How do I message someone who's not in my friends list?

[tom.trog69]

I would like to get one of the coupons that others are trying to give away, but I can't seem to locate the method to contacting them without sending a "Friend" request. Do I need to do that?

Thanks for any help.

Yes.

Yes, you have to friend them to send them messages.

In this case all you can do is leave a message in the forum/profile they have so they know why you're trying to friend them.

Got it. One of the people with a coupon requested a Friend-ing, so I took it that it's required first. Thanks for the quick responses, evabuddy.

I think they have to be in your friend list to trade as well, so in the end, you'd have to friend them anyway.

Well, you can always chat or trade with anyone inside of a group's chat room, or a friend could set up a chat room and invite someone you don't know, though I guess that's not really applicable here.

If you're in the same Steam group it is possible for them to message you through there also.

Yep. Just completed a "trade" though I came in empty-handed. heh. Have to Friend first to trade. Thanks again.

imagine all the hatemail you could get i'm so happy steam wont allow this

[Raging Panda]

There is a function called block. Personally, send me all the hate mail you want. If mean people on the internet bother you, my best advice is stay off the internet, or keep your ♥♥♥♥ private. Add only known friends. That's what most people do. People don't generally care to bend to an individual's needs, and the internet makes it so they don't even have to care about offending them. Case in point right here :)

It's nice they added this, but for people who want to, myself included, we should be able to disable this safegaurd, just like we can disable chat filters.

No, you're missing a fundamental point here.

As it CURRENTLY stands, with this restriction, you will get the occasional out of the blue contact, and that's fair. But in opening such an availability it would be defrauded to heck. That's the point.

Now YOU might not have an issue with having to wade through messages every time you log on, others might. And that's why.
