New: Increase in the Number of Outstanding Friend Requests for Network Creators and Admins

[Eric Suesz]

Network Creators are generally a friendly bunch, but in the past they’ve been limited in the number of outstanding, pending friend requests they can have at one time. Traditionally, that limit has been set at 100 pending friend requests.

Extra-friendly Network Creators who have wanted to invite more people on their networks to be their friend have had to periodically — manually — clear out these pending requests. To make this process more convenient and to encourage Network Creators to be extra-friendly, we’ve increased this limit from 100 pending friend requests to an unlimited number of friend requests. We’re extending this to Admins and member moderators as well.

This is a simple change that should continue to limit spammy activity, while simultaneously getting out of the way of Network Creators and Admins who want to increase their own bonds with their members.

Would it be possible to have the opportunity to extend this feature to selected members, in addition to NCs, Admin and Member moderators?

Or, alternatively, to add the possibility to raise the pendig requests limit for ordinary members as well? (within resonable limits, say up to 200)

We have a network that is strongly based on friendship and several "community manager" members would deserve a slightly higher limit (but I would prefer not to have to promote them as member moderators to achieve this).

Thanks!
