Hi everybody,

In case you don't know me (because you've only bothered to post your ID on this wiki or something else), I'm one of the administrators on this wiki. I'm here to suggest that we close the comments section to the Friend requests page.

I have a couple of reasons for suggesting this:
 * 1) Our bureaucrat, Lamiah2o, usually monitors the comments section and adds them to a list.
 * 2) Lamiah's currently inactive, and I don't know if she's coming back any time soon.
 * 3) I don't have the patience or the time to check whether each and every ID on that page has only been said once. I don't even know how to test whether they're actual IDs.
 * 4) I would have suggested to delete the page altogether, but I realize that a lot of people like this page and would hate to see this go.
 * 5) This page has already caused a lot of spam and isn't really going to be very useful in encouraging people to develop this wiki. There are hundreds of accounts that were created solely to make one comment (which technically violates the Wikipedia policy of having a single purpose account).

I know that a lot of people will be upset about this, so I'm going to hold off for a bit so you, the reader, can give out your opinion. Please note that you have to create an account before you can comment. More information about this rule can be found at Updates to COPPA on the Community Wikia.

NOTE: I've renamed Friends Requests to Friend requests to make this page easier to search for.
