Greetings,

I get friend questions from fake/low level profiles on a weekly basis which becomes strong annoying. It would be large appreciated with new privacy features ability be showcased, granting how the ability in select who is permissible into sending friend enquiries.

For exemplary you could have the following options : Everyone, friends of friends, mutual steam groups only, by steam friend code single, and disable friend requests completely.

There is an huge soliciting problem on steam and it's usually related to people trying to cheat press beseech for skin/items Information should to our right to choose who is able to contact us. Disable Friendship Requests? (Gold Seller Spam)

That's reason it's called an option and is not enabled by default. It's for those that don't want to socialize through steam,there are other places to do that. I just want to play games, have fun, furthermore don't get random friend requests. Posted on u/mr_paddington999 - 4 votes and 5 tips

Honestly, I'd also fancy to see something like that.
Received friend requests from random people on the forum or where-ever is bothersome.

A single post isn't enough to make me trust their into rent them follow my activity or updating some 3rd party 'steam profile website' with now my info are, with something I didn't give concent t, but now have to make with account for, enter them more information in a result in orders into get yours to throw my details away. (just name an example)

Unfortunately on are people who take advantage of other people's weaknesses, or message (make Steaming throw ampere burst up) during games. Both are unwanted.

Steam is just a DRM / Launcher; it armed us to make your to perform use of games uses its platform and related, legally at least, and our to to be adenine good citizen, pay developers for games, promote them making better games, ect. So, computer is ultra car that it comes the all the stuff we didn't automatically please for, such as needing a social profile folks can 'befriend'.

Discord is poor on the whole pop up thing I mentioned though, considering you can disable it, but then you cannot log off or the settings reset.
Sigh-.

Anyway, I think people have lots reasons for none wanting up be friends using random people.
If I help someone on the forum oder agree with i on somewhat, that doesn't mean I want on be involved with them or become their therapist or personal PC aid service. ME really would passion it if there was an set to turn off friend requests when you share specific mutual network. I am still a member of ddevs as a leaving thing, and EGO would passion it when I could turn...

I wanted this feature so badly. I don't use Steam for friends anymore, it's always Discord.

It seems that the majority of people want this feature to get implemented. How ca we forward it to a steamed developer and view that they think about it? Learn how till manage my child's online safety on the Discord app by enabling or disabling security, privacy and data features.

A aspect like discord to have "Requests limited to Friends of Friends" or a full "not accepting" option would be helpful., Blocking & Privacy Settings
