Are you picky when approving friend requests?

When I first started mylot I always approved anyone to be on my friends list. Like you it came to a point where there were a few who all they wanted to do was post spam. I admit that I deleted those people because I didn't like how the were sending all of the good post to the back pages. I now am picky about who I add to my friends list. I try to only add people who don't spam and also the ones that I feel I am able to respond to their discussions.

I am the same way you are when it comes to approving friends on myLot. A lot of times, I have had people request to be my friend who do nothing but promote their referral links over and over, and I end up deleting them after I find out. Now, when I receive a request, I make sure I look at their profile and make sure they are, in my own estimation, a good myLot participant. And don't feel guilty, it's not discrimination. You have certain criteria for friends on myLot, there is nothing wrong with that.

I am just like you. I used to accept everyone but then I started having friends use the message feature in mylot to spam me with all sorts of money making oppotunities. That isn't what i am looking for. So I decided I had to start screening. Now when I get a request I go to the persons profile and check out what type of discussions they have started and how many. then I look at the discussions they ahve responded to and even check a few of them to see what kind of repsonses they gave. I know it may not seem fair, but I don't want a bunch of people on my friends list who are into the one liners or all about making money online. I figure it's my friends list so I have the right to be a little picky. They way I look at it, chances are that the ones that I am not accepting are probably the ones who would never really respond to my discussions.

I always check the profiles and see the age, location, the quality of the discussions posted and the quality of responses too. Many times I have had to deny on the grounds that they are merely posting up money making lines or one-liners

I do the same as you but if a person starts to post a lot of spam disscussion then i just delete them. so far it has worked for me .

wow. .great for you.. i don't even get any new friend request.. but i think it's pointless to have many friends.. if they're not active.. some friends.. even if i message them.. they won't reply.. i really dislike making such friends.. i think it's better to have lesser friends.. but quality ones.. the one that will help you always.. and i also will help them whenever they ask for it.. don't you think it's better this way? usually i'll ask them first whether they want to be my friend or not. .and then .. the next minute. they will send invitation to me.. and of course.. i will aprove it.. and send a message to thank them.. i'm really happy when they replied =) ..

I wouldn't call it "picky" but I do not choose a friend just because they have requested. I have a "rule of thumb" that I follow but it isn't necessarily the same in all cases. First of all I see what their rating is. I like to wait until they have some posts under their belts to see the topics and the comments they have made, if any. I do not accept friends who do not make comments on their own posts. Those are the two most important criteria for my accepting a new friend. I also check on those that I haven't see for a while in the discussion listings and if I find they are inactive I will send a PM to advise them that I intend to delete them within a week or 10 days...I really don't think it is right to delete someone without their knowing why.

I think I am picky when it comes to approve a friend request. There is no point if you just approve a request just because someone send you the request, but not going to respond to their discussions. SO, before approve someone I go through their profile and see if there is something what catch my interests. If the member has something interesting where I can reply, I add them to my list. Also I don't like to add people with 0 repsonse. Because when somebody don't post anything how you would know what is there posting about.

yes am picky when i add someone .I check out there discussions .If they are good enough i approve them or else reject and sometimes if some opinion of theirs is very close to what i think i approve them. We have the right to discriminate who we want as our friends and who not.Or else we'll end up with so many people that we will not recognise the real ood people in between them.What say?

These days yes..mostly if people aren't very active a few days after they've just joined..I won't add them. I also won't usually add people with terrible grammer and spelling, or talks mostly about subjects I have no intrest in. It's nothing against them personally, I'm just here first and formost for the money lol

Actually NO I am not. I pretty much will defently approve you no matter what. I dont look at others and I dont care. If you think I am that great a person to add me I'll add you NO matter what. :))

I am not picky with friends request here on mylot. I still dont have a good number of friends here and I guess it ok. I recieved a few emails about earning sites but I just ignored them. I dont want them to take my time.

I don't have many friends, so the answer to your question is No. I add members who requested.

I haven't gotten the chance to choose what friend requests I get because I haven't gotten any...must be nice to be able to complain about having too many. Good luck.

no, i am not that picky.. generally whenever i receive a friend's request, i approve..

no. absolutely not. the fact that they invited me as a friend is a sign that they wanted to know me better and to support me here in mylot and i think declining that offer is unreasonable. why? because these friends are just like blessings for each of us and yet, we become choosy. i mean, it's a kind of prejudice isn't it? i don't judge the attitude of a user here by his or her name. getting to know someone better is the best thing to avoid future conflicts.

I try to take the time to look through anyone's profile page before accepting or denying a friend request. I look to see what discussions they have started, which ones they replied to, how they replied - one or two words, one line, decent reply, etc. I also look to see if they have similar interests to mine. I have learned that it pays to be picky when accepting friends requests. I have a couple that I accepted without looking into it first, and they send spam messages for affiliate links, etc. I am much more careful now.

I'm still accepting everyone unless they are real spammers who post trash oneliners discussions every minute.. yes I find it hard to find the 'true friends' in the "discussions my friends started" page but so far it's something that I can live with although it makes me miss some of the good discussions of my best friends here in mylot.

I am starting to think of it now. yes I have many friends but they are just plain names and don't help me on my way tot the top he he.. only few are responding to my discussions, yes I know the fact that they only answer those topics that interests them but some don't respond at all. They just asked me to be their friend and that's the end of it. No, I am trying my best to look first at the profile of the one asking to be my friend before accepting it. try to see his/her info if she/he is active here in mylot for assurance.

Frankly speaking I am not. The reason behind this is that I think that i cannot learn everything about a person by just going thru his/her profile. I can learn about them by learning about them and by spending some time with them and that i canna do without making them my friend.
