Is there anyway to block a member from your profile? I keep getting requests off one particular guy here who's proflle indicates he's only here for exhibitionism / voyeurism and I really don't want him getting his kicks from my pics!

You can also flag him and list inappropriate profile and repeated requests as your reason. If he sends rude messages, that is another reason to flag.ReactReply - TOTonyJ63Original PosterApr 27, 2011[quote][quote][/quote] You can set your pics to friends only, leave request unanswered and then he can't send another.

I'll have to wait for him to send another request as I declined yet again. I don't like setting my pics to friends only because when I send a request or get one I prefer people to be able to see them. I might have to go down that route though. I haven't flagged anyone before but I might have to if he keeps bugging me.ReactReply

Curt, or CowboyApr 27, 2011You can set them to certified only.
Most of the type you describe are not certified.ReactReply - SU
Sunbeam65Apr 27, 2011Another item to add to TT1's list of potential improvements - when you block a friend request you can never receive another friend request from that same user. I know I've got a someone who has more than a couple times, I've denied and denied and they ask again. Time for a friendly note that says 'no thanks'.

Thanks both.
Curt - I'll check my friends to see if they are all certified first.
Sunbeam - I did message him saying that he was on the wrong site and if he wanted that sort of thing he should look elsewhere.
Just got to hope he gives up and goes to a more appropriate site for his interests.ReactReply - COCurt, or CowboyApr 27, 2011
The obnoxious requestor...
Typically, I'll accept, wait a day or two, then delete them.
They never seem to notice.ReactReply - THThomasApr 27, 2011[quote]You can set them to certified only. Most of the type you describe are not certified.[/quote] Good suggestion. Some of my pics are for friends, some certified, some open.ReactReply

catbirdApr 27, 2011By NEITHER accepting nor denying, they cannot send another friend request

BudApr 27, 2011I would recomend a brief note to him telling him personally that you don't wish to add him to your list and to please stop sending requests.
if he keeps it up after that, FLAG with good reason.ReactReply - FF
FF32404Apr 27, 2011I know some people will say that multiple requests might be because they had forgotten that they sent a previous request which is entirely possible which leads me to wish that this site was like FB in that respect since you are notified on the profile page that a request had been sent. But There are a few who fit the "mega multiple requests" group and I was forced to leave them there. While I can't stand leaving it full, I've gotten used to it. There are quite a few there now and some I eventually will accept, just want to know them a little more first. If you leave them there, they can request till they are blue in the face and it won't matter.

Instead of getting all up set and stressed about it, why no capitalise on the laziness and inability of these jerks, to actually read your profile. Just state clearly on it, that you delete ALL friend requests, without even looking at them, and Invite members to write to you. Ask them to state what they think you have in common, and why they would like to become your friend, along with a request, for YOU, to send -them- a friend request. Then, you no longer need to be annoyed and frustrated at having to look at them all, to sift out the few that may be of interest to you.This will instantly identify those that did not bother to read your profile, and you can just simply delete or ignore them all! :)I suspect that far fewer guys will bother, or even be capable, of writing an intelligent note, and you will have a far better way of assessing, what they are like, and, if you want to respond to them.ReactReply - CD
Cheri Donna DawsonApr 28, 2011After the 3rd reject, I've been lucky. The last one that kept asking for friendship several times and to whom I wrote a note, asked what I'm bothering him for. Some times they get it, and sometimes they don't.

We started something similar about a week ago. We added a code word to our profile and reference to it in several places. It would be hard to read the profile and not notice it. We state: "NOTE: Very few on this site read profiles before sending friend requests. That makes NO sense to us. If you want us to accept your friend request, please: - Send us a message - In that message or subject include the word ###### If you don't we'll assume you're just looking to collect pictures or add names to your list." So far its worked very well for us. When a request/message come in, we know the person has an idea who we are and what were interested in. YMMVReactReply - BA

muskate16May 2, 2011another way to solve this problem is to just dont deny it, leave it in your box, and they can not send another. I ahve about 120 in my inbox currently! LOL, worth a try?

XX Kate[/quote] It's ok but in the end you have to dig through it all to find that one request you wanted to add. I don't have the problem LOL but a friend of mine here did and she is now whittling down her inbox.ReactReply - MUmuskate16May 25, 2011
AGREED!!! That is the reason i have over 300 friend requests in my inbox! The when you do want to add someone, i have to go through the entire list, and it takes forever!!! Kate
