myspace ettiquette?
Permalink Closed


I have no idea where to put this post, so I'll just put it here.


Anyway, an ex of mine just gave me a myspace friend request.  I find him totally obnoxious and boring and self-important and tedious to talk to, so I don't really want to add him as a friend.  But I don't really care that much either way either if it means being really rude to someone.


Would it be terribly rude not to accept him?  Do I just ignore it?  Or do I just click Deny?  I'm not sure what myspace ettiquette calls for.

Well if you add him, it doesn't mean you have to talk to him, right?  I'd just add him and if he ever messages you, just ignore it.

its funny b/c my friend and i were just talking about this... he adds everyone who asks to be his "friend".  i, however, am extremely selective and only add who i want too.  if you deny someone- you just don't get added to their friend list.  they get no message saying that you denied them!  which is what i was kind of worried about.


i keep getting random people i knew in HS asking to be my friend.  some of them i would rather forget... so i deny them!


deny deny deny!!!!

Hmmm... well i generally IGNORE people I don't want to add.  But if it is even a mild acquaitance, I will add as it is better than to outwardly DENY them (which they get).  It's not like they really "say" anything to you if you're not truly friends or involved in each other's lives i find.  But i definitely DENY people I don't know if I really don't care for them at all.  HTH

Well, I added him just cuz I felt like it'd be rude not to.    I'll just ignore him if he messages me.

I just think it's creepy. Maybe because I'm new to the whole myspace thing. How'd he even find you???

ETA: I'd feel like you do too though - I hate to be rude.

He probably found me by searching for me since we didn't go to the same schools or anything.  *shudder* 


There's not really anything wrong with him, per se, but I just find him tedious to talk to, even over IM.  He's just the one-upper type and now that he's married and apparently has a kid on the way, I'm sure I'll hear about it.

my friend assured me that they don't get anything if you deny them... thats why i deny a lot of people that i'd rather not talk to anymore (namely HS people).


are you sure they get an announcement saying that you denied them?

They don't get an announcement but IIRC they can check their pending friend requests and see that you denied, accepted, or did nothing with their request.
