Let the Blocking and Removing of Friends Begin

It's easy to b***h and moan about stuff, but it's always a tad bit harder to put your money where your mouth is.

I have reported several Users to Y-guy for TOS violations. I have also Removed them as friends and am Blocking them. I will no longer receive their notices and don't need them as friends.

If you don't want to play by the rules, I will report you. I will remove you as a friend and block you.

Go ahead abuse the system if you want, but if more people take a stand, Report, Remove and BLOCK, I think people will take notice.

It's my Profile, It's My Blog, It's My Decision.

Go ahead and Block Me and Remove me as a Friend if you don't like what I have to Say. It's your Right, It's Your Decision.

Jude	I can hear your call, Eric. I've been banning and removing "friends" who spam the notice board with these messages of trains etc. for some time already. And I will keep doing it.

Katia	Yes, it took me two damn days and it brought some of them some views, but they are gone!!!!! Well I hope... Went from 466 to 250 (I think, gonna wait for the next update) and oh what a releave! Did you know that only the last 2 hours I rejected 12 requests just because their profile being filled with the same crap like trains, powermalls, adders (if those bite there is no return right?) etc.... Just been so sick of it. And now lets go on to the fun part of Yuwie. Eric! did I told you lately that YOU ROCK?

'The Ogre'	Amen, I too today reported a few "spammers" and then deleted/blocked them. That stuff was just getting out of hand. I'm glad to hear Y-Guy did something about it.

valerie	I think adding friends is a good idea but I don't agree with those trains and whatnot. Friends can help bring you more profile views but more importantly is the relationship building process...and in order for that to happen, I think there has to be some commonalities such as a club or blog or stated interests in your profile that matches the interests of the viewer...that is where the real start of a friendship is. I never have understood all those glittery comments and such. As many are quite cute but seems a tad childish to me and does not seem to serve much purpose.

leitopi	Maybe I'm too easy on people, but unless it's someone I'm sure has been on Yuwie a number of weeks, I will send them a message first, and give them a chance to "fix" the situation before I'll go to the extreme of blocking a friend. We are getting thousands of new members every day, and sometimes it takes people a little while to figure out what is going on here. It sure did for me, even though I wasn't spamming. I try to warn my 1st level referral as soon as they get their profile set up, but am sure I missed some of that 227. Come on- moderation..... My motto- to have a friend, be a friend.

~Mao*Mi~	Thank you for the heads up. I however don't feel the same way you do. My views go the other direction. If you don't like what's on my page than LEAVE. It's pretty simple. You do have a choice of who your friends are and if it bothers you .... spamming, pictures, their page is too flashy or they just keep messaging you .. than LEAVE. It's your choice. THANK GOD FOR FREEDOM! I refuse to live in a dictators world including on yuwie. If your friends don't mind what you post then that's all that matters. So I agree I will be deleting all people that disagree with my views.
