Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Criteria for accepting links, friend requests etc

Here's the question..

I have profiles on a couple of social networking sites. I'm now trying to determine the "web's best practice" for handling friend and link requests.

In particular... take the case where somebody who you know of and have met (years ago) at parties requests "friend" status. If you haven't ever really chatted to them in the past for more than a minute (the obligatory intro bit) - is it misleading others to accept the link?

Is the situation different if you've heard good things about them, or if you've heard bad things?
