Trig Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So I just got a request from someone who I have never even heard of before. Their account is 22 months old, although it doesn't look like there is too much activity. I think they are pretty young (and no disrespect to younger people on the forum- I know many of you are fantastic! I was 'younger' not too long ago too- in fact I'm still pretty young). Anyways, they sent me a neomail asking me to please accept their friend request because they love animals. I mean, I have on my userlookup that I love animals, but I also have that neofriend requests are only allowed if I know the person? I'm just not sure what to do because I'm concerned about scamming and things :3 I posted on the neoboards recently- but it was yesterday and the topic is probably long gone by now so I'm not sure how the person knows me :3 And I apologize if you're from this forum and I just insulted you :3 I promise I love all of you on this forum! You're all very friendly- but please just let me know you're from TDN if you send me a friend request :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibi_chibi_tsukino Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Don't feel pressured to accept the neofriend request. For a long time I didn't accept requests at all unless it was a friend from real life. Just politely say that you don't accept neofriend requests unless you know that person very well. They can still send you neomail etc if they wanna chat with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 You could always accept them, and a couple weeks later remove them from your list. :P Or you could tell that user that you would like to get to know them better before being their friend.

Angeló Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I never accept random requests ... people have to introduce themselves first ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 haha thats pretty funny. please accept my friend request because i love animals. it almost sounds like a joke. but it probably is someone who's younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks for your help guys :) I just sent them a neomail saying that I don't accept friends who I don't know, but if they wanted to talk about animals I'd be happy to neomail them. Haven't gotten a response since :3 And I got ANOTHER friend request from someone I don't know the other day. It's weird. Now I'm like neopopular! (Haha. Hardly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulgaraverde Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 That's... a little weird, but it happens. I had some problems with that a while ago, so I just turned off NF requests - that way, if I get talking to someone, I just request to be their friend. If you're someone who does things like friend and unfriend people regularly (like on the habi boards) then it's not ideal, but otherwise it works just fine.

Ravenlovesneopets Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yesterday, this random user neofriended me. I asked why she did that out of the blue, because I had never seen her before, and she said, I quote " I was trying to be nice. My bad.", and then blocked me. I'm still pretty confused.

Lovey Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have a long list of requests that I just leave sitting. I'm not sure where they come across my account, but people just send them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Do you guys enter your pets for the customisation spotlight? Every time one of my pets gets notable I get flooded with neomails and friendrequests... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovey Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I wonder if there are people who just sit there and make screenies of every single notable neopet to send to the owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 there is a board on the premium charter boards where there's people that check all the notables for a couple hours a day and screenie them if they're charter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I never enter my pets in any competitions and I never really post on the boards either. 2 days ago I got ANOTHER friend request- I'm popular on neo for whatever reason and I'm not sure why! Maybe it's cause I've done auctions in the past couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 NF only auctions are bad for soliciting unwanted friend requests. Everytime I put up an auction to lend FQD or Chokato, people messge me saying things like "ACCEPT ME SO I CAN HAS BIDZ!" Then I have to replyy to all of them saying it's for a lend >.<. I figure if someone has an NF auction, it's because they're selling to a specific person. If they weren't, why would they make it NF-only?
