Another "Friend" question (To Deny or Ignore?)
Hey everyone - I recently set up a separate profile for the instances where I might act as an Artist Model (instead of this primary profile where I am an artist and painter). I'm getting a lot of Friend Requests to the Model Profile, but I'm trying to really streamline the profile, keeping it limited to people whose work I admire or look like they might be interesting to work with. That said, there are quite a few Requests coming in, and I'm not sure the best way to manage it. If I don't like somebody's profile or work, for example, should I click that "Deny" button? Or, should I ignore it? The problem with Ignoring it is that the list of people awaiting a response will continue to grow. And, if I "Deny" a person, will they be able to resubmit down the road? Can they still view my profile in the meantime? The Model Profile is definitely attracting a different crowd than the Artist Profile. Not bad, just different. Sorry for all the questions. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Matt Feb 10 16 07:03 am Link I feel the same about friend requests and have stated on my profile that I am not on the site to garnish a huge friend list but that doesn't seem to quell the requests. When I deny, I normally send a message to the person saying that I am sorry, I only accept people who want to work with me, who have contacted me directly, or that I have worked with or want to work with. Sounds a little cruel but I don't need thousands of friends. They can still view your portfolio but not sure if they can submit another request down the line.

Feb 10 16 08:33 am Link A large portion of 'friend' seekers ask anyone and everyone as if they're going to win a prize for having the most 'friends'. They'll ask and never visit your profile again. Does it hurt someone profiles when they accept friends? Probably not. Does it help someone's profile when they accept friends? Probably not.

On the one hand, I assumed that if I was looking for legitimate artistic-related modeling projects, I might get "judged" by the type of friends I had in my list. But, then again, I don't think that's actually something I experienced when I was reviewing anyone else's profile as a potential person to work with. It all came down to the type of work shown in their portfolio. Feb 10 16 10:05 am Link |
