I want everyone that joins my network to automatically be my friend.

[Shawn Taylor]

I just created a network, and I want to be everyone's friend, like Tom on MySpace. Is this possible without manually going through and sending friends requests?

[Eric Suesz]

Hey, Shawn. We may add that capability. We've had a number of requests for this and/or the ability to auto-message new members. 

[Jordon McGee (Jords)]

Both would be great =]

[Janettee McCrary]

That would be great... But if you do this, we need to be able to have UNLIMITED friends for the creator account.

[Jordon McGee (Jords)]

There's a limit on friends to the creator account?

[Alex]

There's no limit on the amount of friends a Network Creator or member can have. However, there is a limit  on the amount of outstanding friends requests they can have at one time (which we just raised).

[Jordon McGee (Jords)]

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the clarification. And oh look a discussion I missed! Off to read the friends request discussion! Woo!

Cheerio,
Jords

[Andrew Espiritu]

It would be easier for everyone, really...???

I've wondered about this. I think this should work for moderators or admins of groups as well. Members have complained re not being able to send messages to mods of groups they belong to unless they are the person's friend. Creates logistical issue for me since I have nearly 2500 members and the reason I need mods (more than 30 groups) is to manage member communication/engagement. I can't do everything. Thanks for making the suggestion. We need shirst that read, "I want to be like Tom." Would be our inside joke! :-)
