All of my friends are people I don't know.

I don't mind, more friends means more views on projects.

I don't think it really matters... All it does is make it so you can see those people's projects more easily.

Isn't there a Suggestion topic about improving the friend system? I can't find it.
Anyway, people just friend people just to see their latest project on My Friends' Latest Projects.

Should be renamed to follower, like with twitter.

Lol

Anyway, my-chemical-romance is right, it is more like "following" someone than "friending" them.  If you don't friend them back (and you're not obliged to), they get to see you projects whenever you upload them, and you're friends' projects' section doesn't get clogged up with their projects.  I view it as a compliment.  If someone I've never even heard of before friends me out of the blue, I just say "cool", maybe glance at a project or two, and judge based on that whether to friend them back.  80-90% of the time, I just delete the message.

Re: Why people should not be able to friend you without you making sure...

well, if its dangerous to be on a person you don't know's friendlist, then I'm in major trouble.

especially since half of the website know my first name.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Re: Why people should not be able to friend you without you making sure...

It is a bit confusing the way it is - it's better if you think of it more like Follow rather than Friend, as mentioned above.

However, this topic seems to be more suited to Suggestions so I'll move it over there for you.

Re: Why people should not be able to friend you without you making sure...

They should just give you the option to turn off the "____ has added you as his/her friend" (or however it is phrased) message. I personaly like having people add me as a friend, wether I know 'em or not, 'cause it means I'll appear on thier front page for making a project with merely an inaminate white background, nothing else. :p

Re: Why people should not be able to friend you without you making sure...

I think that the friend system should be split inti "followers" and "friends." If you just want to see someone's latest projects, then you should be able to follow them and you don't need ther permission. But if you want to friend them, you need their permission.

This is actually something the Scratch Team has talked about as possible when Scratch 2.0 comes out. This is the thread all about it.  smile
