I do not follow others that I do not know at all until they write a few discussions.

@allknowing Like you, I follow everyone who follows me. If they do end up spamming or being rude I can always remove and even block them. @SIMPLYD and I have been connected a long time. I only think I have ever had to block one person and he was my friend from the old myLot, but he got strange.

@SIMPLYD That they can do even without followihng anyone. They need to go to explore where they will find users who are not on their list.

I totally agree! I follow only two people and they are involved with taking care of the site, the others I find them in posts that I read. If they show up on my posts then I read their stuff if I like it.

I am just the opposite, but after seeing this discussion, I am only going to follow them after they have interacted with me for a time. I guess i want as many followers as I can get, but really, that can be a bad thing. I will start doing things differently from now on. Thank you for posting this discussion, as I now know what I need to do.

Oh, love the volcano, we were just studying about volcanoes and how they are made and which ones are active, etc... Yes I agree and when I see someone started following me, I won't follow back unless he or she had at least commented on one of my posts. Not that I think everyone should comment, but if one is following me, there are a couple reasons why. 1) He or she saw something I wrote and was interested (hence, then a comment would be appropriate) or 2) Some just follow others hoping that member would comment on his or her post and he or she won't reply back. (In other words, those who post and do not interact with others). So, either way, if the follower doesn't comment, I can assume reason number 2 is why and I won't follow back.

@SIMPLYD When you follow someone you give them access to you via the message system so we should make sure it's someone we wouldn't mind getting to know better. If they never even read a post, that's not the person I want on my list.
