How to block unsollicitated & repeated friend request?

Post by Shobu »

Over the last months, i keep on receiving 10+ friend requests from an unkwown creepy dude with abyssal karma.

- red thumb has no effect
- i don't want interact with him

If you can't beat em join em.

What kind of message would you be sending if you were to accept his friend request? I don't think it could do any further harm? and it would end your predicament that you seem to be suffering from. Just saying.

Do you "ignore" (i.e. actively click on the opposite of "accept") the request? Try really ignoring it, that is look the other way and leave the request pending. Perhaps while the request is unanswered they can't send a new one.

yes i clicked "ignore" several times already, i'm pretty surprised the red thumb doesn't block this kind of interaction, and that this can't be reported!
i could let the invit pending, but i would prefer getting rid of that dude weird vibes

Does adding them to your first list not stop this behaviour?

What do you mean by "first list"?

I thought maybe accepting his request, then deleting him from my contacts could have solved the issue ... but no :|

I'm in the same position (although I have so far "only" got 3 friend request from the user), I'd love it if blocking someone would also block them from sending friend requests. Or if simply ignoring a request prevented the user from sending more (possibly with some timer here or such).

Have checked with Freemind, we are talking about the same person ... i suspect there are far more people "annoyed" by him
"Or if simply ignoring a request prevented the user from sending more (possibly with some timer here or such)."
Do you mean the guy can still send another request while the previous is still pending?

Could a moderator acknowledge this topic? or is it considered a non-reportable behaviour?

There's a similar report but it hasn't been read since its creation in february
