Popular Post Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2013 When you delete a friend on PSN, why do you do it? And, approximately how many friends have you deleted off your friends list for these reasons? There are only 3 reasons why I ever delete friends on PSN. 1.) Lack of activity - for instance if a friend hasn't been on in 6 months, I delete them (unless I personally know them). I think this is a fair time limit esp. when I know people who delete them after a week! 2.) SPAM, SPAM, SPAM - It's bad enough to have random people do it to you, but when a friend does it to me, they are just begging me to unfriend them and add them to my block list. For the thousandth time, no I do not want to play Blops 2 with you! In fact I don't even have the game with me! (which is slowly becoming on of my favorite functions on PSN, esp when I get spammed with CoD or Tekken hatemail) 3.) Hatemail - This isn't exactly the same as spamming but sometimes, I just get hatemail from my friends for no reason! What did I ever do to you? In fact, I have NEVER sent hatemail to ANYONE via PSN (or ever in any way, shape, or form as far as I remember). It's silly unless they did something so ridiculously horrible (53 downs in zombies, really?) Now it's your turn! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 My reasons would be the same as yours. Although I have never had any problems with spam and hate mail yet.. but it's one sure way to have me deleting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulTorment Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The first two reasons you listed. Generally my goal is to make space for a few boosters or something. When I try to make space, I look at who has been inactive, or who I never really played with in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The first one mainly. I haven't experienced spam or hate mail. But I do remove someone if they haven't signed on in a few months or a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamepartnersTV Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The first two reasons and..... 3. I don't remember why I friended you and I need to make space. (I sometimes add people and I forget why I added them...) 4. Add person for gaming session and then delete. (We probably are going to meet once and have nothing to do with each other again) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeltorkid Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The 2 last reasons you mentioned and if I don't play with them often and they are those peoples who turn on and off their PS3 constantly every 5 minutes. All those notifications really bothers me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwnica Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Same 3 reasons plus one reason, space, my list is almost full normally so I delete people when I need more free space for new boosting sessions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinoda_2qx Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Inactivity is the main one, so I give it a few months. (one exception is a guy who died 2 years ago, and I just would feel too harsh to delete him). The other biggie for me is spam for psn vouchers. i.e. "Hi this is "Mr X" from Sony, today is PS3's 4th birthday, and if you send this message to all your friends, you will get $10 added to your store wallet... etc" ...really, I can't believe so many people fall for such crap. It's normally not even close to the right number of years. This is an instant delete for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one guy wouldn't stop inviting me to play Borderlands 2 (he even uses modded weapons!) And the spamming is something I totally detest.

HardXDXtraga Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I either don't remeber what game I played with them or just need to make space for more boosters, sometimes I have to add the people I deleted to boost another game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Mainly the first two reasons you have listed. I've only ever deleted one person though and that was due to inactivity for 8 months. I've been quite lucky to never experience spam or hate mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) I don't boost enough to save room for them, plus I only have like 45 friends so space isn't an issue. Inactivity is the main one, so I give it a few months. (one exception is a guy who died 2 years ago, and I just would feel too harsh to delete him). The other biggie for me is spam for psn vouchers. i.e. "Hi this is "Mr X" from Sony, today is PS3's 4th birthday, and if you send this message to all your friends, you will get $10 added to your store wallet... etc" ...really, I can't believe so many people fall for such crap. It's normally not even close to the right number of years. This is an instant delete for me! I give everyone 1 of those and tell them they're fake. When they send me one every other day after I already told them it's fake is when I start to get a little...Delete-y Edited October 1, 2013 by Beyondthegrave07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Scuba Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Havn't experienced spam o hatemail but if I did probably would remove them. I generally play online games only a fraction of the time I game solo so I'm not bothered by much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widow_Warrior Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 for getting a platinum i can't lol not really just for inactivity, never really get spam or hate mail, although i get the latter on here haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyInMyPants_ Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Inactivity like most people, or if I'm really bored I occasionally choose someone at random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetHysteria Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think the main reason, as with everyone else, is inactivity. I'll usually wait a few months beforehand. Another thing that I've noticed mainly with random adds, is people who you don't relatively know sometimes share a lack of common interest which leads to rarely speaking. Although it's not exactly often, I've had it happen a few times. In that case, there really isn't much reason to have them on the list any longer.

Ichiban-Hybrid Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Same as beyondthegrave07 (expect the 1st one) + i don't like hackers as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeztha Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I delete for bein inactive and for boosting. I'm almost always maxed on my friend list but if anyone spams me or sends hate mail then their added to my large block list of ppl. I actually maxed out my block list a while back. A lot of it was from uc2 dlc lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straysheep87 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 inactivity, people who became online/offline too often, spam, and people that send me message with stupid content while I struggling for some hard trophy (for example, I was having a hard time to complete the challenges from Star Wars FU2, and some guy was sending messages asking about my day and stuff, and he wasn't playing nothing in that moment!! some people think the PS3 is for chat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I really only ever add people for boosting sessions, then delete them afterwards. I don't know, outside of chatting on forums, I've never really been into Facebook, Twitter, and all that. I guess my PSN activity is an extension of that. I've been trying to get better at that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimskeleton Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I've only ever had clan or ex-clan members on my PSN list so generally don't delete for any other reason than inactivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrk_01 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Most of the friends I delete are because of inactivity, though I am a little harsher than six months. I delete after two months. Though I have recently deleted someone who I could prove was a hacker, so maybe I will be on the lookout for them also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Lack of activity - If they've not been online for something like three months then there's little chance they'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 When i don't play with you in months or i need room to add other people... my FL is always full, that's why i hardly ever add people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mturismo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thankfully I've never had to delete someone for spamming or being a jerk. My list isn't quite full yet but I'll delete people who haven't been active for 3-4 months; unless they send out a message telling people why they'll be away for an extended time. If your ps3 died or you're going to be in another country for a few months then I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
