completely deactivate the possibility of receiving Friend Requests?

So you can indeed to send more than one friend request. Also I don't believe you get any notification of rejection.

Curious as to what is in the refusal notification?

There doesn't appear to be any, or maybe I haven't waited long enough for it to hit. Friendship requests that aren't accepted just don't show up in your friends list. And the request remains tagged as a request in your friends list until they're accepted or you manually remove them. (I had to remove my original request to rycen in order to resend it.) So if someone is sending multiple requests, they're doing it on purpose.

Maybe Sir Joe should ask the person nicely to stop in email or visitor message. Then if it happens again, report it to you or another mod as harassment or abuse of the messaging system.

He is not contactable. No PM possible, no Email possible.
But as said, I was not annoyed but concerned about misunderstandings.
IF he will do it again, I will slowly probably get pissed off, but I will just ignore or whatever.
After all from what I read I understand that it is not done with bad intentions or will to spam, but with a "distorted reality" perception, on his side, that this is just normal and right. Or I like to think so.
It does not really matter terribly much.

Perhaps. But after a sufficient number of friend requests had been received and rejected, it would be hard not to interpret that as harassment . . . especially as several manual steps are required to resend a rejected request.

PS: Thanks for your help, rycen. :)

Well that seems like a pretty gratuitous abuse of the BF messaging system. Seems like harassment. Its one thing if you could say "leave me alone, please." But giving you no option is not right at ll, to me.

I'd report the individual to a mod.
 
If this is the same person we're all think it is pumping out these friend requests. I had to knock back several from this member my self and ask him to stop openly in a particular sub forum. The mods should have stamped on him for his harrasing members this way long ago, IMO.

Seriously! Having just gone through the process myself with rycen, I can tell you that there's more to cancelling and re-sending a friend request than a simple mouse-click. If you send someone a friend request and they don't respond, the request doesn't go away. It stays in limbo and the person who sent it can see that the recipient didn't respond to it. How long it stays in limbo I can't tell you, but it doesn't just disappear all by itself. The person who sent the request has to cancel it manually to make it go away. And until they do that, they can't re-send it.

Let me know, you can email me back if anything further action is needed. I'll be happy to help.

I don't think it's been mentioned, but you can send messages to any member using Visitor Messages unless they have it turned off. Click on their name and go to their profile, then click the "Visitor Messages" tab (right there with Feedback, About Me , ect).
 
If it becomes an issue just leave him a visitor message. If I get another one from him I will be. Chances are he is or will soon be aware of this thread and may just knock it off.
 
Does anyone actually even use the friends feature? I'm thinking about disabling it just to see what happens.
