Normally, I would accept a buddy request with any hesitation. However, the person who sent me a buddy request is from New Hampshire. Of course, I don't know the person. I was shocked and surprised to find out that there is no way to deny this buddy's request. I could either click on "Accept" or "Ignore", but could not click on "Deny." Why did GB do away with that? And could they bring it back?

And they just buddy request anyone they can find. I wonder why they want that many buddies?

I just tried it again a couple of moments ago and it worked. So, it seems that someone other than me wrote a message to the GasBuddy admin and/or moderator regarding the issue...Speaking of the person who sent me a buddy request, it seems that the person was sending thousands of requests in one day and throughout as many of the GasBuddy web sites that the person found. Obviously wanted to be buddies with those who have lots of total points. I just sent a message on the person's white board explaining that I am only choosing to be GB buddies with only those who I have met and are from my area.

jrsva Champion Author Virginia Posts:9,830 Points:1,608,250 Joined:Jan 2006	Message Posted: Mar 22, 2011 12:09:55 AM Ignore jrsva Report Abuse My Incoming Buddy Request section has icons for Accept, Deny, Ignore. How is it that yours is different? I’ve often wondered if clicking ‘Deny’ sends a message to that member or just clears the name from my page. I’ve been pretty liberal with accepting buddies. I look at the profile page and then accept unless the person seems like a wacko I don’t want to associate with.
