Do you accept unknown friend requests in your friendster/myspace account?

you make a good point as to the privacy issue, but as a christian i would have to say, judge not lest ye be judged. my friendship is not measured by the friends i keep, it is measured by the number of friends who keep me. i would never turn down an invitation to be friendly, i offer my opinion to those who might ask, even to the few heathens of this world we call mylot, and believe me i have responded to as many discussions as i feel i can, no matter what the issue, friend to the children of god, we are all the same in his eyes

Well in my case, i usually prefer people who i really know but if somebody invites/request me, it's fine with i will accept the invitation. Anyway, you might wanna check out this site www.perfspot.com

I am on Myspace and when I get a request for a friend from someone I don't know I deny them. I get so many people a day who I have no clue who they are. I am on there to keep in touch with the friends and people I know not to see how many friends I can get that I don't know

well, i dont accept them all. is that bad, i dont think so. some i have accepted i have never heared from again. so i look and see if i pick them if they are active or not

I have less than a hundred on my friends list on friendster. I am not really that active on friendster itself and seldom finds time to open it, add friends up, or to even enjoy the features it gives to its members. But if I do get a friend request, I usually check their profile first... and yeah, if I know them personally I just approve their request right away..but for those unknown people who wanted me to become their friends, I sometimes send them personal messages asking how they got my friendster account and what are they up to. :P

I have my Myspace set to private so that only my current friends can view it, and i deny the requests from people who i dont know.

no man..i do not want to increass my friend list wid those guys whom i do not know.......

well for me i really wanted to be invited even those whom i don't know. The reason is that , i wanted to add a comment or respond to their discussion because i have observed that their discussions are more interesting...

Well, I have accounts at a few online social networking site. Here on mylot, I don't mind adding people as friends when they request me that I don't know because there is no personal information displayed in my profile. However, the only reason I started friendster, myspace, and facebook accounts is to find friends I've lost touch with and keep updated with the friends I currently have. There is a lot of personal information visible, such as personal email accounts and phone numbers and instant messenger names. Because of this, I keep all my accounts set to private, and only approve people that I have personally met. For those social networking sites, I am not out to meet new people because I am afraid of identity theft and spammers and such...I have been a victim of identity theft in the past, and it is not fun at all.

Yeah, I do. There are also some people who adds me up as their friends and I just accept them. I don't mind adding up friends. But if it's a stalker.. then I won't! LOL.. sometimes it's also good to make your profile private for safety purposes ;)

I have received a lot of friend requests in Friendster too. sometimes I don't know who he was. but I always accept them. I'm affraid that I will hurt their feeling. Although, maybe they know me from game online or my sister's friend.. eventhough I don't know them.. -__-a

I have a myspace acct and it's set to private. I only add people and I agree with those that feel that there should be a Myspace etiquette class to follow or something. If you're gonna request to be added to someone who's private, then send a message. They're set to private for a reason!!!

I do....not to compete on the number of friends that I have..but I am just flattered that they wanna be friends with me. By all means! No prob in that for me:) The more - The many-er :) cheers!!

I have private account and a "public" account. So if they try to add me in my private account, I reject them.

before i do.. but i have so many friends in friendster now and i don't know all of them. so, recently i've been scanning who is giving me friend requests before i actually approve it. if i don't have any connection with the person and i don't recognize the person based on the pictures, i would not approve their friend request.

Well, I am on MySpace as opposed to Friendster but still, I never add people until they have sent a message and it is personal and I like them. And even if someone requests to be a friend and is not all about "I make money by blah blah blah" on their site, I still think it is kind of rude to expect someone to just add you without even knowing why they wanted to or what their intentions are in the first place. On that, it just occured to me that I am coming up with MySpace morals. How funny! But I mean really. It is a subculture. Great topic, thanks!

no, i dont add anybody whom i dont know. they are just for my real friends cause adding them is like having a stranger into your house...

Not really, it depends if they are connected with me or with my friends... I accept their invitation.
