Since one can NOT view a new user's profile, then they should NOT be able to request to be added as a friend.

We the current user need to have the same protection as I do not want to be spammed by some of these new users.

When viewing a new users profile I get "Sorry, but to prevent spam, the profile of new members is hidden until they've made a few posts."

So?
Reject the friendship request. QED.

Dave is correct,
Imagine if you'd get a lot of request and have to click reject.

DaveA · 28-Sep-2009, 12:52 PM #4

I do NOT get a lot (how long is a short piece of string), but I do like to check on who is asking.

Neither do I

, so maybe that accounts for my lack of appreciation of the problem

I guess one could turn off the "allow friendship" mode in one's account. But then one needs to prepare for loneliness.

I tuned that off long ago.

And just look what it's done to you!!

Yep, the few friends that has the misfortune to make it in before the lock met the sniper kitty, they aren't around anymore.

I believe this has been discussed previously, but I know in the "help" forums most of the friendship requests are simply from people who want individual, personal instructions on how to solve their problems.

I have a standard post for PM requests for help, it directs them to post in the forums. A significant part of the value of the forums is the fact that a large searchable database is available.

Of course, that's when we get search working properly again.

Just looked at your profile. You HAVE friends!

What happened?

Breech jammed?

I've also gotten friendship requests from new people I helped solve their problems.
