Yo. Tempted to start doing this as its just painful having to delete them all and repeat offenders do my head in.

So question for forum. Do people do this? If so, does it make a difference? Do you find if you put a line about it in your bio people pay attention? Or should I just continue to accept the onslaught?

Absolutely-block if you’re sure you’re not interested -some people can really pester people (and then get abusive) it’s completely normal to block….

Not many people pay attention as they don't read profiles. If you delete a friends request they can send another straight away. If you leave it they can't send another for a month or so (not sure exactly).

Yeah I've had some fucked up and abusive messages from people who refuse to accept that a delete or unread means not interested.

The idea single men are entitled to my time simply because they message me. Nah fam. If I like you and its a good message I will respond.

I believe that if you dont delete it they cant resend. Same as with a wink. Putting a note in your bio makes little difference as people will do as they please anyway.

Bit like the sydney university thing.. bit pointless

I don't even look at mine so they don't bother me at all.The odd time I bulk delete them.

If I could want to be friends with someone I'll ask them and send a fr myself.

Can the ones who send Friend invites see that they've been deleted?

We've settled for keeping friends requests and winks where we don't want to block - as said by others, deleting it just invites another. But we also block quite prolifically.

Helps to have single guys blocked, even though we're interested in meeting single guys - just to cut down on volume. Without single guys it's very manageable

which is a shame but that's how the site is set up.

Otherwise, have you considered a secretary?

Irritating when someone just requests friend when that's the first contact. Especially when you have friends photos and they don't. I delete and block

I often wait till they've gone offline ,accept and look at their pics before deleting.if you leave the request there and don't accept /delete I don't think they can resend one.

I simply ignore random friend requests. I believe it stops them sending another.

If they delete then I assume they are not interested and delete and block myself. It reminds that they weren't interested and not to bother contacting them again.

However, if they post something on 'local updates' or in the forum which invites a comment, I then unblock them.

They can’t request if you just leave the request, so that’s what we do!

Blocking helps to create a platform of people whom fit around your criteria and those who are happy to enjoy many more things not sexual related...

Leave friends requests and winks alone. They cannot reach you unless they actually message you.

Then block them

Do not delete either of the above or they can send them again

They can wink again after 30 days even if you don’t delete the previous wink.

I bulk delete friends requests every week.

I block if people choose to pester me.

Fab should implement something basic, like you should only be able to friend request if you've passed messages between each other? I really can't see anybody just accepting random out the blue friend requests?

Friend request received, open it, view profile, block takes a few seconds but then multiply that and time builds up.

Let the figure rise without looking at any and bulk delete at some point. It’s more efficient and if they send a dozen it makes no odds.

If you receive an abusive message block and report.

The End.

We have specifically stated in our profile if you send a friends request that we haven’t agreed to then you will be blocked. It also helps out the ones who clearly haven’t bothered to read our profile.

We’ve just had a message from someone asking why we have blocked his other profile! What a surprise, it was a single male. I just wish you could out the decent and genuine single males from all the others! The search continues….

Just leave the unwanted friends requests there, no need to block because whilst they remain on that list they cannot send another, ever.

This, just ignore them and they can’t re-add you again either.

I never even look at my friends requests and winks.

Also, I didn’t add any friends pics, and that seemed to reduce the amount of requests.
