Suggestion: Deny All Function

[Xx{Midday}xX]

There's an Accept all friend requests option for multiple requests. I don't see why there shouldn't be a Deny all friend requests option or even a Block all friend requests option.

Many of my friend requests are comprised of various people that I don't know. Many profiles also state their denial of "friend farming". Regardless of that, people keep requesting. It's annoying when unattended friend requests build up and users have to confirm every denial for each request, then wait for the page to reload.

There are cases where I would want people to request me as a friend. There are some good and valid requests that I would want to accept. I don't want to permanently block all friend requests. I only want to be able to delete the junk requests all at once.

Out of the 200 requests that some popular people have, they can accept the 4 or 5 that actually mean something, and delete the other 195 196 junks with one click.

Just deny friend requests, period.

[Izzy]

Yea. You can block all friend requests. Click "my settings" once in your profile.

[FlameFalco]

You can disable friend requests altogether under your profile settings; making it that no one can friend you.

Edit: ninja'd by Izzy thx

There are cases where I would want people to request me as a friend though. There are some good and valid requests that I would want to accept. I don't want to permanently block all friend requests. I only want to be able to delete the junk requests.

What arrekusuof93 said.

I definetly agree & I don't know if this is already in FFR, but if it isn't then I think if somebody friend requests you & you deny it, they shouldn't be able to send another friend request to you.

[robertsona]

i think blocking does that, but i'm not sure.

[TheRapingDragon]

Why would you deny a friendship.

Friendship is everything.

The obvious reason for this is to promote positivism. You should be happy to have friends and you should be accepting them all. You shouldn't be denying the hand of friendship from a single person, let alone a collective group.

Please, You can't tell me everyone you've met has been your friend, and some of the time, you don't even meet them, so what's the point in being their friend?

[TheRapingDragon]

Everyone is my friend <3.

It's the only way to be poplar. £10 says he says I misspelled popular

...And that's what the junk requests are going for. Not to have a decent e-conversation with you, but to further promote their own egos to make them 'stand out' to something or to impress their own friends.

As for the suggestion, I agree that we should have this because I get junk requests all the time.

[TheRapingDragon]

Who cares, what care is it to you if they want to add you to speak to someone else and say "hey look I'm friends with (name)". If anything it's flattery.

Also, it makes more people know about you and intrinsically this is what's important.

[Vanilla Mnm]

Well, TheRapingDragon, You are one of few people that are friends with everybody.. but I agree with Xx{Midday}xX on this one..

[TheRapingDragon]

Well then just stick to individually declining friend requests.

Who knows when you will suddenly have a good friend waiting in between all those "junk" requests.

You then decline all friendship requests without realising and before you know it you have forever severed a tie with a possibly life-long friend.

I agree with this statement.

[Xx{Midday}xX]

1) The chances of creating a possibly life long friend with just a request without prior conversation or communication is extremely slim. Hence, "junk" requests. I don't need to feed friend farmers. I only become friends with people who are my friends. Out of the 400 friends I had listed, 300 of them were probably Midday's whim of accepting everyone from loneliness, and all 300 of them never commented on my profile or had an mp against me. I wiped them all.

2) I reprimanded Mans0n for calling you Dragon Rapier. =)

3) If this was implemented, people can just accept the 3 or 4 out of 200 requests that they get, and delete the rest all in one go.

[Commandersa1]

I support this. I do not receive that many friend requests, but it makes sense if you have an approve all, you should have an deny all. It does not seem like it would be hard to add either.

[HammyMcSquirrel]

This would be a nice feature. I have 170ish friend requests that I'll be going through sooner or later, and I know I'll be denying at least 90% of them simply because I don't know the person enough.

I like to keep my friends list to the friends I talk to more consistently. If people ask me why I didn't accept a friend request, I just tell them that it doesn't mean they aren't my friend if they aren't on my FFR buddy list. Random people still like to send requests and the list can build up relatively quickly at times.

I agree with that. I'll send the occasional request to people I think seem cool, and my friends. Other than that there's really no reason to overload my inbox with it. I like this feature.
