A WORD FROM THE OLD GRAY HAIRED BROAD
I have had several new subs and friend requests. They leave a nice comment on my site and then when I go to their site and they have no profile and no posts.
I wait a couple of days and there is still no post or profile.
I will no longer be accepting friend requests and will be blocking people who sub to me and have a bare naked blog:
meaning no profile and no introduction post.
This may sound cold but I am wondering why someone comes here to a blogging site and does nothing.
Makes me a bit nervious so for my own peace of mind I am doing as I said above.
Thank you for reading
& Granny has approved this announcement:)

makes sense to me.
I agree with the previous comments, but the optimistic side of me wants to offer an excuse as to why no posts are visible on the other sites: mayhap they're private journals. It's peculiar, though, not to even have a profile picture or offer a tidbit of information on the profile.
I let them read all they want but I don't approve friend requests unless there is something there... I think your policy is a sound one!
I don't think I have a profile at all. At least my blog isn't bare nekkid! LOL! You do what you need to do to feel safe and protected, Ruth.
I don't accept invites if there is nothing on their website or profile. And if after accepting one I don't get reciprocity of comments, I delete them after a month or so.
that is a great idea.
Sounds like a great policy -- I don't accept many friends at all these days -- if there's a reason to, I will sub instead and see what happens for a while. I think a lot of FB users think that Xanga is the same -- there , you have to be a friend in order to participate!
Ditto here!
I second your statement.
::double checks to see what my profile says::
I agree that every individual has to do what they need to feel comfortable. I do not blog as much as I think about it (I am a very private person) but I do like reading blogs and keeping in touch... ^..^
I agree wholeheartedly to your post. It's eerie when you go to that person's site and there's nothing ... I get leary about people like that.
@ZSA_MD - I have a couple 'friends' who never leave me comments. But they have an active account and constantly post. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.
@grannys_place You do what you have to do, and be safe.
I don't accept all the friend requests. I have a hard time keeping up with the few I have.
Very wise.
I agree with you. Why should you add someone without knowing who the person is!
I do exactly the same.
I've turned down lots of friend requests these days, even from people who do post. My inbox is already so full of posts that I never read that I'm not about to add more. And someone who is plugging a product or who has never posted is an automatic no.
I, too, do not 'friend' a person if I can't find a profile on them or some other xanga friend recommends them. Not sure if that person is a 'safe' person that may be trying to get into my computer. You are are right for not friending them. I just delete them and then block them. And I've had to do that to a few of them. Some didn't have honorable intentions. You have a good day and enjoy Mother Nature. You have such beautiful and interesting photos. Thumbs Up my friend.
I'm with you on this one, Ruth. Some of these folks are just marketing and want as much info on you as they can get and some of them are just too ignorant or too shy to post anything themselves. And there are probably some really bad actors lurking around as well. And frankly I didn't like getting all those footprints from "evil empire" countries either, as much as I believe in "whirled peas".
