Unfriending Etiquette

I was unfriended in less than a day.

Sent out a few friend requests yesterday afternoon. By bedtime all had replied. When I visited Springfield this morning 1 had left :-o

Was it something I said????

:!:

I'm pretty liberal when my neighbors don't play - and also like to have a few lower level players to help out (as you noted in your 2nd post that someone helped us). Although I don't have that many neighbors, only about 30 now, it is easier to keep track of patterns - some are regularly away for a few days at a time. However, if the neighbor just doesn't seem interested - messy town, never visits, nothing to tap - after a week or two of paying attention to them I do Unfriend. I've only been playing since December 2013 so I'm not an expert at all.

I usually wait for at least 1 week of inactivity... if its someone from the forum I usually wait longer...

Wow, a week is pretty fast. I mean, people do go on holiday without an ipad. I'm not taking my device with me in june.

Maybe they were friending people, visiting for the points, then unfriending them, and replacing them with more friends to get more points...

Perhaps your body odor. Or should I say odour?

:D If a reference to my neighbor/neighbour I just find it hard not to write in 'English' English rather than US English - probably looks pretentious though! :)

Sounds fair to me.

it's your game so delete your neighbors when you want.

i have a full neighbor list but i have no problem deleting any randomly added neighbors to make room for forum regulars. It doesn't matter if they played less than an hour ago.

Hi! Welcome to the forum. Where is the North Shore, USA? The North Shore of Hawaii? I am kinda confused here.

Lol - by the Great Lakes. Hawaii would be more fun...

Usually a couple of weeks, 2 or 3. I don't check too often.

With this lag going on I'm not deleting anyone though, I know some people have a hard time getting into their towns and me on my part have a hard time visiting them. So I don't feel the need to clear out inactive neighbours ATM.

I brought this topic up a couple weeks ago. I delete after 2 weeks of no activity. I figure there are those who go on vacation, etc. Also, I do watch for repeat offenders. Hmmm, maybe they are rich and gone a lot?
