Can there be an option to "ignore" friend requests instead of outright rejecting them? I feel bad whenever i do so sad.png

or like a way to reject, but doesn't tell the person that you rejected it

Settings -> Privacy -> Allow incoming friend requests     switch off

yeah it's something mean like "XYZ has rejected your friend request"

I do not believe that the person that sends a friend request is notified if their request is rejected or denied.

yeah you can do that in live, but it stays as an annoying notification in the top right outside of live

I’m pretty sure they don’t receive a message...

Oh I just tested it, apparently they did lol

i could swear it used to say rejected though

I stand corrected then. I don't think I've been rejected out of the thousands of friend requests I sent. Most of the time people will just leave them hanging and not accept it and eventually I'll delete the request. Thanks for the update.

thats only in live i think

cuz i just tried it now with my umm...brother's account ...didnt show any messages

Commando-Poppins

Yeah I think it's only in live. If you're on the web browser and you're in Daily and you send a friend request and they reject it, I don't believe there's any message sent back to you saying so.

Commando-Poppins

No don't be sorry. I'm a self-professed friend hound. And no I don't see any rejections. It doesn't affect me whatsoever if somebody accepts it or not.

Commando-Poppins

I send out so many requests that I don't really remember who I send them to. So if you get another one in the future, just reject it with a click.

It is just someone asking you to befriend online for a few games, not an ex girlfriend . You don't need to feel bad about it pal. If you ignore them they will be ok I am sure. Good luck with your chess. 

Best wishes my friend

When you reject, its the same as ignore. We do not send them a message that you rejected them.
