The ability to block friend requests

[Dicehunter]

This is to Steam devs if you guys actually read this sub... I know it's not an ability now but is there any chance you guys could add the option to allow us to block any and all friend requests.

I know Steam isn't social media but Facebook has a handy option that removes the "add friend" button from your profile if you don't want anyone outside of your friend circle adding you.

Example -

Who do you want to be able to add you ?
-Anyone
-Friends of friends
-No one

What with scams and cons increasing everyday, More security options aren't a bad thing.

friend requests need to be improved from top to bottom.
as you say, option to block them entirely.
but also needs improvements to how they are sent, such as adding context automatically like "you played X game together" or "you were in X forum thread together" etc.
plus slap big unavoidable warnings of "add a nickname to friends so they can't try to trick you by changing their user name" and "here are some common scams to be alert of".

always fascinating to me... noticing which threads the forum dwellers DON'T reply to 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Does that include you not being able to send them?

Are you excluding yourself for any particular reason from frequenting this forum?

Yes, it would be a welcome addition. Nobody should be forced to receive those useless "friend" requests from anyone here.

blocking friend invites would be great, so would a overhaul of the block feature itself.
