Why doesn't myLot have an ignore feature?

I have someone on here that keeps sending me multiple friend requests, which I keep declining. After reading some of his responses, interests and discussions started, I've come to the conclusion that he is not the type of person I want on my friend list. I found several of his discussions and comments disgusting and not anything I would want to comment on myself. But each time he sends a friend request thru and I deny, he sends another thru. Why doesn't myLot have an ignore feature? And how would any of you handle this?

Why not let his request just sit there instead of denying him over and over for he'll just keep on asking. If you don't accept or deny then it just sits there and he can't ask you again because the request is already there. Ignore feature would be "oh so nice" if only mylot would add it but so far they've ignored our request for it so we have to do the next best thing which is to let the request just sit there.

Some people don't have all their marbles and some won't take no for an answer so you have to do the next best thing to beat them at their game.

I am not sure what you could do. The next time he sends you a friends request just leave it there and don't accept or decline it. I would think if it just sits there then he won't be able to send another request to you as long as you do that.

Thanks, I guess thats what I'll do from now on. I'm no prude, really I'm not. But this guy's discussions and replies to some are just beyond anything I want to get into.

That's one of the features I like at myspace, being able to block somebody from making contact with you. But I don't ignore people here, I add everyone that sends me a request because I figure what's the point because I can't ignore them here and they still have access to my page even if I add them or not..But I would have no problem deleting people if they start spamming me. What I do like about mylot is that people can not message you not unless they are a friend.

hi tesswhite I dont think mylot has an ignore feature, but jus leave it pending, maybe that will stop him from resending the request. I have got too many now so am no longer taking anyone who doesnt have at least 100 posts. I have friends on here that have never responded to any of mydiscussions so time to delete I think.

It would certainly be handy to be able to 'block' people, Tess - this person sounds like a pain in the rump! Maybe you could contact myLot and ask whether they could bar this person from access to your profile permanently. I have come to the conclusion some people (young men in particular) seem to want to collect 'friends' like trophies because they are hoping to have a lot of responses in order to make more money. When you DO reply to them, they don't bother acknowledging you anyway - I've deleted a few of these after waking up to what they were doing.

Yea occasionally I go thru my friends and delete those like that. I think its about time for me to do it again. I guess I'll just let this friend request sit rather than involve myLot.

ridiculous you are asking how you can stop him.we are not the site owners to stop him sending you friend request just deny him as many times he sends you friend request and at last he will deny you.

Considering the small number of posts you have had, you are hardly able to know what can or cannot be done. As for ridiculous - I find your post ridiculous.

Hi Tess, This would be a great idea, I myself get constant requests from the same person and after a while it does get annoying when you really don't want to add them, you would think he would take the hin eh! Huggles. Ellie :D

Ellie, I guess you will have to do like I'm now going to do - leave him hanging in limbo by not approving or denying his request. LOL Hugs, Tess

I think some people don't even remember whether they added someone as a friend if they keep adding as they read discussions. I tend to accept all friend requests but if you don't want a person to keep asking, if you do not delete the request, I presume it will always show as pending friend request when the person goes to add you again till the person deletes it in their pending requests..

i don't find any reason to decline a frd request which might be sent with lot of expections...may be the person would be new here n wants ur support..may be he wants to increase his frd circle... I don't find any harm in adding people and i add all who send me requests....actually its better for me also because more frds will look on my discussions and will answer them soon and so more responses will come!! But if u personally have prob with some people then u can just keep them in approving list and don't add them...i think its the best thing to do... Gud luck!!happy mylotting buddy!!

Thanks. I plan on just keeping them in limbo. And as I said in my post, I don't want this guy in my friends circle. As for not finding harm - wait until you have a stalker, you may feel differently then.

Hi tess, I don't know why people like that just don't get the message. Quite frankly I would consider this a form of abuse and would contact mylot administration and let them know. They are not great at responding, but if you put it to them that way as in reporting it as abuse I think they would pay attention. If what you just said in the discussion is put into a message to the admin I think that they might just do something about this and possibly give this person a warning not to contact you again or they will get in trouble with mylot. I am serious about you contacting them. If this is a problem that is ongoing you have that right to report the situation. No one has the right to harass another member. That is against the mylot tos. Please contact mylot admin and let them know at once!

Well other than sending friend requests I can't say that he has hassled me. But, from reading some of his discussions and posts he isn't the sort I would want to be able to message me, about anything. His posts are graphic, vulgar and demeaning. I'll just let him sit in limbo out there for now. Thanks.
