Okay another Mattykovax gamespot centric thread,with a poll!!!

How do you deal with the whole friend thing. I ask because I just untracked a lot of people. I also added a bunch. And made some friends. I prefered the old friends request system,but they got rid of it because of abuse for emblems. yet in some ways I feel this new system is abusable even more.plus it can make you feel like a stalker when you track someone and they do not track you back even when you are not a stalker.(xaos,nocoolnamejim,I am looking at you)

Plus in the old days when you deleted a friend they were gone,now they are stuck there if they do not untrack. Which I find really inconvenient when I take a year and a half off and find out some are banned and can never untrack me.

So how do you deal with it. Do you choose wisely? Or just track everybody? Or track back whoever tracks you?

I weigh them all out,and only track back if i have respect for that poster. So while it stinks when I do not get tracked back,I understand,because I do not track back or initiate the tracking unless I have a knowledge of that person and some respect for them.

And do you have any weird things about it. Like I said,I got rid of banned users,peoplelewho have not posted in over two years,and people i just do not care about. and I have added some. But I will admit,and this is where i say weird habits,its like pokemon,there are certian users I will never get rid of,even if they did get banned. If you were to look at my friends list now(which you can my profile is open) I have on my list some rare specimens such as Omni-slash,sandlot,K-Cube,Chronogearsolid,and the rarest of them all,BT the great 78. these are users I would never take off,even if they got banned,which would be hard because they never post.

So how do you deal with your friends list?

As far as I'm concerned, the only purpose for having friends on Gamespot is to have someone read your blog. But I blog on Facebook, not on Gamespot. So I have no use for friends.

If someone tracks me, I'll add them. I don't really use the site's friend functionality anyway.

I always check out a user's profile first before I decide to track them back. If we have something in common then I will track them but after awhile if I don't see them then they'll get untracked.

Oh wow. :P The friends list is generated by tracking people and having them track you back just so you know. XD

I will track pretty much anyone that tracks me. I will also post in their blogs when I get the chance. Unless I really don't ever look at my friend list / track list so it doesn't really bother me much. :P

I don't have friends on here. I don't even look at people's names or sigs when I read their posts, unless there's some kind of discussion going on, and then they're basically 'Poster 1' and 'Poster 2' until I finish reading that thread. How you even add friends remains a mystery to me, which bothers me not in the slightest. :-)
