Please don't send me friend requests... by shorty-antics-27

...unless you're an actual friend.

Several people tried to add me as a friend in the last few days, and they are either just commenters or people I have never talked to before.

I'm sorry, I don't add people like that so easily. :c

Please don't send me friend requests...

    Some people use it like a follow button. Or with the intention of becoming your friend. I'm like you, don't typically add anyone I'm not actually friends with.

      It annoys me. The worst is on dA where you can't control who friends you or not. And that it automatically has the friend option clicked when you watch someone, but not the scraps. It's stupid.
      I hate seeing my icon on people's page I don't know. People will think I am actually friends with them. >_>

        Oh god, it does? Shit, I've been friending everybody! I always check the scraps box, but I didn't even notice the friends one.

        • Link

          Yeah. Every time I watch someone I have to make sure I uncheck the box for that, and check the box for scraps. It's annoying.

          • Link

            Do you think I upset anyone by leaving it checked? I sure hope not.

            • Link

              depends on if you have your friends list visible for people. If people "friend" me but don't have it public, then I am fine with it.

              • Link

                Is it public by default? Cause if so, then yes I do.

                • Link

                  I don't remember, as I made my own widget to put my friends on. I don't use their thing for it.

                  • Link

                    There isn't even an option that I can find. ::(

      • Link

        That's one of the reasons I wish people could change what 'default' settings people have when you add them to watch, since Friend is checked by default which is :/

        • Link

          Yeah, I don't get why they don't have the option for you to choose your own default. bah.

        I often accidentally friend people on DA like that, it took me a while to first notice it too.
        I do wonder though, has DA had that feature since forever or is it relatively new?

        • Link

          It has been there for forever it seems. I don't bother with telling people to take me off their friend list on dA, so I am glad I can control what happens on here. Still felt like I had to make it known, though. xD

        I used to "friend" people without knowing, now I basically don't care about it (and use it to keep in mind people I just watched to show my friends)

  • Link

    I dont even know what defines a friend. So i prefer not to use it :-)

    • Link

      Each person views it differently, so I have to make it clear I don't easily call people friends like that.

      • Link

        Yeah. Some people just call everyone friends

  • Link

    I would use it as an intent to be friends with someone, but too many people will likely freak if I use it that way, so I rarely click it.
