Random Friend Requests
« on: August 29, 2014, 08:12:11 pm »
I won't spend too much time talking about this huehue

So, what's your opinion on random friend requests?

I don't mind when people who I know/have seen from the forums or game or something send requests, but I dislike when people who I don't know and have never talked to just randomly friend me. I always accept, but then they don't even bother to talk to me or say anything, and I just sit there like "WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DID YOU SEND ME A REQUEST"



So, what are your opinions? Or have you ever even had these random friend requests?

I have gotten random friend requests, but I see them and they will talk to me. Or, they have whispered me, usually saying "Nice character". I am not one to accept random friend requests because... Basically, I am super shy and anti-social. o.o even if that had no relevence whatsoever.

I think random friend requests are just another way of some people trying to get your attention. When I get them I feel suspicious of who they are and either whisper them or delete them right away, I never choose whether to accept them or not until I know who they are first.

Sometimes I get them without the person even saying a thing to me. Likely because they're new, though, and want friends... But I don't really accept them, anyway, since I already have a lot of people on my list as it is. x3 (Andtheyneedtotalktomefirstsothatworksoutfine. //Brick'd//) And plus, I don't know them, obviously.

I don't get random friend requests /too/ often, though, thankfully... o-o' That picture is literally my reaction every time.

I get random friend requests, however I only accept people I know and are friends with...

...As you can tell. lol I think people send them just so they can have a lot of users on their list- maybe they think they really know the person? I don't know, reasons vary.

I've gotten lots of these before, I'm not exactly sure why they're sent to me though ;0; I'm not exactly the user that will introduce theirselves and be all friendly. I'm really shy/uncertain at first. Also, I'm not that popular so that can't be why they're sending it. Maybe they just want tons of friends? owo I feel awkward trying to continue this post so I'll end it here.

Oh yeah... There are times that I'm totally silent on a public map and people will suddenly send a friend request to me. It's really weird. Most of the time I just ignore the requests though.

I think the creepiest thing that ever happened was when I was on one of my private maps all by myself and I suddenly got a friend request. I sat there for the next five minutes just looking around thinking "How did you find me? D:"

Same here... I sometime get spammed for my fursona to join random packs, or for my cougar to join lion prides... LOOK AT THE MARKINGS PEOPLE! NOT EVERY SANDY-COLORED BIG CAT WITHOUT SPOTS/STRIPES AND HAS A MANE IS A LION!

Ugh, group requests. They usually send you like 10 in a row, too. .-.
