm bored, but it's fun to have some small talk here and there~
But I would accept a request if I've seen that floof around.
I also am quite open to newbies. But I don't think I would accept if the account seemed barely used and kind of.. well, off-looking, if you know what I mean.
-
This is a good discussion topic here. I never accept any random friend requests from players I don't know. If I ever accept a friend request it's because I've really gotten to know them, have roleplayed with them long enough to have them be a roleplay buddy, someone I've had many good conversations with, or someone I know from the forums.
-
I usually only accept a friend request if i've talked to the person a bit before or if I've seen them around on the forums. It all depends though.
-
No one wants a random in their request. With all respect, I would love to accept friend request but I just get so picky when it comes to that stage. It has to be someone who's active, always looking for a conversation, and just mainly open. I don't know one talking to me to one day and then forget me the next. It doesn't work.
-
I usually decline immediately if I wasn't told who it was. If I don't receive a random whisper beforehand from the person, or we haven't talked beyond once or twice, they get declined. I'm also not the type to randomly friend members of my group if they have nothing to do with my character. The only members of groups that I send friend requests to are leaders and other members of their staff. I also regularly clean out my friends list of people who I don't talk to anymore or I have no clue who they are. If they're online, I usually keep them on and just see where they are.
-
I honestly accept almost all friend requests, even from completely random strangers. The only time I'll decline is if I just feel a bit uncomfortable or wary of the person, but that's pretty rare. I don't get too many friend requests anyways, so I just feel honored getting any request xD
-
I basically see a friend request for what it is ^^ Though I'll only accept it if that's what we are, friends. So talk to me a bit, get to know me and I'll get to know you and we'll see where it goes c:
-
I don't really think when I accept friend requests I just go like "oh ka"
-
i'll have to agree and say i accept friend requests after i've known them for a little bit
there's been times where i've added people who then proceed to interfere with any conversation or roleplay i'm involved in and it... it gets frustrating ; ;
-
I usually only accept friend requests if I actually,"know" them. More than just a simple,"Hello" and then BOOM new b.f.f. but I honestly don't friend people too much anyways, heh. But if I roleplay in a group I intend to stay in I friend the leader and/or second in command.
-
I usually accept a friend request if I've talked to the person multiple times, who are friendly and I generally enjoy being around. I will also accept if I know them around the forum and have talked to them. But usually never other than that. ^-^
Great topic! Interesting to see other users answers.<3
-
I love seeing everyone's opinions!
I do delete members on my buddy list if I'm not sure who they are anymore haha
-
I don't usually accept friend requests until I've gotten to know the person a bit more. It's more of a personal thing; I would prefer to have a relationship with someone before adding them on there-- mainly for organization purposes and wanting the request to feel genuine. I respect those who like to use it as groundwork to a friendship, too, though. c:
-
Hmm, this is a tough question for me. As much as I'd want as many people to consider friends as possible within the community, it takes a lot for me to get to the point of friendship. Heck, after all these years on this game, I've really only had 3 or so users I'd even consider to be "friends," and I still only talk to 2 of them outside of the game. So I'd usually wait through a couple of interactions before accepting a request, but not too many, since in order to deeply get to know a person, you'd need an easy way of communication, which the buddy list functions include nicely.
-
This is interesting! I, personally, accept buddy requests right away if it's someone that I know.
If I'm in a role-play group or something along those lines, I try to friend everyone that I can because I feel as though I'll see those people often enough that we'll become friends anyways.
To be honest though, it's been a while since I've actually had some 'friends' on Feralheart--like whispering in actual conversation instead of playing games or role-playing. But there's always the option to remove someone from your friendslist if you feel as though you're not as close with that person, so I'm pretty open-minded about who I add, haha. I'm always afraid that if I don't add someone who I genuinely like, then I might lose the chance to do so at a later date & I won't see them again, if that makes any sense, haha.
