How You Feel About Friend Requests

Do you accept any and every one you get? Do you simply not bother with them? Do you send one to every person you come across?

What do you do with friend requests?

If someone requests to be your friend, just add them. You win either way. Like what the above said >.> "Most freinds possible!"

I don't mind nor bother much if someone adds me, I know who I talk to the most in here. That being said, its usually the newcomers that add me cos I welcome them in the Meet & Greet.

I usually request to people I talk to alot or people who are my friends IRL. Otherwise, I usually accept whatever friend request.

I usually have to know people to accept friend invites. Or if I don't know them, I need to at least be able to use them for something.

I only request people I know in the real world, but I've accepted others from people I talk to on here. I'm not hyper-social here though. I just show up, lurk, comment, and leave, so I don't get to know too many people all that well.

This. Here on SWF I only add people I shared at least a couple of words with. On Facebook I add acquaintances and friend, I don't accept randoms, they're creepy. If I get a random request on MSN I accept, ask who they are, and procede to delete :D

The point is, don't add/accept random people anywhere.

I accept pretty much anyone that sends a friend request,
but I only give requests to people that either I constantly reply to, come up in the same topics as I constantly, or I've brawled with more than an hour-and-a-half total.

haha I was talking about this yesterday xD

I don't add people I don't know. I also like to keep my friends list restricted to people who are actually friends, so sometimes deleting is in order xD

I've noticed that going to smash tournaments give you an extra 100 some friends on smashboards, and like 200+ on facebook. lmfao.

I like it.

Here on Swf I accept any friend request I get. I use them for the ability to go to peoples pages and spam them with friendly and well meaning messages. On livejournal I only watch/friend my favorite artist since their journals are usually friends only.....

I avoid Myspace Twitter Facebook and everything else like the plague. I only have one real friend and I'm happy with that.

I used to just accept any I got (I don't really send any out), but awhile ago I deleted everyone except those that I know well in real life and/or talk to them a lot outside SWF.

I dunno, I like keeping my friends list tidy I guess >_>

I usually do, although most of the people I add to my Friends List I don't really converse with.

If it's someone I've at least spoken to a few times, I accept.
If it's someone I recognize and am likely to speak to at some point in the future, I accept.
If it's a Pika player or ToS member, I accept.
Complete randoms..... no.

I also go through and purge regularly. Speaking of.... I should do that soon.... (hmm)

"F*** off you c***" *Rejects*

But really, I accept them all because I feel kinda bad about rejecting people. XD
Usually though, I only get them from people I know. I rarely send them out myself, because I feel kinda weird doing it.

My favorite thing to do here is talk on the VMs. However, I usually need to talk to someone a bit before I add them. It's better to have a few good friends, than alot of people I scarecly chat with. :)

I don't really have a problem SENDING out requests, unless the person is really good or has an impressive reputation. I hate being the n00b who tries to make friends with the elitists, as much as I would enjoy talking to them. :)

Well, I don't reject them.

Not unless it's somebody which obviously hates me. But I haven't even had to deal with somebody that obviously hates me doing that.

I don't send out friend requests either. I'm too afraid of rejection. This goes for other sites as well. I RARELY send out friend requests even on Facebook... I wait for them to do it. It's rather tragic when I have a friend that is just like me, and we never become friends on Facebook, isn't it? XD
