PeteM Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I was wondering if you guys had experience of brand new members requesting to be your friend on RWG.. I had a few in the past... a good while back... I had one yesterday.... from a new member with no posts... no nothing I checked his profile and a couple of senior members were showing as his friend.... I guess because they hadnt selected the option to aprove friend requests..? I aint got a problem with guys doing that at all..... I aint got many friends in real life so the more I have on here the more liked I feel Seriously though.... I wonder is this 1) A sad guy like me wanting to be loved 2) Someone looking to scam other members.... by building a profile with known members he might make potential buyers think he is legit... 3) A banned member who I know, re-entering through the back door or something else? I know if it were 3) I would know before hand though I have sent this guy a polite message... not had a reply yet though.. Any one with similar experiences or knowledge.... that would care to share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I had one a couple months ago, and after a few days I pm'd him to ask why he did that. I never got an answer to my question, but he seemed like a nice guy. He said he was going to start posting and get involved..but he never posted in the forums at all.. and then he disappeared after a couple weeks. Sure made me curious..like you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I wonder is this 3) A banned member who I know, re-entering through the back door Did he offer to kiss you first? I usually like someone to give me a kiss before they enter my back door... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYl9nNIoz8o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Subbie..... my back door is always open... though it gets jammed sometimes... so I find a bit of oil helps... also get rid of the squeak Plus I always find a kiss makes me want to ask their name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Pete, I used to get friend requests all the time from people I didn't know (and usually with 0 - 2 posts under their belt). I finally enabled the manual approval filter on my profile to at least allow me to review these things prior to being added to my list. I've always wondered what the motivation is to do such a thing... But #2 is what I've always suspected. Call me a cynic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I dont have to worry about such things Pete...no one wants to be my friend. That being said....I prefer flowers...got to watch my sugar. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 What I have noticed on the friend requests is that there is no rhyme or reason. Sometimes they come from people who have been around for a while and sometimes from noobs. I still have yet to figure out what the purpose of it is.

mastrmindalliance Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 This made me think of a strange thing (or rather, suspicious) has been happening with with my latest sale. I've gotten half a dozen PM's from members with zero posts making offers on my watches. At the first one i wasn't surprised, but after the 5th or sixth, I wonder if its a scammer or TPTB... This is happening across two forums - here and RWI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
