I would also like this option.
Turn off friend requests or a blocking mechanism for it seems simple enough as I dont want anymore friends and lately there has been a spate of them never head of these peoples.

Sure, why not.

The only problem I for see is the people turning it on and forgetting it and then complaining about not being able to have people add them


but I think those people should suffer, so I'm all for it

I support this; random friend requests seem to be how all the people end up getting scammed anyways.

9/10 it's either scammers or those weird friend collectors. SO, yeah

That would be cool. What would be more cool is creating custom filters. That way I would make a filter that insta-ignores lvl 10 / private inventory / plays only free games - scammers.
