a query for those who pay attention to these things

OK, so what are serial adders, and what's the deal with them?

('Cause I appear to have one, and I'm trying to figure out what the purpose of this is supposed to be.)

That's how I feel about it.

I get amused when people have hissy fits along the lines of "somebody I don't know added me so they are obviously STALKING me".

[benton.livejournal.com]

The difference beign is that I *am* stalking people!

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Cool! I've never had a stalker before.

(Well, I had one for a little while. But I told him what would happen if he didn't fuck off, so I think that spoiled it.)

[benton.livejournal.com]

I had a nacent stalker once, but then I started stalking them back, and they got all offended.

Thats more my style than cowering. It is also more amusing.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

That is hilarious.

I like your style, sir.

Some of them have quite offensive names, and have links to sites that are pornographic, and I can fully understand users being annoyed about that. But you can stop them from showing up on your friend-of list by either banning them individually (look up 'console' and 'ban_set' in the FAQ) or just hiding the entire friend-of list.

Hiding the entire "friend-of" list without banning meant that these dumbasses were still showing up when you read your own info. page. Please refer to previous comment about "Nigger" being spraypainted across the front of someone's house.

Being able to delete people from your "friend-of" list by banning is only a recent feature, within the last week or so.

Yep, and in response to this recent problem, though TPTB have been talking about all sorts of changes to the friends list system for a while now.

[eve-l-incarnata.livejournal.com]

My brain has a meltdown every time I see an acronym. What does "TPTB" stand for?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

If I maade a guess, it would be The Powers That Be.

[eve-l-incarnata.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I could only hear the sound that people make when they stick their tongue out.
