I can neither accept nor decline friend requests. This is not a bug report. This is not a complaint. It's just to let people know this can happen. ID: 92551 ·

If this was Star Trek, I'd say that you would have received a message saying: ”We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.” Too late now. ID: 92552 ·

Further the "real" value of these coins is so low the amount donated to the project(s) they sponsor is pretty small. I slightly disagree with Les - "You have been assimilated". ID: 92553 ·

But, in addition, the way the pool manager works interferes with friend requests and private messages. I don't even know if the friend requests and private messages were intended to be received by me or intended for the pool. ID: 92596 ·
