When do You Accept a Buddy Request?

[forks]

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.
