ST Poll: What are your Facebook friending rules or do you just accept anyone?

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Dec 2 '09, 10:56

1. Kids are put on a restricted kid list where they can't see most of what I post other than photos since I do take pictures at my kids activities that often have other kids in them. This is an addendum to the previous no kids rule.

2. No ex-fiances

Responses:

no co-workers, and if i don't feel like i 'know' you, i may accept but you'll be on the limited list. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 2, 11:42
I only friend hotties. -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 11:18

    - You're joking, right? I mean, you're one of the most prolific STers. -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:16 2
      - So? (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:18
      - He actively avoids myself, Amy and the Bub when he is in town. - Spawn Dec 2, 11:17
    - overexposure does wonders - Roger More Dec 2, 11:15 2
      - Well, that is her ST formula, so why not? -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:16 1
        
        is wiggum going to have to have a word with you about bees? -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:19
  - ML's friendships have to be *earned* -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 11:08 3
    - Kilbo will wear the Adrian Peterson mask. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:09 1

    - I'm sure I can blackmail him with something -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:09
If I don't know who you are from either your name or picture I don't friend you. -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 11:05
I don't use Facebook at all. (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:04 2
- yeah, but you won't even meet with us in person so you're weird -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:05 1
  - I've never met you people....as far as you know. (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:06
I have unfriendede one person and declined an invite from one person. Otherwise, I'm pretty open. - TWuG Dec 2, 11:04
I'm pretty strict. At least two meaningful in-person meetings (ST is exempt :)). No coworkers. - con_carne Dec 2, 11:02 3
- (You know, I think I got that two meetings rule of thumb from mandy. It's a great rule.) -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:05
- I should have included : "No current coworkers". I have friended people I used to work with -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:03 1
  - Yeah, same here. Former coworkers are OK. Just not current. -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:04
I know people who have two FB accounts - one for everyone and one private. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 2, 11:02 3
- redundant. They're just too dumb to utilize privacy settings. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 11:03 2
  - No, for example, one FB persona for your professional life, and another for your crazy party life -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:10 1
    - Yes, exactly. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 2, 11:18
People I know, mostly with whom I have been friends or have worked with. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 11:02
I don't facebook. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 2, 11:01
I don't just accept anyone. I tend to put people in limbo while I ponder how much drama they might bring into my life. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:00
I have to know them - or at least know of them. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 10:59
Pretty much accept anyone I remotely know....then cull them as I see fit in the future. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:59
if I haven't talk to you in 5 years, there's probably a reason why -- nm - sycor Dec 2, 10:58
No d-bags. - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 10:58 1
- "And yet you won't tell me!" - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:06
Family (aside from peer cousins) only see my basic info and interests, no pictures. Everyone else sees everything. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 10:58
I have to know them, have the same name as me " Epiphany" or be real good friends with someone I do know - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:58
I get a lot of stray requests, so I'm pretty stringent. The only gray is people I grew up with but haven't seen in years. -- nm - David Dec 2, 10:58
You know... I should have a restricted list. That's a good idea. I friend most people I know and do not dislike. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 10:58
If I don't know who you are, I don't acecpt your friend request. - znufrii Dec 2, 10:58 4
- that -- nm - Jim Dec 2, 11:02 1
  - that's pretty much it for me too. -- nm - Jim Dec 2, 11:03
- I always send out a "where do I know you from" message. If they give a legitimate way we met irl but I forgot (ie drunk), then they pass the test. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 10:59 1
  - If I can't remember, and can't figure it out, I don't bother asking. - znufrii Dec 2, 11:00
