Friend request from Mod here at SDMB

I’ve read but can’t recall the exact thread in which a member here had a friend request from a Mod and seemed to be dumbfounded and maybe gobsmacked.

What may become those who receive such requests? Damned if you do, and Damned if you don’t comply?

Ooh… Thank God for split screen, Megyn Kelly on Chatutbate!

It’s a trick! :eek::smack:

One of the mods (Idle Thoughts?) has posted that he has made friend requests of a number of regular posters for a reason that I don’t remember. So if all this is as I remember, it’s no big deal either way.

Agreed. That offer of “a free warning” is not what you think it means.

:smiley:

IIRC I think he actually “friend requested” anyone who was reading that thread and was interested.

You don’t remember? MAKE SOMETHING UP!

Idle Thoughts adds anyone to his friends list whose name he has come to recognize and who strikes him as being a good poster.

ETA - here’s the entire thread.

You may recall the commotion when Idle Thoughts discovered that my friends all come to my place for my birthday celebration each year. IIRC we arranged a ride share with BigT.

He initially tried to beg off, but I told him that if James Otto Sweet Heart was coming (she’d been banned by then) then he had no excuse.

And so the Master Plan is revealed – they want SD junkies who can never leave. :eek:

We can log out any time we like.

Yeah, I was coming in here to post that thread link that cochrane did, but was beat by him, so…

(yes, he beats me regularly… help)

I confess, I got the friend request today - and quite frankly, I haven’t posted much in the past 4 years. I used to love to post on here - hope you all are doing well!
