    Also it seems a bit silly making these pretty drastic changes or removing features for this incredibly niche and limited problem.

    Then how would legitimate brand new players add friends and enemies?

    You buy defends? They probably got fedded and had their enemies and friends deleted manually. You can't have that many real friends anyway.

Okay, so Wenlock tried and failed (both here and in GD) this tactic. I wasn't going to, but funnily enough the antagonist in my story actually helped me out by sending me a link to this thread: https://www.torn.com/forums.php#!p=threads&f=19&t=15945555&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=16491757

Like ChristinaXP, this same multi (guy has claimed to be the same person and I 100% believe this to be the case) has added me to his blacklist almost 200 times on different accounts. A quote from Ched in that exact thread -

"He certainly has a lot of time on his hands. When he's older, he'll look back on his actions and cringe with embarrassment, that I can assure you.

I corrected friends list / blacklist amounts."

So, if it ain't too much trouble, I'd like the same correction. And I believe Wenlock also deserves at least to be looked into, even if he deserves most of his enemies.

Surely just putting having friends/enemies lists initially as a donator feature requirement like it always was in the past is the easy fix to this?

It's hardly a necessary feature. Blacklist from for preventing muggings perhaps, but you have nothing to mug if you can't afford a DP..

Perhaps only allow them to have a small friends list. They unlock the enemies list by becoming a donator (or buying slots with points). When a new player joins the game, you want to encourage them to build good relationships (friends), rather than bad ones anyways.

Fair point, hadn't considered that, had tunnel vision from the few spammers ruining it for legit players there.

Having it as a mission reward thing as mentioned could be quite good, or a level 2/3 feature? Or is a case of just updating the system for something else as you had already had in mind then I guess xP With only players active in the last 7 days or so counting on friends/enemies counts...?

I am not stopping until new players are unable to use a friends/enemy list, post on the forums, use chat, or do anything but sit there on a blank white wall that says "Please wait 7 days". Lawl!
