Steam invites...

[Jarhead0331]

Anyone else getting an unusual number of steam invites? I've received 2 over the last 2 days and the names don't ring a bell. One there does not appear to be any mutual friends or anything indicating its someone from GH. The other is a private profile, which is something I've never even seen before.

I've gotten a few over the last couple of months.  If I don't know you.  I don't accept the invite.

I get them and ignore.

i got two in the past month but those were from very well know Grogs from the forum  O0

I get one from some private profile every now and again, which I just ignore.  It isn't as bad as the days of Yahoo Messenger!

Private profile = get lost

Public profile = Are they linked to anyone else I know? Do they post? Do their posts seem rational? Are they interested in similar games? = if all or most = no the get lost

And yeah - I've had maybe 2 or 3 this last month

I have not received unusual steam invites, but over the last week or so I have received security messages saying people have been trying to access my account from different places such as Ecuador.  Luckily steam has that security process where the actual account owner gets the message and you have to approve it with the special code so hopefully my account is OK.  Of course I immediately changed my login information.

Previous to six months ago, I only got invites from people I know.  Now it seems I am getting 2-3 private profile invites a week.  Some of them have names that are 'unassigned'.  I accepted one several months ago and then sent several text messages to see who this person was.  They sent a message about steam trading with a web link that was obviously an account hijack scheme and then they immediately unfriended me.  Now, I ignore all friends invites unless I can scan their profiles and see what games they play.

Why do all you people keep ignoring my STEAM invite?!?!   

[Toonces]

Heh, I'm as unpopular on Steam as in real life.  I haven't received any invites.   :(

[Toonces]

LOL @ JD!   :D

Well - I didn't want you to get a complex.

Besides - it might do my image a bit of good to have a surfboy as a "friend"

Since it was brought up, I thought I'd hammer away at a few of you I've not previously hoovered up into my Steam friends list.. so expect some more..

I sent Toonces an invite before his love handles start shaking in despair.

Got an invite from panzerde a few days ago, which was surprising given I'd thought we were already friends on Steam.  It made me wonder who else I'd overlooked; I think with so many folks here being part of the Steam GH group, I got lazy.

Incidentally, I can't believe I didn't have you on my list til now.  ???  Talk about oversights!
