...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
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.
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 :/
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?

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.
