My Facebook Form Letter

[nemorathwald]

Dear [most Facebook friend requests I receive],

I have two rules for accepting friend requests. I must know them offline, or they must show a photo of themselves on their profile. The reason for these rules is that otherwise I couldn't keep it straight about who they are, where I know them from, or anything else.

For instance, because you meet neither of these criteria, I do not remember ever interacting with you, at least under your real name. Thank you for your friend request, but I will decline.

-Matt

Hmm. I suppose that means I should find a passably decent photo of myself, doesn't it?

sounds good. I've added a few people that at first i thought I knew because of the mutual friends thing only to realize i hadn't ever meet the person. (i love it when they claim they've meet me recently via the mutual friends that I haven't seen in months... lol)

its a good policy you've got and I might just have to steal it.

Looks like you use a different criteria when dealing with LiveJournal friend requests.
