Usually if someone doesn't accept my friend request in a day or two, I'll just cancel the pending request to free up space for others. I may have exceptions if I realize they haven't been online since then, but I find the number of friend requests available usually more than enough.
Maybe you should give a friendly message or something to the other people first or get to know them better somehow. I say this because if you have so many pending requests unanswered, then maybe people aren't eager for the "advertising" requests. Most of my requests are answered within the same day.
For me this is a problem that chess.com does not allow more than 10 pending friend requests.
I mean there should have been 50 or 100 pending requests available.
I have always had it as a gesture that I send a friend request to those who join my clubs, to show that I care, many more than 10 people join daily and then I get left behind and this has been going on for a long time and I have a big lag, as I prefer to send everyone who joins my clubs a friend request, can you do something about this problem of mine?
I now have 10108 friends but there are 19500 members in my clubs, I wish I could send a friend request to everyone as they join/the same day they join.
The record in one day was 250 new members together in my clubs and then this limit of 10 friend requests becomes a long-term problem that I don't like. Is it then not a big problem for chess.com and open up to far more requests?
