Do you follow this criterion for accepting a friend request?

Hi Sreekala, it depends, that is a good option if you want to be friends with people who will be active and actively replying to your discussions, however i just simply accept any friend request except the ones who joined recently, i would wait for their numbers to go up, i give them ample time, and if they are not seen with any increase in 2 to 3 weeks i don't add them up, i think that is sufficient time for them to keep themselves up here, as for others i don't need to think much, i used to simply add on anybody earlier but now it seems i have got more inactive friends, i might want to delete them but now since i have added them i would delete after a few months pass by and they don't appear, i have a few friends who keep coming after long time so i don't want to delete them either, it just feels so nice to see them back here after a long time and so i think i won't be deleting any friends but yeah the ones who come new to this site they need to be active, at least once a week so that i could add them..

yes sree. its a nice criteria. i too take an another process to observe the activeness of a new friend. i just add him/her as i notice and then go to his/her discussions and response to one. if he/she comments back very soon then i am sure that he/she is an active, he/she is not here to make a huge friend list. have a nice day . take care.

Hi Sree....actually when I was new to mylot I used to screen all people who sent a friend request and go through their profile and discussions before adding them as friend.....I thought this way I can add like minded people only and this would make mylotting more fun...But now a days since I dont mylot much,I have stopped screening people and usually add a person as friend as soon as I see the request.....

Hi Sreekala, When I initially joined mylot I had a bad or rather an intimidating experience. Being new and eager to make friends I sent friends request to two prominent members , whose discussions I had answered and both of them never bothered to add me .I felt bad because I felt that it is the senior members who need to be more acomodating. So now, I never ever refuse a friend request from anyone esp new members...All that matters is that i accept and it is upto them to either be here and enjoy the site or leave...

Hi Sree, i never consider any criteria for accepting friends in mylot. all those who invited me are welcomed and accepted. i don't have the right to choose friends here. i just enjoy meeting them and later becoming their friends.

Hi, Sreekala. Honestly, I don't need a criteria to let someone be in my friend-list. If someone wants to be my friend, ok - I accept the request. But there is no problem, if I send a request to other mylotters, and they don't want me in their friends-lists, because they have some criteria, when they're acepting new friends.

Personally for me, I never deny a person a chance to be a friend here. I do often check out to see how active they are, or wait a couple of days to determine this if they are Newer as well. Many times some of the people I have accepted often do choose to leave after a while or some never get the jist and cause trouble and so I choose to remove them as well. Personally I think it really determines a lot of different factors as to why people accept someone here as a friend or not, but personally that should be our personal choice as well. Just my thoughts.

Earlier, I would check the person's profile and look at the type of discussions they responded to or started to see if we were like minded. But now I do not have the time for it and accept everyone's friend requests. When I have the time, I go check and clear inactive 'friends'.

there is a good point with this criteria, i guess. but for me, it does not matter if the one requesting for my friendship already responded to anyone of my discussions. i mostly, i guess, everyone, i accept requests.

Hi friend! I am not following any criterion. Actually, I have not denied any request of friendship. Anyone is welcome to me. But I do delete friends, in fact I've deleted a few because I was offended with the kind of topics they've been creating. Otherwise, I keep friends on my list whether they are supportive or not but of course they also don't get 100% support from me.

I usually check a person’s profile before accepting a friend request to determine if the MyLotter in question has anything in common with me and whether his or her discussions would be ones I may be interested in. I stay away from the ones who have little or no activity; I leave them pending for a while to see how they go... I used to accept every request when I first started here but, after seeing troll and spam activity I decided to be more selective.

Hello shree good morning, I considered you as a friend without any conditions or anything before accepting you as a friend. I never ever did that ever since. What I remembered was deleting a former friend (also an Indian)after a few arguments regarding he/she offered online business that I registered and joined without having her/his fully support I need.. I was got so mad at her/him I deleted it on my friend's list. Sorry shree he/she is also an indian. I think that was the worst I did here on mylot... Mobhomeir here..

Hi Sreekala It's been a long time that i have been out of the site.I am not aware of this criteria.Thank you very much for bringing this concern to me.But with me,whenever someone invited me to be his or her friends,i easily accept it,and I don't even check his or her background.I want to gather as many as friends as I can.

I do not apply any criteria for accepting a friends request. I would add any and everyone as and when the request comes. According to me all are good unless they prove themselves bad.

Hi Sree, I don't set any criterion for accepting friend request. Since they "look me up" why not to accept their friendship. But it doesn't mean that I will answer all their new discussions. You know I just have limited time to write a few posts here daily. If there are too many interesting discussions..., of course I will pick those who will add comment in my response. Nowadays I tend to answer discussion and rarely write new discussion. If I'm not mistaken the last discussion was started few months back quite lazy eh....Yeah, may be this is the main reason I haven't made any fried request for quite a long period. Take care and happy posting

I do not have any criteria for accepting a friend request. I always feel that someone has thought that I am capable of being their friend and so it is a content feeling to get friend request from others. However, I will visit their profile, get an idea as to how the person is, from his/her posts and then accept the request.

Dear friend, I do always accept anyone who request for a friendship. Before that I may just go to their profile. I hope the criteria may be well suited particularly to know those friends who are not active.

Hi, Sreekala. That is a great idea, but I will just add many friends to my list and if they are not all that active, then sooner or later, myLot will delete their account... If not, it will not bother me because I have too many friends on my list that are already active.

I just accept any friend request that i see in my page. Sometimes I go to their profile and check but I haven't denied any friend request since I joined mylot. It's not my style to deny friend request and follow a criterion.

hello sreekala, i think i have come across to some who have such criteria in accepting a friend request...that's why even if i want to be friend with him/her i just can't since i was not able to respond in any of his/her discussion...hehe but given a chance i would want to be their friend as well... on my part, i don't have any criteria in adding friend/accepting invites. as long as invites comes, i accept them... but sometimes i'm curious why i am receiving friend request from the people that i don't even see in my discussions, nor i have responded to theirs... but anyway, i still accept them...afterall we've got nothing to lose if we accept them...
