Removing People from Friends List

Re: Removing People from Friends List

It's far from the dumbest thread of the year -- people are just being immature rather than at least talking about it.

I personally think it would be a good idea to have notifications for it; even though other social networking sites don't do something like it, it's something that I personally feel should be an option to enable/disable at the very least.

It's like.. not even necessary at all.
What's the point?
What good can come from it?
Why should the Admins waste their time on it?
Will these questions stop?
Line break..?

Re: Removing People from Friends List

I think it should be a mutual removal, whether or not you get notified. That's the biggest thing in my opinion.

baby dont hurt me


no but really, wouldnt it just be a slap in the face to send a notice of friend removal. I mean if i want to remove somebody, usually its because i never speak to them, or they turn out to be annoying. I would much rather be able to remove them without telling them anything. But yeah good topic, it could go either way.

Re: Removing People from Friends List

The only reason I can possibly see why anyone would be against the proposal is if they like being on lots of people's friends lists but don't want others on theirs. And do you know how much of a creepy **** that makes you?

Mutual removal needs to be implemented. Since it isn't, a manual notice of removal for purposes of the other person manually removing you as well from theirs isn't unreasonable to ask for.

The only possible conclusion I can draw is many of you are creepy ****s who like being on lots of people's lists but don't want lots of people on yours because you want to draw the appearance that lots of people "want" to be your friends but you're "uber-exclusive" despite the fact you're likely the one who added them in the first place, they likely accepted the request to be nice, and you likely added tons of other people as well and did the same to boast a sort of pseudo-popularity. And that makes you the ultimate losers.

The only people being unreasonable in this thread are many who apparently prefer being creepers and like the current broken system because it allows you to continue being creepy ****s.

Re: Removing People from Friends List

You know what? If you're going to remove someone from your friends list the least you can do is let them know so they can remove you from theirs as well if they like.

It's like some people want to be on everyone's friends lists yet want to keep their own super exclusive or something. No. Doesn't work like that with me and if I find anyone pulling that stunt I'm going to remove you. No hard feelings, but simple as that because I'm not going to give free advertising of your profile via mine if you won't even do the same.

I don't ask for top 16 spot. All I ask is to be on there at all, somewhere, probably near the back since my username starts with a u, if you've added me at some point (and most are people who added me).

I don't mind so much the ones who don't appear to have any friends list at all for some reason, but if you have one and I'm not on it and you're on mine, expect to be purged.

Is it so hard to maybe post on someone's wall like "Hey look, I'm removing you from friends list so you can do the same if you want"?

So far looks like I've caught about 7 people doing that so enjoy your removal. Don't expect to get back on.

I admit it. I made a mistake. Please let me back on to your friends list.

[i will pwn u]

Re: Removing People from Friends List

we should just remove the friends list all together... i think the only thing i cared about the friends list for was the notifications i got when ppl made a random thought or added a pic.. which i dont even have on my profile anymore with the new layout.. this thread is kinda silly tho who cares if somone removes you.. its ffr .. lool

Re: Removing People from Friends List

This thread is both amusing and silly.

+1 for idea of notifications of someone being removed (Though lets be honest, all this would probably do is cause someone to get angry even though said person never talked to you before.)

What's the point of having a forum?
Why should the admins waste their time on it?
You're speaking from the point of view of someone it doesn't really effect. However, there are people it matters to, for whatever the reason. Should we ban people who don't play the game and only use the forum? Should we ban people who only use the sites social networking? Why do you guys care about this? If you guys really thought this stuff was stupid and all, just ignore it instead of complaining about it.

Quite a few of those questions seem highly irrelevant. Obviously the forum is used by most of the people on FFR, and is the center of the FFR community's social interaction. You are comparing a mechanism which has a very limited range of uses to something that is extremely important to how FFR functions as a community.

I also don't understand this argument, if they remove almost everyone from their friend's list, it appears as though they have very few connections with other people on FFR. No one makes any ridiculously ludicrous assumptions about people having a small list of friends, and neither should you. Aside from if they were on your top 16, no one would even see them on your friend's list, because no one would ever bother to look through all of your "friends" on FFR.

I completely agree that if you remove someone it should have you removed from their profile as well, but it is hardly something that is anywhere near as serious as you are making it out to be. Maybe an admin someday in the future will decide to resolve this issue, but let's tone down the perceived severity of the problem a bit.

"Most people" meaning a hundred out of a couple thousand? The forum interactions are right in front of us, and we see the same people post every time with the occasional new face.

The mechanism I'm referring to has a just as large or larger userbase. Of course I do know that some people on FFR do not post but just read, however those same people wouldn't necessarily miss the forums and would easily like to see more regular updates on the home page for news. I am not saying we should get rid of these things, but that Pseudo's questions can be asked about other things as well, forum included.

Re: Removing People from Friends List

no but tons of ppl care about profile votes for some reason, thats where theres a few who constantly update their profile to keep it on the home page. pretty lame lmao

I only did this because I liked having the people to talk to
