Not banned but likely changed privacy settings after sending the invite. 

Also this kind of requests is more easily dealt with if using the contact form.

Removed the request for you.

Since when did that form exist...

i actually thought it to be a technical defect to be fair though, wasnt aware privacy settings can control viability of profiles on there. seems like a minor UX issue if not anything else.

Good joke on the contact form, I am rolling on the floor.

On the privacy settings - once you check it the option to send and receive PMs disappear from your profile and posts, the username is no longer returned on user search, no more friends requests are allowed (from either side) and a few other things.

Could I code something to the like of "if you check the privacy option delete all pending friend requests"? Sure. Never thought of that. But not sure it happens that frequently that requires coding, testing, release control. I can just as well manually remove one record a year...

It was a serious question...

As a QA, I'm forever ensuring my developers do things like this.

Doesn't take much effort to write an automated regression testcase for it... ;)

The contact form exists since... I don't know, 2003?

coffeebaron: @hio77 was so excited to finally get a friend on Geekzone, but alas he has been duped :( lol

It's a tough crowd around here eh? gotta try really hard to find them!

Truth be told, i cleared my missed DM's at the start of this year, so having that message saying "You have a new friend request" was bloody annoying...

coffeebaron: ..., but alas he has been duped :( lol

At least he was not rick rolled. 🎤

Logged into here and tried to add @hio77, then changed some privacy settings... oops.

Fixed that up now, nothing is broken as such 😀
