I get Friend Requests (aka Contacts) pretty often, occasionally from folks who have never posted on this site.
I used to try to PM them to tell them how my personal criteria works, but a lot of them don't have PM turned on. Besides, it takes time to write a monologue.
I won't reject a friend request for someone who is still active, who has been on for at least a month, but I won't accept anyone who hasn't been here for at least 3 months.
If you are pending (I have 3 so far) I'm just waiting to see if you continue to hang around, or are a hit and run visitor.
The idea of friends for me is one of mutual respect. There are a few here whom I wouldn't accept or make an offer, but that could change as we interact. I will reject a Friend Request by someone who is inactive or just passing by. Many cases they are just wanting to see how it works, being new to VBulletin.
One of the reasons I'm writing this is to have a place to point to when the new friends request comes in.
