Deleting friends

Yes, I did a bit of weeding today. I deleted a few people from my friends list, and deleted lots of requests. I just don't think I have anything in common with these people so I don't feel bad about it. I have a couple of friend requests pending and I'm going to leave them there now to see what sort of things the post about. If they don't interest me I won't add them. What's the point? :/

That's resonable ,i think. It seems that more and more poor posts here, just a little like spam. Some others sent many short question as thier posts. That's so boring for others!

As far as friends go before I accept them I look at their profiles and posts. Then I decide to accept or deny. I don't have a ton of friends and so far I have not deleted anybody or checked if they answer to my posts. I usually answer questions if I am interested in the subject regardless of who posts them. I guess that is the reason in part that my point count is so low.

Dont feel too bad, I did the same thing a few days ago. I accepted many friends when I started out on MyLot not looking at their posting behaviour. After some investigation, I decided to delete some "weeds" from my friends list, as I could not associate myself with their type of posts. By doing this, I believe, we will strengthen the MyLot community of credible posters and get rid of the spammers!

well i also hav same prob here...bt i think some mine posts r nt usable here.... n duno abt others..

Interestingly, I ate my Ipod for breakfast. It was my favorite color too, purple. I'm kinda picky about my friends list, so I haven't had to do any weeding.

I did a couple of days ago. I think I was up to 37 friends and a few of them had meaningless discussions. So frustrating! So I deleted them. I have 2 requests for friends now, and I looked at their profile and I don't think I have anything in common with them.

I have went through and deleted friends that have not logged in in a month. I think it is safe to say, they are done. I also deleted one that I found was copy and pasting.

i do have some friends i do not know how to contact any of them i do hope to contact them sometime if its possible..

Yes its been going around lately.And I certainly agree with you. I have shut off alot that Im sick of seeing stupid discussions from them. I must say I do have only a couple of good ones. Ill tell you one thing Im picking now about allowing people to be my friends. Good Luck and dont get too tired with your weeding.

So far my friends have provided me with plenty of posts to answer and a few to learn from. I have then notify on and that helps me to be able to answer my friends as they post a discusssion. I don't answer every one however I answer any that I have any information for. I hope you take care and do get the quality that you are looking for!!

Yeah, I've delete my fair share of people. The main reason, because everytime I go to the, my friends discussions, option I see the same posts with their 900th response. Naturally I have to delete them for the simple fact that I want to get rid of that post for good!

i lve having friends but they can sometime get annoying and i also feel like just deleting them

dear it works like this your best friends were strangers before you got introduced to each other

Yes, I've had to turn off and on some of my friends notifications lately. That's one of the new features that I've enjoyed. If I get bored again, I can turn the notify me for some of the friends back on or off at any time. Its really a great feature. Doesn't hurt to go through your friends list and change them up once in awhile. Its great to have friends...don't you think.

Well, for me, I don't really need to do any weeding out, because: * Some I already knew from other sites & forums * Friendships started from posting in each other's discussions or the same discussion by others I admit that I rarely start discussions because every idea i thought of, someone else, whether a friend or someone I don't know on MyLot, had already started the topic. Therefore, instead of starting a topic, I just jump in & hope i don't say something dumb that will give me the expression on my face of my avatar.

I so agree. I had to de-friend the girl who kept posting "Do you love me?". HELL NO, I don't love you, I don't even know you, and by the way, that grainy thumbnail pic does you no good either. I do breathe air, I have eaten today, and I am not sad. GOOD GOD! If you have nothing intelligent for a topic, just respond to the topics of others. I really only ask people to be my friend if I see then can make an intelligent, quality response. I feel your frustration.

I weed people out all the time. I hate to open up to MyLot and have 100 new requests a day. They never even answered one of my posts, and I don't know how they picked me. What's a friend for, if you aren't going to correstpond.

yea I am as well..it really does become a bit much and at first I felt bad deleting some ppl LOL but in reality, it just needs to be done pretty much for the sake of whats left of my sanity LOL

i agree with you charms,,, i too have almost more then 70 friends .. but only 2 to 4 gave responce to my discussion... id atleat 50% help me in responding each others mail everyone earn more.. but who gonna tach them... as nearly more then 60% are just inactive i think....
