I've got about 40 different app invites, and more come every day. blocking them once I get them isn't a problem, I just don't want to get them in the first place. Much like making sure spam doesn't reach your inbox :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Maybe you just need to educate your friends a bit more about how crap most apps are. I honestly don't get that many any more, I think you are exaggerating. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

____ Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Nah, I have some pretty out-there.... "bloggers" who will partake in almost anything, if they can. Highly tempting to just remove them as friends just to stop the app invites actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Highly tempting to just remove them as friends just to stop the app invites actually I've done that before to people. I am of the opinion that if you are not really my friend and only added me for e-cred and to spam me with app invites then you can go bug someone else.

Mercifull Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 @Rick, just look at the top 50 most popular apps and pre-emptively block them.

Catnip1337 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I can tell you guys haven't used facebook before, or if you have, like Medellin says you have some idiot friends You're insulting many of the tip it users I have on myspace. I don't think they would take it lightly that you're naming them idiots. If you actually read the whole thing, Goddess. Catnip was insulting facebook because it doesn't use their real name. Kido was pointing out that he must obviously not have a facebook because he is obviously wrong. He then added that if he did see that from his friends, they must be idiots. and i best mention i use both, to keep in touch with various people. And when someone makes a facebook application to block application requests - WIN. You have no idea how much that crap pisses me off. I'd rather have people with random display names adding or messaging me than having everyone second person sending me requests for 11ty billion applications every day. Yeah, that is kind of annoying.I don't feel like reading the last couple pages to see what others have said, but from your post it seems as you took what I said the wrong way. Facebook people use their real name. But they also do: John Ilovesouljaboy Wilson. E-gangsters. MySpace is the original and Facebook is a ripoff imho.

In a lot of scenarios, they can be new and improved, and thus making them better than the older ones. Yeah, so your point there are names like that? The ratio of real names to that is what matters.

mrpez Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Myspace by far. Facebook doesn't have any of the cooler features.

unorclan Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Facebook, because on myspace if you have actually seen the person once in their life they add you as a "friend".
