Abuse of Friend Requests - harassment, what to do?

[Nicola_M 1,563]

I keep getting one constantly sending Friend Requests - about a dozen yesterday - and I keep declining them all.

Today another one turns up from them. P*ssed off, I sent him a Badge with the message Go Away, Not Interested.

 

They've got 21 badges, so is that 21 other girls that had to spend money on a Badge as the only way to message him to off?

 

What next, if he doesn't get the message?

just build up 50 requests (like "ADD ME FOR GOLD") and they can never un-send request... easy filled list

the only thing you can do is block the players , but you will continue to get the gifts but with message you wont be able to read , in time they will get the message . or you can also turn off your chat in public and only talk to friends in private .  this way you get less friends request and more enjoyable time with your friends .

Thanks 13y1ord.

It's not happening in Chat, it's Friend Requests in the bar at the top of the page, next to the Missions star.

Not sure how I can block them in that, beyond what I'm already doing but it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Next time they send a request don't decline it , if you don't decline it they can't send anymore unless you continue declining it

[Bydo 20,143]

I understand

 

also what I do now is just open the bar and close it , later that day or week then I decline them all . this way your doing it once or twice only for that week . less for you to do every time

 

and yea I use to get them all the time but now I tend to stay in private chats this way no one see's me unless I choose to chat in open

I dont decline the request, I just leave it there.
And i never bother checking the friends list. Anyways

I always accept friend requests so I have no such problems then.

also what you can do is change your account name

 

seeing girls who use girl type names , seem to get hit on more then if you have a plain name . the only time others would know your a girl / lady is if you told them . then your in the same boat of having so many bother you.

"Nicola" never struck me as a female name, in Balkan countries it is a common male name.

[Crip 4,735]

I always assumed you were a guy.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

@ OP Just leave their requests alone. If they've already sent you one, they can't send another without you first denying their previous one. So just ignore it and move on.

So, who's the anonymous player that keeps sending you the friend requests? There's always a chance that one of us might know them. Besides, I'm curious as to who it is.

Yes, though I shouldn't have to.

It's just annoying when his request was declined he keeps re-doing it. :angry:

Going to just close the box as suggested as this gets rid of the icon, and the plus is that he can't send any more. :D

          Accept him; the guy is obviously after you, why not give him a chance and you will decide if keep him or not, depending on how much gold he will drop for you.  :D  :lol:  :lol:

They like refusals? :lol:

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

I just ignore most friend requests, I only add those that are good players and good team mates.

 

Could be someone from the forum. If it's too bad I'd recommend you posting with a non playing account.

Unfortunately, as of yet, there is no permanent solution to your problem. What you can do to remedy your issue is already suggested above - Don't decline/accept their requests, and block them in chat using this chat command: /block username

Your complaint will be forwarded to developers.
