 Description  « Hide
After ejecting and banning a griefer, while I was attempting to file an abuse report, the griefer sent me dozens of friendship offers. These take focus away from other dialogs, so I was unable to complete the AR. I had to submit it without a complete description because I couldn't type in the fields. I don't know if he eventually stopped or if muting prevents friendship offers, but after repeatedly stabbing the "mute" button I regained control.

If I didn't already have his profile open I don't know how I would have stopped this!

Kindly limit the number of friendship offers.

Linking to VWR-2046. It's essentially the same issue. this is worse in some ways since a friendship offer can be sent from anywhere on the grid.

The best solution would be all of these three.

1. Blue dialogs should not steal focus
2. A mute button should be present on all blue dialogs
3. Muting someone should remove all blue dialogs from them, and their objects. I THINK this is already in place, but muting an object does not dismiss dialogs form it, at least.

This happened to me and a member of staff today (who was being physically attacked and I came to eject the culprits). I know that this can be stopped in the short term by acceptting the friendship offer and later deleting the friend, but friendship offers should have a Never option.
