This may sound like the most arrogant thing ever asked but I really
really don't want it to be taken that way. How do I get people to take
me off their favorite list? I mean there are people that have me on
their favorite list and I have no clue who they are and have never
emailed them or anything and some I would prefer not to get to know.

I hope this doesn't sound mean or anything I didn't want it to . But I
could use the help if anyone know's how to do that. Thanks

I can't answer your question, but it raises a question for me: are you
able to *tell* that a particular person has you on their favorites list?

I've been adding all kinds of random people to my favorites list, not
even people i want to meet or talk to, just interesting profiles, i
didn't think anyone (other than the site owners) could know who i have
on there...

Mass - Yes, when you add them to your favorites list, it pops up on that
persons profile that you have been added to their favorites list so they
now have you added to their favorites list. It is not an anonymous
thing.

And Simple - it is annoying, at this point no way to delete them.
Vanchau, one of the administrators said the other day he was going to
look into a way of deleting them if we didn't want them on our favorites
list.

Thank you, Marie, for the heads up! Thats a little embarrassing, maybe.
I'll just be taking all these strangers off my favorites, until i
understand this more - and use the bookmarking ability of the browser
instead.

So if someone marks me as a favorite, I'll be forced to see them in my
favorites? I agree with you guys - the software should allow me to kick
off unwanted people from showing up there.

Yes, from what I understand, when somebody adds you to their favorites
list, they pop up on your favorites list - I have five people on my
favorites list - only know 1 of them, have never heard of the other 4
and never talked to 3 of them finally e-mailed one of them to see who it
was. But there is no way for me to delete them from my end. I think
they should be like the friends list and give you the chance to accept
or decline before they hit your list and stick.

Vanchau did come on a day or two ago and said he would look into it, so
hopefully he will fix it.

I have never added anyone to my favorites list, yet there are 5 on
there.

Have a good night.

the 2 lists are differnt the who has you on their favorites is on your
my acct. page in the middle.
where it lists
Emails
who's viewed you.
new friends invites
invites pending that you've sent.

the your favorites list is up on the bar under the tabs..
you can delete those there is a [x]

Mass just send people a note to say why if its not too bad a reason.

Thanks again for the further explanations - I never noticed that link.
I can see why you might the ability to clean up that list - basically
mark people invisible to you on that list. But are we also talking
about blocking people from having you on their favorites list? Making
you invisible to them?

It doesn't do any good to block them.
it doesnt change anything.
there is another thread on this deeper in this sec.

Mass I'll go add you to my favorites.
then look at your my Account page you'll see it in the middle

ok!! I added you to my favorites list. I think you can only block them
if they Email you or you report them.
the 1 guy I've sent notes to he never responds back i see that he reads
them. I blocked by the list on the bar. it didnt remove him so i
unblocked. hoping he would write. now i just dont go in there..

I didn't mean 'block' to be confused with 'blocked users', i meant to
ask whether people are suggesting we prevent people from being able to
add us as their favorite. Which is a different thing that simply
removing them from visibility in our "people who have added you as their
favorite" list.

In other words:

I want (a) to be able to edit that list, so i don't have to see certain
people.

But it sounds (???) like simple wants (b) to prevent people from having
her on their favorites list.

Right now, one implies the other - but the creators of this cite could
set it up so i can remove people from being visible on my copy of that
list, and the people i don't like could still have me on their
favorites. I mean, if thats what people wanted.

But if this has been discussed in more detail elsewhere, maybe theres no
point in discussing it much further here.

Thanks again, marie and catchme, for the info.
