When do You Accept a Buddy Request?

[yourlocalcrow]

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"

[barghosts]

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.
