Friend Requests - Don't wish to offend anyone, but---

Is there any way we can remove the ability for people to send you Friend Requests? I don't do Friend Requests and get so tired of having to Tick the "REJECT" button. And I don't want anyone to think I'm a snob or anything like that. It's a pain in the ass to have to see a Notification and only to see it's someone else wanting to be "friends." Aren't we all Friends here anyway? Supposedly?

Cheers,

Dave Snow

being friends here doesn't do anything anyways unlike Facebook. you don't gain anything everything stays they same lol its like male nipples
 
Actually it does, similar to Contacts - you can restrict parts of your profile to just those two groups. Unfortunately, you can only turn off the email it sends, not the actual notification.

I have to agree with Dave. Friends are nice but if I accepted as many as I have gotten over the years I'd never get anything made, lol.

here should be a way to opt out.

I'm in there with Ben and Dave.

No offence to anyone; I try to be friendly to everyone through the parts of the Forum which I can understand.

I just accept them - I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But I see them as pointless and would rather not have them.
 
Never had a 'friend' request. I must be using the correct underarmers. (Deoderant)
Even my dog doesn't like me!.
Any and all 'friend' requests received as a result of this post will be rejected.! I don't even know how to use Face(less) book, nor do I want too. :eek:

While I am very selective, I really see no point to this feature. I have my own forum and SAXT has a Facebook account and a group on Facebook. Between the two I stay in contact with those that I need to. Not mention the SAXT Skype account. Given the chance I would gladly opt out of this feature.
 
I don't use it. No point, and more than likely they're doing it to see when my content's coming out. Besides the people I have now, no more.
 
What a bunch of poor old un social-able sad sacks we are in here today LOL, What do you do if sum body knocks on the door ? let me guess you run and hide in the cupboard whilst yelling " There's no one home go away" ROFL.
Cheers Mick.:hehe:

I send my 100 lb dog to the door while I go get my shotgun.

I've accepted the few friend requests that have come my way but truthfully I don't see the need for it. Then again I don't see a need for things like Facebook and avoid those like the plague.
 
What, us, unsociable? I don't think most would be here on this forum if that was the case, we would just use Trainz by ourselves and never chit-chat, never exchange ideas, never console those who lost friends and family, never encourage the new creators, etc. I think we're a right sociable bunch.
 
Hee, hee, I've had only 1 friend here, and I lost him somehow. Hope it was not something I did. I would never turn anyone down, but I would never send a friend request. I like all of ya! Well, maybe not the pirate type, but I usually get a laugh whenever they post something. I'm sure we can live without the friend request thing. I'm not into tweeting, twerking, or any of that stuff. My phone plugs into the wall and I don't even know how to get the wife's "wireless" phone to work. I don't need none of this new fancy stuff!

Cheers...Rick
 
I accept any incoming friend request, even if it is one of those kids who gets banned in their first month. :)

I just don't do anything special with that list.

The "friend" thing, and Facebook, remind me of the Dear Abby lonely hearts columns in newspapers. I like the 100lb dog thing. I can walk my dog and gain "dog lover friends" - Oh what a lovely dog. I'll skip the shotgun. If the dog eats a visitor there is a lesser charge and reduced paperwork than a messy shotgun blast.
 
Friends ?

I spent a fortune on deodorant, before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

The more people I meet ... the more I like Dawgs & Katz !

You can hook up with some pretty nice little ol' Kat hoarding ladies, by hanging out in the local Walmart pet food isle, whilst making small talk with them, about which kitty litter is the cheapest, and what flea & tick repellant works best.

The only better way to make friends, is to hang out at the almost expired meat section of your grocery store, and point out (to the Kat hoarding ladies) that cheap chicken is only 59 cents per pound, snausage is $1.73 per pound, lamb shoulder chops are $3.99 a pound, milk that is going out of date tomorrow is 40% off today, at the reduced price section of Shoprite !

The best way to make friends is to buy 6 (day old) punkin' pies at shoprite @ $1.49, and invite evryone you see, over fer' a slice of pie !

One of my close friends asked, why the burger roll I served him, had little pock mark chunks taken out of the edges of the onion roll ... I told him, that was because I picked the teeny tiny blue fuzzy mold spores starting to grow on the roll off with a pair of tongs, and told him the burger was freezer burnt from the previous Labor Day special 60% off hamburger sale ... and those weren't onions, on the onion roll !

The best way to share a meal with a friend is, to serve them a 2 1/2 year old freezer burnt pork roast (found way back in the forgotten section of the freezer, frozen rock solid), in a crock pot of yummie pork gravey ... the best darn pork roast we ever ate ... my my friend rest in peace !

I like you ... Come on over for a meal ... I'll break out the Dietz & Watson scrapple, and Hebrew National knockwurst (freezer burnt from the previous Labor Day $1.99 lb sale).

And we'll have "lunch meat end" roast beef sandwich's, with "lunch meat end" melted provolone cheeze (only $1.99 at the reduced section of Shoprite), on a day old poppy seed toasted kaiser roll (I sure hope those little black things are poppy seeds, they aren't moving) .

I once dropped a hot dawg in the dirt, warshed it off under running water, reheated it ... and it was real Yummie ! Warning: You kant' do this with a Burger when camping, or on the beach, or you'll be spitting grit, rocks, and sticks out ... You just can't warsh a dropped burger off, and get away with it, trust me.

We were walking around the Blue Mountain & Reading steamer, eating double dipped chocolate ice cream cones, and found that they now as if by magic, had chocolate jimmies all over the top of them ... as it turns out, they weren't jimmies at all ... for they were in fact steam locomotive cinders raining down on us ... but we ate em' anyway, even though they tasted like coal.

A true friend is one ... when your double dip stwabwerry ice cream cone ball falls off, onto the ground ... that he will pick the ice cream ball up out of the grass, with his bare hand, will plop it back onto the cone, and will personally flick the rocks, sticks, and dirt off a it ... and hand it back to you ... almost as good as new !
