OMG! Do I have to be your friend???

I usually check out the profile and see if we have any of the same interests. If we do, and they seem like an OK person and have their profile filled out, I generally accept. MyLot is different than say, Facebook, to me at least. I don't get very personal on this site, so it doesn't matter at all. But consider that the more friends you have, the more chance you have to participate in discussions and earn more.

I agree with you. I used to add anybody who requested my friendship on me, but I'm so sick and tired of getting t hose pesky little private messages asking me to join sites. IT drives me insane! I mean, I bet they are wonderful people, but I never get to meet them because they don't bother to discuss anything. Quite a pity, really. I just don't deny or accept their requests anymore.

No, you don't have to be my friend. I don't request everyone on here to be added to my friends list (actually I haven't requested anyone's friendship for some time now). However, I'm glad you're on mine (not sure who requested who LOL), otherwise chances are I never would have seen this discussion. This discussion, as well as many others have landed in my inbox, thanks to email notifications from people on my friends list. And even though it's impossible to respond to them all, it can make discussions that I want to respond to a bit easier to find. And yes, I do add anyone and everyone that requests my friendship. Even those with no posts. If they took the time to request it, then the least I can do is accept. And if they do happen to send me spam, I can always spam 'em right back. Happy mylotting!

I'm getting a bunch of them myself. Apparently, they don't read or they just don't care. I've seen many discussions about people asking to be on our friends list with a zero post count. I guess they don't notice these discussions. I think, if it were me doing it, I'd start to get a bit discouraged because I don't know of any myLotters who accept their friendship request and actually keep them as friends, once the referral links start showing up in PMs. I just let them sit on my approval page. I don't deny or accept. I figure, if I deny them, they'll probably just ask again, and again, and again. Maybe, if they actually READ some of these discussions, they might change their tactics and at least get a bit involved in the discussions.

Hi momma! How ya doin' gf? I'm glad you brought this up! I have noticed all of a sudden an amazing increase in friend requests by people who have absolutely NO POSTS! I look at their profile and mark them off as "friend collectors", in other words exactly what you said those that want nothing more than to be an annoyance to try to get you to join something! If I want to join something I will do it on my own and because someone I have known for awhile asked me to, not a total stranger with no post count! Thanks for this discussion momma, hope maybe some of them will read it!

Its waste of adding friends who are not active They are people who just make accounts but never be active its better denying their requests

I ignore those requests. They have done nothing to participate here so you know ahead of time why they joined. I put them in limbo so they can't ask again. They just get to sit in my friends request box. It amazes me how many friends they accumulate here without being an active member. I don't add them.

Hi 34momma, I have some of those zero posters pending in my friend list, i am still waiting to see if they make any progress at all. But not even a single post.

lol, I don't think I am your friend. I usually saw them so I accepted to add friend. I don't want to hurt them. I don't mean I become friend of them. We remember they are welcome.
