Ok. I guess I am going to have to put something in my sig refusing random friend requests. Up until recently, I have never minded it. I like making new friends and helping new people accustomed to the site in general. However, over the past few weeks since the friends@gaia was reintroduced; I've gotten spam up the ying yang. Half say this is not a chainletter, when it is damn well a ******** chainletter. If it says send this to everyone on yoru friendlist, or if it says if you dont' send it "yadayadayada" will happen.. that MAKES IT A CHAINLETTER!!! scream Are people really so dense that if it just says it's not a chainletter that it disqualifies it? Did they just fall out of the turnip truck or what? i mean.. that is sooo stupid. Who thinks that way? Don't let yourself be someone taking part of this. SPAM AND SENDING CHAINLETTERS are a violation of the gaia TOS. They are punishable offences. I don't mind letting some slide; but the volume I get lately.. no more. I have been reporting people, and I will continue to report people. And, don't send me "i'm cleaning out my friendslist" just so people will send you pm's. That is spam. evil Some people are just randomly aksing to be my friend. If you don't talk to me.. then you say you'll remove me.. then just ******** remove me already and get it overwith. I don't want 50 pm's to your entire friendslist about the whole thing. If i get more than one, i'll take you off my Flist and put you on the ignore list.
Wow, does it sound pissy much? probably.. I'm just really sick and tired of it. Rather than put this in pm's.. it's here where anyone who is stalking me or gives a s**t will see it. Don't know where some of these people find me anyways. Probably what i get for submitting an avatar to the arena with pretties on. Happens everytime i put up something nice for sale in the marketplace too... I put a note in there about the behavior.
So, yes, this is a rant. And, my journal is the most appropriate place for it to go; while I am considering to also put it in my profile page for those who don't come here and only there. And, if this entry offends people.. then be offended if you want.. just please don't only be mad. Do your part to help deal with this problem.. report people.. if you say, well it puts stress on the moderators. Hello! Earth to people.. that while mods are just users like us.. the point of them being mods nad not just users like us is to in fact deal with this stuff.... maybe gaia needs a category of mods who just deal with issues like this?
PS: Also do not send me pm petitions. There is a petition FORUM. Use it.. it is there for a REASON.
