a solution...maybe.

i keep seeing so many complaints about this new aff system where you have to spend karma points to send pm or wallpost...and it's such a problem bcuz many don't want to accept friend request blabla before you talk to them blabla...

what is so difficult about that?

if you want to befriend someone after reading their story....comment on their damn story and ask if they could accept your friend req cuz you wanna be friends with them...you don't spend karma point...you GET karma point.

if you want to befriend someone after reading their blog...comment on their blogpost and ask if they could accept your friend req cuz you wanna be friends with them...you don't spend karma point...you GET karma point.

if you want to befriend someone after seeing their comment somewhere...just reply to that comment and ask if they could accept your friend req cuz you wanna be friends with them...you don't get karma point(i think...idk..do you?)...but you don't spend either.

if you simply want to befriend someone so badly without any mentioned reasons(they don't have story, they don't have blogpost, you never see their comment anywhere)...then that user must be at least worthy to be spent one karma point on...what is the problem???

as for writer simply want to go thank their subs on their wall...i don't think that's an issue cuz it's already stated clearly in faq there are no karma charges for that...if you read the faq...which i think could save a lot of dramas...unless you're that much of a drama lover

the solution is so simple yet i saw big hoopla on it everywhere i turn to here...

am i too smart or are people just too uncreative...

the solution isn't even that difficult. if you really want to be friends to those people and not merely stalkers...

ps: don't use these method on me though...i'm not friendly or nice or popular n am extremely critical...certainly not your subject of friendship. lol.

aaand this is where advertisers start to get pissed because they going to go karma broke. I think this is good because it keeps the unwanted advertiser spam away. We are saving lives here. And if you want to talk to someone who's not your friend then bam now you have a new friend and you're free to talk. Do you understand how long I've been needing this? o u o

tbh, i'm neutral on this right now, neither for or against it...
that being said, what would you say to advertisers/shops? (i don't know the details of their plight specifically, but i skimmed thru this discussion from an advertiser: http://www.asianfanfics.com/chat/view_room/14859/0/change-it-back-asianfanfics). i've read numerous shop owners saying that this really affects them.
and to the authors who want to keep in touch with their readers (and vice versa)? seems like a big hassle for them to befriend every single author/reader they want to talk to...
