Pending friends

I keep tracking how many posts they have made and yes i can see some are really moving forward while others just have the same number of posts from the day they have invited me. So If you have been on my pending list for a month and your number of posts isn't moving at all, like it still remains in 1, then sorry but i have to let you go.
I think i'm getting stricter with my own rules in accepting friends, but i'm glad that sometimes when i check i can see that 5 or 6 of them have reached my quota which is 50. So i'm glad that somehow they are enjoying mylot and hope they will have more mylot fun and participation in the future.

I don't understand the point of limiting or deleting friends?? For me the more the merrier. I do find my inbox quite full at times, but I routinely try to clear it.
May I ask why you would want to delete anyone? Is there any advantage in having fewer? If they don't post then they don't add to your inbox. Thanks, just wondering what I am missing in this thinking.

@stary! I deleted pending friend requests, which means i ignored those that are not active. I keep them pending until they reach 50 posts and accept those who have qualified under my own terms.
Do you ever interact with everybody, i mean ALL of your friends? And deleting friends is my own prerogative.

I hope those who really want to be in your list will be working harder and harder to increase their tally, so that they could achieve the target.

Dee that is if they see me worthy enough to be their friend. If not, then they'll just ignore and not be active here on mylot.
Thanks.

Good Jill! and to stary, no there isn't any advantages but that would mean that i'm having close relationship with those that i have on my list. Adding friends randomly doesn't make them your friends at all if they never interact nor become active in mylot. So what's their use in your friend list?

ohhh why is your quota 50? if you don't mind me asking? .. i'd be interested to know why you don't just accept everyone and have lots of people on your friends list? why are you strict in how you accept friends, like they have to have made posts durig the pending time, and stuff? i just accept everyone so i'd like to know why you don't :)
ps] you just added / accepted me because i was awesome right? even if i'd only 2 posts you'd have accepted me? right? lol!

This rule of mine is very recent and yeah i accepted you even before you even reached my quota! I was love struck!
Or maybe bewitched?
The reason why i am imposing this rule on my friend list is to encourage people to be more active in mylot. I want my friends to be active. If they are, i would be encourage to be active as well. It's just like a chain reaction.
In almost one year of my stay here in mylot i have never ignored a friend request until recently. But i make sure that the person has not been active for a month and has less than 50 posts and the posts he made from the time he or she invited me never moved at all. I can monitor it because i keep them pending.1 person likes this

love struck! see you just admitted you loved me over mylot.. you better tell your hubby you might be a lesbian! quickly before he finds out on his own hahahaha!! wee jokes!
ahh i get you, you don't see a point in having people on your friends list who offer no sort of comments on your discussions and give you no discussions to which you can comment and therefore increase your mylot earnings? i get you!!
you've only bean here a year and you've over three thousand beside your name? i've been doing this for 3 or 4 months and i'm just about to hit three hundred!! crazy haha!

i don't look at the number of their post. whenever I get friend request, I just accept it without checking their profile :) I'm just glad that they find me interesting to add. That is something to be thankful for. It's up to you if you wanna set your rules. That's is your account anyway.

True it's my account. And i was just like you before. But the longer you stay in mylot, the active you are, the more you will learn the significance of others being active here as well and not just a name with zero post.

By the way, are the total posts of your friends affect the earning that you get somehow? :/
If it is not, as for me, I would rather accept all friend request and may remove one or two if he/she annoys me (maybe because of sending a spam message or so).
And about the notification that being mentioned earlier in several people's comment, thank you for letting me know xD. I will make a good use of that feature :D

NO it doesn't. It's a personal choice of mine and a lot of mylot members here have requires more than 100 posts. If you have read my discussions before you would know that my intention in doing so is to encourage more people to become active. If they aren't they wouldn't know anyway if they have been ignored or not.
The longer you stay in mylot the more you would understand why i chose to have my own requirements.

Personally for me, it is interesting to see who usually ends up inviting me to be their friend here. Like you I always check to make sure that the person is active if I am going to add them, and make sure they are not going to want to SPAM me as well. Since I am one of the older members here a lot of times I get New people asking just because I am older. But personally there is nothing wrong I feel in waiting to see if a person is going to be active before accepting them for sure.

True. I don't see anything wrong in keeping them pending until i see them active. Otherwise if they are not, why do i have to keep them on my friend's list?

I found my inbox flooding months ago so i decided to turn off the notification of those whose interests aren't inline with mine. So now i'm enjoying the discussions of friends that have same interests with me.

I always accept requests from everyone. Because I know this is a very good site and here we can post our discussion. So if their are so much friends in your profile then you can also get many discussion everyday. So I have not any problems to accepting friend request from anyone. And now I have over 325 friends on this site.

How can you get many discussions when those people are inactive? That's why i said i have to wait for them to be active before accepting them and if they are not, what's the use in having them on your list when they don't even log in?

So for you to accept a friend's request you have to see that their post or comments are increasing in numbers. That makes me remember when I did a friend's request on another website when I had just joined. There was women and men who declined me. The interesting was that after I had worked up my numbers of signed petition for helping other people worldwide they asked for my friendship.
That tells me I had to prove myself to be good enough for them, before they wanted to accept me as their friend.
I have learnt to be ignored and rejected by many people and judged and not been believed of what I said before they did know me.
It is interesting how people can change their approach when they discovered all my altrustic hard work for other people's pleasure and wellness.

It's true and that would happen only if that person is active. But what about those with no post? Or only have four or five and it's like that for weeks?

Luckily I'm in your friend's list. Is there any special reward by achieving five hundred posts?

I only accept those with 50 posts not 500! So being on my list is enough as a reward.
TAke it or leave it!
