I don't know much about coding, but adding something simple as that can't take soo much time to add.

And its obviously not just a personal problem of mines. People do friendlist cleaning pretty commonly.

Like its been said before, just keep your friends list small and this won't be an issue.

I support this.

Random people add me so i add them back then i get too lazy to unfriend people one by one since y'know, it's just plain tedious.

---

yes PLEASE i need this in my life

---

full support since i feel this feature would be really useful for me.

I'm kinda half and half. I see why this could be needed for people with big friend lists, but I'm wondering if it might lag ph as adding and removing friends takes some time for just one person. Imagine if you want to remove 50 users on your friendlist and think about how long it would take.

I agree with ShadowSragon86, on my safari browser, I have to close the tab and open it again and 20% of the time, it doesn’t work, so I can’t think what will happen if I do it all at once, anyway this won’t be useful to me since there is barely anyone on my friendlist as I usually press the reject button

Just wanted to mention and give more insight with how friending/unfriending works in relation to performance. It lags, but you only will notice it on your browser's end. If you've ever mass unfriended a bunch of people by opening the unfriend links in new tabs then you may notice some tabs not loading or receiving gateway errors. This is normal. You can open a bunch of tabs and instantly close them and these requests will still process just fine. However, you'll still have to wait and can't do much else while this is going on anyway.

The request to friend/unfriend would be instant, but you lag because you (the browser) wait for a response back for any of these requests (from the server's end). This is only very taxing on the browser's end if you're mass adding/unadding others as the time waiting for these responses only adds up. Not much that can be done about that unless Riako ever reworks friendslists and wants to use a different system and or methods than how it's all currently handled. It could potentially be made a lot quicker and faster.

But no, this doesn't lag PH. It's very negligible (like most other things) with how it affects the performance for other users that are using the site while these types of requests are going on.

Full support for this idea. I have so much inactives in my friendlist, which are inactive since years. The only reason I dont unfriend them is the much work.
