Having friends on MQL5: The positives - page 2

 

When someone sends you a friend request, they want you to see their future wall posts. In the vast majority of cases. Stop pretending to be saints.

[edit] Or a person is interested in your wall posts and "subscribes" to them.

The simple solution to avoid unwanted wall posts of others is to go into your Friend settings, and enable "Do not show in News feed." Former Moderator, Fernando, pointed this out to me.

Those of us not Selling on mql5.com are not demons. A Hobbesian philosophy doesn't apply to everyone.

Yes, that is the best way to help others outside of the Forum. Simply post valuable information on your wall/Blog. No Channel required.

For me, it sometimes goes something like this:

  • Someone published something interesting in CodeBase --> hmm, I wonder what else you'll publish --> "add to friends."
  • Someone published a lot of products or CodeBase posts in a short period of time --> hmm, I wonder how far you'll go (and whether it will lead to success) --> "add to friends."

I sometimes send friend requests to random people (when I'm procrastinating). Maybe someday one of them will see the stuff I published and click on it. Objectively speaking, I'm sure this won't result in any noticeable increase in views of my posts. But when I'm too lazy to do important things, I might click that "add to friends" button a couple of times as a way to procrastinate.
