Why weed it out? email this discussion to a friend?

This should probably be part of any number of other discussions, but I never did ask, and I want to know -- why do people delete some from their friends lists, or refuse others? I'm not at all sure how many friends there should be, or why some should be removed. Please explain!

I don't really understand the friends thing much - and I wouldn't deny any friends requests. However, I have found a few of the people I accepted seem to post at least a dozen 'discussions' each day which are of no substance and are just asking about earnings, money, other money making sites, etc. Seeing as I have no interest in this, I just delete those discussions, and have actually turned off the notifications for some of those people because my email was becoming clogged with their discussions each day. I am sure they were posting just to make money - and when I did reply to them, they didn't ever bother acknowledging any of the replies.

I've turned off almost all the notificatinos, because I was running out of space in the e-mail box, so I lost some important messages. Maybe I should have dedicated a different e-mail address for myLot, but I never dreamed I'd get so involved!

I'm sure I've inadvertently removed 'proper' emails because there is so much myLot stuff in my inbox. I'm going to have to go through and disable some more of the notifications, as it takes ages going through everything each day. (I used to have a life before myLot!)

It's certaminly taking a huge chunk of my life!

It is entirely a personal choice. I remove people from my friends list if I have not seen any interaction from them one way or another for a long period of time. As far as refusing them. If they are the type of person who creates a lot of problems and uses offensive language towards others I would refuse them from my friends list. On the other hand I know people who have hundreds of friends and never refuse or delete a one. Like I said all a matter of person choice.

I have to admit, you're one of the few people whose notification is on, because I couldn't keep up with it all. One guy went way too far with anything I call friendship, so I deleted him. Otherwise, mybe I'll check out who hasn't posted in quite a while and remove them. That takes time I won't have until the next day off or hurricane day!

your question corners me. i don't see any necessity of weeding friends from mylot, and any reason to feel upset of being deleted from the list.
anyway, i never refuse a friend up till now.


myLot reputation of 95/100. cobrateacher (4271)   ranked 537 out of 38,471 in life  1 year ago

I turned off notifications when I was getting more than 500 e-mails a day. That doesn't leave much time to work or sleep or anything.

I never understood this myself. I'm not into "weeding out" my friends list. I don't care if the people on my list are rarely active, no longer active, or don't respond to my discussions. I will not delete them!

Okay, so there is one way I would delete someone, and that is if they were causing problems for me. But other than that I don't see a reason to delete people from my friends list.

Thanks for the response. I tried, but I felt too guilty to do it!
