was kinda requested here but nothing really happened so i thought i'd try revive the idea and see what happens

or maybe a separate section in this page to see who who added you https://osu.ppy.sh/p/friends

EDIT: credit for idea goes to ReZero. I'm just reviving it since nothing happened to it

EDIT: was digging through ReZero's thread,

I've been thinking about adding this for a while now. I have also been wondering if making it supporter only would be too OP and biased .

Also I think this will be a duplicate of a more sensibly named request, such as "friend requests" or "mutual friendship" or something.

Lets hope this still stands

-Cookiezi checks who added him as a friend-

Database gets corrupted.

But yes, this would fall into the nice things to have, but not needed category, so only half-support for now

Add every user to your friends list, and check for mutuals!

Mh. The idea is interesting. But why should other people see if I added them as friends? I often added some BATs as friends to see if they are online when I'm working on my mapset and have a short question about it. And now they should see that I added them? What's the big idea in that? If they like me they can add me and then they'll see that the friendship is mutual. If not it's their decision.
And this sentence "Your friendship is wanted" reminds me a bit too much of Facebook or similar social platforms. I really appreciate another sentence at least.

The "Your friendship is wanted" is just a random sentence given to show a way how the feature could work. You're free to throw another idea as to how this could work if you wish

Wow. Thanks, deadbeat, really appreciate it. I recall peppy saying that he had been thinking of adding this as well, but yeah, nothing seems to have been done about it.

And yeah, the picture was made by me, and it was just a roughly and quickly made pic to demonstrate what I meant.

Love this idea! I was recently thinking about it because I felt like I'd really like to know who was interested in being friends with me so I can communicate with more people! XD

I prefer the second idea much more anyway. Just a simple list which shows that separately.

I'm guessing you want to have this feature on that screen too.
Sounds good actually.

I like this, support

wait, I don't have any stars. :I

PD: It would be nice if you replace the broken hearts with bubbles, fits better imo. I know it's just a rough draft but anyway.

If you guys are talking about some function like "hey I want to add you, wanna be my friend?" which will pop up something to the receiver so they automatically add each other, I'm supporting it. This will obviously require some kind of "disable friend requests" toggle.

On second thought, this would be pretty cool to have.

Could have a togglable option (like the ones on forum Posting moment) that allows you choose whether the other people will be able to see (or not) the "Your friendship is wanted" sentence -- and mighty an additional option in the relating in-game IRC commands.

^ I think a lot of other ppl have this problem just cuz they want to compare scores and know when a pro is online just to spectate whenever possible.

Lol then maybe should have this thing called "stalk him" instead of "add as friend" (like 2 separate things)
Ofc then you could "see who thinks they're my friend" and "who's stalking me cuz I'm cool"

Then again, instead of "stalkers" we could use the term "observers" XD They use it in Deviant Art and I think it's a pretty accurate term :3

speechless.

I'd like to have this feature as well. I think I already commented about it on the previous thread but I can't remember.

I don't like the idea of having notifications when you visit the site or play the game. It should just be a list in the settings panel below your current online/offline friends/mutual friends.

This game isn't like any social networking site where you just add a million people anyways :p

#2 and 3 is pretty much your whole thread. Shouldn't these be merged? The only difference is the extra notifications from #1. Anyways. My post was Responding more to the pictures from the person above me. (the first picture from the mail)

If you add a new column beside the message notification or beside the search button, it would be like this

SPOILER

This panel will go down because of too many characters that panel have. So someone must actually re-designing the webpage, and it's too much hassle

imo , it would be great if you add someone as a friend, a PM will be sent to the person you add automatically. It can be like this

I love editing web pages

But this can cause a spam attack to a certain someone

just an fyi, i'm against notification messages as such since this isn't a social media site. i think a nice message on someone's profile would be more appropriate

Supported:) Like the idea. Why this isn't already added in-game, is a mystery to me. Maybe it hasn't been added because peppy thinks we want more privacy? But then again, osu literally tracks where we are x) Haha but then everyone i stalk will know that i'm doing it x) Jk

Or we could use the term "followers" like a lot of other sites.
