I thought friends requests were there for people that have had at least a chat on here and might mention about adding each other as a friend etc.
What I am finding is people are using it at random and just using it I feel to get noticed without even sending you a message first.
I can not be the only person this is happening to, do others just accept friends at random or use it for those we like to keep up with on here.
If you decline the request does the sender get a message saying minx don’t want to be your friend?
I really don’t understand the difference between favourites and friends only that one is discrete and the other shows you have a total of friends on your profile.
I noticed someone the other day with around 50 friends on their list, do some people just collect them?
I wouldn’t know who was who with that many names.
Are you a collector of friends or just keep it to the select few you have chosen to be friends with?
Friend request sent.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I have no real intention of adding any, if someone wants to talk to me, or I want to talk to them, I don't need to add them as a friend to do so, it seems a pointless part of the software to be honest.
I have no friends! :thumbup:
I have a list of people I'm either interested in or chat to in my favourites where only I can see them. No-one else needs to know.
Privacy. Discretion.
Both important.
I make very few requests for friends, but I tend to accept them if I 'know' them. I keep my friends list private anyway. If I receive a request from someone I know, it seems churlish to refuse them, especially as I don't know whether they know if they've been accepted or not. I just don't like upsetting people I guess.
invite sent mr & mrs ben xxx
my profile says i have 2 friends but theres only gary on the list so i dont understand that lol
used to have more but it seems pointless to me so i deleted them !
i think people do know if you delete them tho cus someone asked me why i had deleted him !
I only get them on facespace and mybook, not here :cry:
I do find it a bit funny if I get one from someone I've never met, I can't see the point of that.
... and yes, am sure there are 'friend collectors' out there ...
Yes I have a fair number of people on my friends list, mostly people I have met at Coventry and Derby social events. I find that it’s useful to be able to see who is around and about on the site before I go to the trouble of signing in to the chatrooms.
I have met all but a few of them and I have extensively chatted to the rest. I also keep my friends list hidden -- no one else needs to know who is on it.
I also have a “favourites†list of people who interest me and who I am planning to write to, or have already written.
If you decline a friend request nothing much happens except that your number of friends remains the same. No messages are sent.
If someone accepts your friend request then that person appears on your list (and you on theirs) and your friends number bumps up by one.
If someone removes you from their friends list, the number goes down by one. Again no messages are sent and its up to you to remember who was there before and see who has gone missing.
The “number function†of friends on your list is rather erratic – mine is usually out by one or two and occasionally I put in a ticket to get it reset.
I hope that information is of use.
I have had them off people i`ve never spoken too and i do tend to decline them as i only use it for people i regard as friends, thats how i use mine but i think a few have come from adds we run from time to time.
I think the Favourties section is for people or profiles that interest you.
I got one, I excepted, we have chatted a lot.
well i was oblivious to it till i read this so just been n nosed had a load of invites from peeps i've never even heard of so only accepted those i know just to b polite feel bad i've kept um waiting lol but wat does it do now or is it just a list that sits there???
We have about 20 friends but only people who we chat to a lot, have met or are going to meet. Didn't know about the faourites thing.
We always look to see which of our friends are online and if they are in the chatroom then we know where to find them for a good chat.
We get loads of friend requests from people we never even chatted to just because they've watched us on cam .... we ignore them. I suppose their thinking is that if we are friends then they can see when we're on and check for performances??? I think thats a bit off myself if they cant even be bothered to chat and are just looking a quick link to wank material!!!
