Wade_VC Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I dunno' about the rest of you, but a pet peeve of mine are the morons who send blank friend requests. I mean really, is it that agonizingly difficult for someone to say what website or game they know you from? Unless I am expecting someone to send me a request, random blank friend requests just get deleted. How about you, does this tick ya' off or...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had some that sent blank requests and we don't even have any of the same games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ille1234 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Well, sometimes. Ifi know that i, for example, played with them on an online game i feel honored because the obviously added me because i'm good (That goes for all games apart from CoD) Other then that though i don't really care, i just delete them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdi Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I usually put something in the comments. I just feel like it's common courtesy unless I previously asked the person while we were playing the same game online. I'm funny about accepting FR with comments if I've never met the person online or through a gaming website similar to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty_Rory Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Its a good job I have no friends - you only end up wasting precious breath on having to talk to them or energy on having to type stuff.... but with that said the FRs that get me are the requests that are several lines long in a language i dont speak. Then when I google the text it turns out that they are looking but buy my wife or something interesting like that. I can sell her tho as I wouldnt have anyone to cook for me then..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siren_Tiene Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I don't often get them since I only have a few friends and the people from work but when I do it's kinda weird. I just delete them unless I know who the person is by gamertag. Like my co-worker is going to add me so I'll assume the next one I get is him if there is no comment since I forgot to ask for his but in all reality I don't just accept them. However, people normally tell me why since it's almost always for trophy boosting since I helped with LBP a lot when I was working on the plat and they had to tell me what trophy they needed help with.

Artemisthemp Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 The only blank Friend request I get on PSN are ppl from either PS3T, PS3 Trophies Pro (Android/iPhone App) or this website. Should someone I don't know send me a blank friend request will I PM back before accepting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsSpanky Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I hate this as well! I am constantly looking for assistance in games like rock band, little big planet and various other co-op or multi-player games. Nothing is more frustrating than having to ask someone why they are sending a friend request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Blanks get deleted. At first I kept and approved everybody. But I had nothing but 1 timers looking to pad their friend numbers. I deleted all of those. Now, unless we've been introduced by a mutual friend, or I know of you from one of my visited websites, I delete them. I already have a great collection of friends for online playing. True, the more the merrier, but if you can't even spend a few secs to just put in "Member of PSNP" I really can't hit that accept button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadeSplit Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 On another trophy site, it seems like almost everyone has "NO BLANK FRIEND REQUESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111ONEONE" in their signature. I really don't get it. Especially enough to call people that send them "morons". I mean, what is the big deal? What good does it really do you if they type in "psnprofiles" rather than it being blank? If you don't want to add the person, then just ignore it. How can such a little thing make so many people so annoyed/angry? Then again, I suppose people in general are quick to anger. I've received a couple blank friend requests over the years. I just accepted them. Looks like I'm still here and doing well despite doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellerker Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 What settings is best to use when comes to blank friend request without a text saying for which game are they playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreechingOwl Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Quick question, how often do people get blank friends requests? I only very occasionally/rarely get them, I usually delete them as they're from people I met online on games I'm not trying to boost, or they are only a level 4 or something similar.

iraqoz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Actually its different with me. I usually be happy to see friendrequests (Blank or not). But i delete most of them because I dont have enough places in my friendlist. But ofcourse I prefere you add some text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade_VC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Quick question, how often do people get blank friends requests? I only very occasionally/rarely get them, I usually delete them as they're from people I met online on games I'm not trying to boost, or they are only a level 4 or something similar. Believe it or not, I get at least 3 a week..... For me it is more a case that there are a few forums I visit where the persons user name and PSN name are different, unlike here. I for one like to know who it is sending me a request, and for what. Do they just want to hook up, boost...whatever. I dunno' but I just think a quick "Hey, this is so & so from PSNP" (or whatever site), or "BF3" (or whatever game) isn't too difficult a task.

Senshu573 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Coincidentally, I just got a blank request right after I joined this site...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielVT Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Blank friend requests dont' really bother me. If a request is blank I add them if their trophy level is high and or their name makes some sense and or if they have a cool avatar. Note to anyone reading this from this site: If you want to add me as a friend, I would prefer you mention you are from this site. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
