I'm not sure why, but the last few days, I've gotten several friend requests from people I don't know. Is this some sort of spam technique or something? I haven't posted anything recently, so it's not like there's a reason that strangers on the internet should suddenly decide to like me. At least, not on this site. Anyone know what's going on?
I think some people just like collecting as many friends as they can, I've seen people with hundreds!

It's probable that your account showed up on the recommendation list for some members.
I started this thread because I received 4 or 5 friend requests at random from strangers. Since then, I suspect people are seeing this thread and just sending me friend requests to be annoying, so I'm getting dozens per day.
1. Is there any way to auto-decline ALL friend requests, without needing to even see them? Getting alerts every 10 minutes is just annoying. I've already blocked chess.com from sending alerts to my phone, but I've got a tab open at all times on my computer's browser waiting for my turn in daily games, so it's still annoying to get constant unnecessary alerts.
2. Mods, please flag EVERYONE who has sent me a friend request since I started this thread for harrassment.

You can disable friend requests in settings. For 2, moderators can't do anything like that.

Lol, 1012 as I write, probably higher still when you read it! 😅
Out of nowhere I am suddenly getting loads of random friend requests. I've had more in 1 month that I have had in the 14 years of being here. I am not that active, so something is up I'd say.
