<p></p>
<p>I recently received a message saying that "(A person that I've never heard of) has added you as a friend on OpenStreetMap", but when I clicked on the link to their user page, it said that that User does not exist.</p>
<p>Following advice, I raised the matter with the DWG as I was concerned about spam, & they advised that that user would have already been deleted, probably after somebody else reported them for the same reason.</p>
<p>I made some suggestions to prevent this from happening again, but they said I should raise them here.</p>
<p>"Making friends" shouldn't only be controlled by one side of the proposed new arrangement. If I decide that I want to be friends with you, then instead of you just getting a message that Fizzie41 is now your friend, you should get a message saying that "Fizzie41 (link to user page) would like to become your friend - do you agree? - Yes / No". If you say Yes, then I get a response saying that you have agreed; if No, I either get nothing back at all, or I get a polite "Sorry, your Friend request has been declined" message.</p>
<p>Further to that, is there any way for a User to see who has listed them as a friend?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Graeme</p>
