I'm so sick of getting like fifty random people in sandbox every day offer friendship. I've never met them. I never spoke to them. Half the time I can't even see them. Can you please have a checkbox somewhere, "Allow friendship offers?" or something, please?

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

Until that happens, I'd consider getting a titler, and setting it to say, "I don't accept friending" or "Don't friend me", or "Piss Off Luser" or "Drop Dead You Pathetic Snivling Scumbags I Hate You All" or some other phrase designed to discourage people from arbitrarily friending you.

*big watery eyes* will you be my friend?

*stamp of approval*

Can you set SL to ignore friends dialogues in the settings area? I know you can do it with some-things like being pushed.

First they don’t like the "friends" option. Now they are upset that it is available for the peasants to disturb them. Do you have to complain about everything?

How about an enemy list?

I wonder what happens if someone tries to friend you while you're in busy mode.

How about turning off your sign? How about just hitting no as a reflex action?

No, but happily I have the right to.

Having a titler would encourage some people to do it anyway...

Busy isn't the answer. It's a pain to have to set busy and turn off a bunch of functionality when what you really want is more flexibility in the privacy settings.

A on/off toggle would be perfect.

My response is "I'm sorry, but I only accept friendship from people I have gotten to know.. and I'm really tied up in this project right now." Keeping it handy for copy & paste is nice too. Of course I do all my work in my private sandbox :D . I can't imagine how crazy it gets in a public one.

Is there a compiled list of all the changes people would like to see to the privacy settings anywhere?

Ohhhhh! i like the 'Enemy List' Idea. and with the same allowances of dropping things on them unaware , could even organize into group folders.

I remember ideas of color coding name plates. It would go good with this Enemy List idea.

Red Name = On Your Enemy List
Orange Name = Neutral (not on any of your lists)
Yellow Name = On Your Friend List
Green Name = A Linden
