Notification of a Friendship request.

If you were to receive a friendship request,what traits would you look for before accepting the request,or would you accept all frindship request?

I must, as a minimum have "talked" with the person in the forums (and considered them not to be a troll )

I usually wait until I've interacted in the forums with people for awhile, so I can see what their like. Usually the women will pm me and say they read my threads and were inspired, so then I'll friend them. But with men, I gotta interact with them in the forums first.. I DO NOT friend the ones who join, and friend me without even knowing who I am..

I always check if they are christian or not, fav bible verse and forum activity

I accept all friendship requests. I sent a friendship request to a troll, but they banned him, lol.

I accept those I've interacted with in a thread. If I don't know you ....you aren't in my circle.
Plus I think it all depends on how someone sets up their profile. Of nothing is on it then it doesn't matter. But if you provide stuff for friends then I'm sure the standard should be higher.

I accept any friendship requested, there is nothing bad that can come out of it - they cannot access any more information that isn't available to anyone else. There is an option to delete if they turn out to be trolls but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I don't accept friendship requests from men. I did accept them before, but the experience wasn't all good.

right on...

I would not have any initial reason to deny a request for friendship but after that I would look at the type and amount of posts by the new friend. Anyone that had a positive interaction with me would remain on my list. I would remove the friend from my list if they rarely posted anything or, with few exceptions, they only did chats and not the forums. Their views would not necessarily have to conform to mine but I would remove them from my list if they constantly disrespected others or were obviously a troll. Take yourself for instance. Based on your posts I would gladly accept your invitation of friendship.

I just accept friendship requests from anyone as well : p But usually the people that send them to me are people Ive had some interaction with on a thread. And many times they are not Christian. Like I have a teenage muslim on my friends list. I of course accept them because we had both talked on a thread, and I want them to know that I am a friend, and not their enemy, and that they have a friend in Christ if they come to Him as well : p

I dont think Ive ever denied a friend request before : p
(for those of you who stated you never accept them from men, a friend request is nothing more than an addition to your friends list, any contact you have with them outside of that is your own choice and has nothing to do with them being on your friends list : p )

That hurts to some degree.

I like that about you.

I like some of the trolls.

You know that the pen is mightier than the sword?

I think I would accept a friendship request from somebody I sort of knew a wee bit about. I don't know how this works for men, but as for me, I have sometimes gotten inappropriate private messages from male "friends".

They could just as easily send you those whether or not they were on your friends list, though : p
