Friends and Foes?

Post by Ming »

Er, what exactly happens if you add someone as a friend or a foe?

I've been adding loads of people to my Friends list - are they notified when someone adds you?

It does seem like a good idea, though.

Click on anyone's name - there are two links - Add to Friend and Add to Foe.

BTW, I have added you as a friend, Jools. :)

Yes, I must admit I wondered about the 'foes' bit - it seems a bit strange to mark someone off as a foe! :roll:

I've just seen in FAQ that posts by "foes" won't be displayed by default. :?

Yeah, I'm not really sure what the "foe" feature is for. I guess it is designed with bigger boards in mind where a lot of arguments and fallings-out take place. If you fall out with someone, you can add them as a "foe" and it will hide their posts from you and block their PMs. I don't know. We're a very happy and friendly bunch here!

Hmm...

I've been wondering that why should there be a "foes" section on these forums - since we all are like friends. In fact, I just think of the members of these forums as my second family!!! :)

I guess my only foe is Ming! :P :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink:

Just kidding!! :lol:

Oooooh! I was only joking, Ming!

Personally, I am rather glad to see someone of my age on these forums... :)

I feel surprised that although I joined in July, (less than a month) I feel as if I've known the members personally. I am a member of several boards (including several Harry Potter and Lord of the Rigns forums) but I have never felt so much of gladness browsing through any of them, compared to these wonderful forums! :)

It doesn't block PMs from foes. I foe-d Nigel for sometime (sorry old pal - you will forever remain a friend, don't worry!) but I got his PM okay. I noticed that the PM was marked with black, though.

In my UCP, it says that "Personal messages from foes are still permitted"... :)
