With so many people being concerned with their privacy issues, spam and unwanted comments and remarks it is essential to take the utmost precaution when executing to accept new friend's.
Prior to accepting their invitation I open up their profile in a new tab or window and check out the overall appearance of their site. I realize there many who are just getting their start on here as many of us did, however, it is real easy to usually tell who is here to be sincere of merely collecting names to add to their list. Below are some helpful suggestion's in setting up your criteria for deciding who you will accept and those you will not!
- Does their site contain any content (i.e. blogs, pictures, music etc.)
- Is their site consist of primarily female or male friend's
