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.)

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.

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

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

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