Block friend requests - no new requests required

I am sick and tired of having to block 6 -12 friend requests a day from random "Generals" in Afghanistan, or other obvious crooks. I don't need any new friend requests, because all the people I would want to contact are already my friends. Can we have a privacy button that allows us to block all new friend requests, please. This would mean that if we made a new friend that we wanted to add, we could temporarily turn the button on again, and then resume our blocked status. I have family who turn their skype off all the time because they don't want these rubbish requests. This means that I can't contact them without first spending money on my cellphone (overseas text) to ask them to turn skype on.  This is surely not the intention of skype, which is meant to be, and mostly is, a great way to keep in touch. 

No one wants to be your friend?
It would help a lot if you said what app you're talkng about.

  • How do you accept a friend request in the new Game Center with iOS 7.0.4?

    How do you accept a friend request in the new Game Center?

    I have a red "1" showing I have a request, how do I accept it? I have my list of friends, I scroll down and see the list of recommendations (which doesn't tell me they are playing my game), but I don't see where to accept the request sent to me.

  • I got 3 friend request all at once. Just facebook acting crazy. My computor froze. Couldn't move anything. Shut it off. New to computor don't know much. Have an iPad

    I got 3 friends request all at one time. When I realized I didn't know the people I deleted them. My computer froze on Facebook.
    Am new to computers so don't know much. How do I know if everything is ok? 
    Everything seems to be ok now. But I want to be sure?

    Your question seems to be that you want assurance that your computer is OK but you have posted in the iPad forum. Either that or I have no clue what you are actually asking.
    In any event, how can you know of everything is OK? You tell us. Is everything working OK? Nobody here can give you any assurance since we can't see how your computer or your iPad is behaving.

  • What in the hell are all these friend requests?

    So about a week ago, I was getting friend requests from FirstName LastName, and was just deleting them. Now, ONLY LAST NIGHT, I have had 16 more requests. What the hell is this and apart from manually deleting ONE INDIVIDUAL REQUEST AT A TIME for the rest of my life, how do I stop it?
    Cheers,
    Marc

  • Gamecenter says I have a friend request but I don't

    Hello - Gamecenter in my iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3 shows a badge indicating that I have a pending request.  When I load Gamecenter, it also says 1 pending friend request.  However, when I load the "friends" section, there are no pending requests.  This is only happening on my iPhone, even though the same account is on my iPad and MacBook.  None of the other devices have this issue - only the iPhone.
    Any suggestions on what could be wrong / how to fix would be appreciated!

    Sorry for this long thing, but hopefully it helps.
    Have you tried closing the application from the multitasking, then restarting your phone? This could solve the problem. Sometimes our apps just get exhausted and need to restart in the same way our phones need to.
    Have you tried logging out and logging back into game center? This can reset game centers information, which should reset friends as well. This can be found in settings>game center
    Have you verified your apple ID? Since you're on here I'd guess thats a yes but just in case you haven't go here: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Is your iOS up to date? sometimes servers get upgraded with the updates so older iOS versions might not be compatible in silly small ways (like Game Center not displaying friends).
    The other issue could be related to an error my own phone was having. Basically I couldn't add friends (whether I was sending the request or receiving it) or play multiplayer on game center. In that case the issue is in the iPhone/iPad/iPod software itself, which is something we'd all expect (at least I would) when a company creates a new operating from scratch. In this case what's happening is your game center is responding to the iOS restrictions found in your settings menu (even though restrictions are disabled).
    To fix this problem
    go to settings>general>restrictions
    Enable restrictions and choose a password you'll remember in 45 seconds
    Scroll to the bottom where you see the section labeled "Game Center"
    Now flip the switch on both Multiplayer Games and Adding Friends so both switches are green.
    Scroll back to the top and disable restrictions
    So let me know if you try any of that and let me know if any of it works.

  • Massive friend requests

    Hello!
    I am getting a massive friend requests. They look like bots, since they ask me if I am male. I got like 7 friend requests in the last 30 minutes. Is there any way for me to block the friend requests or what's any other solution?

    Likewise, I just thought it was a way of saying "I'm in with this crowd" sort of thing.  Didn't realize it was going to start spamming me with emails from every little comment made by those people.  Fortunately I just went to my preferences and switched off all the emails. 

  • Crystal Reports prompt issue on export: "The report you requested requires further information"

    I have searched through forums for a solution but none seem to work for me.
    I have an ASP Webform/MySql application which displays Crystal Reports.
    The ones which do not require a user to enter a parameter display fine and I am able to click on export on the CR toolbar and download, e.g. .pdf format.
    On the report that require a user to enter a parameter, the report renders fine but when I click on the export button, i get the prompt:

    This is because almost any action on the viewer result sin a postback. This includes paging, zooming, drilling exporting and printing. E.g.; you will have to place the report in session. See the following KB for how to:

  • Spam friend requests

    Several times a week I get friend requests from obviously spam accounts all with a similar canned message, something along the lines of "I saw you and thought you'd be interesting to talk to! ;D"
    I always block and report, but it doesn't seem to matter. I have every possible privacy setting turned on. At the bottom it says "Skype values your privacy" but I don't believe it. I don't know how so many people are getting my Skype name, because I don't have it posted anywhere. The only thing I can think of is that I'm somehow searchable, and I can't find any option to disable that. Until I stop getting spam, I'm canceling my premium subscription, because it's getting that bad.

  • I am not getting any friend request on game center ??

    I bought an iPod touch 4g from the apple website and it was working well. But then the power button and the volume wasnt working so i exchanged it with a new one from the apple store.
    Now the problem i am having is that I am not getting any friend request. I added few people and they said they didnt get anything. I told them to add me, but when they do i dont get anything.
    Please someone answer this question for me on how to fix this problem. I would really appreciate it.
    Thank you

    Hi there,
    Be sure that you have set up your account correctly, and be sure that you have a decent Wi-Fi conection and make sure that your adding the right person!
    If the problem still persists, then it might be a software issue, restore your ipod to factory settings and then try, if nothing has changed, put you iPod into recovery mode (DFU mode) and then restore. If nothing has changed, ask a Genius at the Genius bar at your local Apple store.
    P.S. Ensure that your iPod is running at the most recent iOS (4.3.2)
    Hope this helps!

  • Question about pending friend request.

    I just wanted to know if you can send messages/chat to pending friend requests or people who have deleted you (but didn't block you). I'm trying to chat with someone who deleted me by accident and it doesn't say pending or loading message or anything, as if they blocked me or went offline, it appears to have been sent. Has the message been sent? That's all I'd like to know.

    If you have configure the request based provisioning,
    check the Auto Save, auto prepop.
    Root cause for this, may be after requst there is is some task that is not successfully completed. So make sure about post process after request completed.

  • Game Center friend request problems

    I've tried to add my friend through Game Center and I sent the friend request fine via email, but when I asked her if she got the request, she said that she did and that on her friends list it said that I was added to her list and that she could see the scores on my games and everything. When she removed me, she sent me a request and I never got one. Anyone else have this problem?

  • HT4211 How to accept friend request in game center?

    I am trying to add a friend in game center. I can see the request but when I hit the request the screen goes to my friend list and there is no request present. Alternatively when I try to find him I get the message "Friend request failed. Unable to send friend request". I know he does not have any problem adding friends and this is the first time I have seen this message. Funny thing is it happened right after I did the update to iOS7.1.
    Notifications are allowed for game center on my phone, parental settings are off, and I have allowed people to request to be my friend in settings.
    Any suggestions??

    Nvm I figured it out. Very stupid! Recently changed my password and game center will still run eventhough you didn't change the password for game center as well. Simply restarted my iPhone and everything is fine. Just wish there would have been some sort of notification when I first accessed game center after changing my Apple ID password.
    Anyway no worries all good...

  • WRT1900AC: Can it block DNS requests?

    Hello,
    Can the WRT1900AC block DNS request from devices in a home network to public DNS service like GoogleDNS? Can anyone tell me what steps are necessary to accomplish this?
    I tried to follow instructions found on the web but I could not add static routes under Advanced Routing, I got errors either about the network submask or the Gateway (mine is 192.168.1.1 and is not accepted). i don't know what to enter in these fields and also what Interface to select (LAN/Wireless or Internet).
    My firmware version is 1.1.8.164461.
    I would appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    Thanks for replying. I haven't contacted support yet to confirm you suspicion, My cable modem is a Motorola SB6141. I have done some basic research that indicates that it is not capable of NAT.
    However, I was able to configure a static route in my router,using the cable modem IP asgateway. After this my ping requests to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) started to fail. This is probably still not what I need. I don't understand why I can't save my router's IP as gateway as indicated here: http://help.unotelly.com/support/solutions/articles/193662-setup-static-routes-on-linksys-and-cisco-... This link alerts to a bug in Linksys routers but the error message I get is not "invalid static route" as indicated.
    Thanks,
