Adults can't 'unfriend' minors - priority: Medium?

When you look at someone's profile, there is the 'add to friends' button.

For an adult looking at a minor's profile, this is blacked out AS IT SHOULD BE to prevent adults from friend requesting minors.

But minors can choose to add adults, and adults can choose to accept that friend request or not.

With me so far? Good.

But when an adult accepts another adult, that 'add to friends' button turns into a 'remove friend' button, so you can REMOVE someone if you want to, without resorting to blocking them.

But if you've accepted a friend request from a minor, that button still remains a blacked-out button saying: 'add to friends'.

Thus, an adult can not 'remove' the minor, once friended.

I think this needs to be addressed. 

Priority high. If I accidentally friend a minor, I want them gone. And the Accept and Decline buttons are pretty close together, so it’s bound to happen eventually to my clumsy ass.

@Very Scary Fairy✨ personally, I think things like nazi profiles, or gore, is 'high' priority! But what the heck 😊 

Anyway, in the meantime, if you DO accidentally accept a minor, you can presumedly block them. So there's at least a nuclear work around until Def3ct can address! 😊

@Cranky Old Witch Both can be high priority😉

✨💖✨✌️✨

@Very Scary Fairy✨ there is a good work around! If you block the minor, then unblock them, it removes them from your friends' list without them staying blocked! I've just tried this out with three or four, and it works fine!

The bug still needs to be fixed, though!

@Cranky Old Witch Sounds good to me! This will be resolved before I need to use that, though, I’m sure lol

✨💖✨✌️✨

@Very Scary Fairy✨ 

Absolutely bumping that to high priority for me as well, especially with how many minors lie about their ages here! (I don't blame them, kids will be kids, it just makes things very difficult!) Whenever they reveal their real age in their bio, the profile age gets manually overridden to reflect it, so I would be absolutely steaming if I accidentally added someone and then couldn't get rid of them.

Bumping this as well! Thought I was the only one experiencing this!!!

I think it's just a mistake, I guess the owner of the website will fix it because I see a new update every week in this website 

@Twete yes, of course! It's just a bug-a-boo needing a wee tweak! 

But posting here is how this stuff gets fixed 😊 

@Cranky Old Witch okaaay , this is my first time to comment on a Forum I still don't know how this works,  thanks for info 🙌

@Twete this is why it's a great site! Lots of folks pitch in wee ideas here to help make the site better, and Def3ct usually addresses it in a time frame measured in hours or days, rather than months or never.

He's a dang rock star! 

Same!! I added some people when I was super new and they didn't have their age listed. But I was going through a few profiles when cleaning my account and saw a few that slipped through the cracks and couldn't remove!! 

@pondjoose I mean, I don't mind that the kids add me or whatever, but like you, I'm trying to keep my profile tidy by unfriending people who haven't been active in a matter of months, and can't remove the kids. Only the adults!

But they've done nothing wrong, so I don't want to 'block' them either! 

@Cranky Old Witch Yea!!! That's exactly my sentiment! Blocking shouldn't be the only way to put up a boundary. Hopefully there's a better option once the bug is fixed! :)

@pondjoose kaylvang below has just told me that if you 'block' and then 'unblock' someone, that removes them from your friend list. I've just verified that this is TRUE!

I'd still like the bug fixed, but at least there is a GOOD work around! 

@Cranky Old Witch This is great! TYSMMM

This has happened to me with minors not having ages listed then later having status being like "lol i'm 15". Then me rushing to try to remove them as I am twice their age, and finding that I can't.

What I have done to unfriend minors is block them, and then unblock them. It removed them from my friends list, but definitely an oversight! Hopefully this can be addressed soon.

@kaylvang 𓍢ִ໋❀ wait, if you block, and then unblock, they are removed? Genius! 

Still want this sorted out though! 

The way I got around this was by copying the remove friend URL from another profile (https://friendrewind.com/unfriend.php?action=add&id=) then replacing the user ID with the person you want to delete.

Edit: the persons (a minor) profile links weren't clickable. so i didnt have much choice. lol

@phlud I used to do that with SH for folks that removed the button through their layout. Def3ct fixed THAT bug over here so folks can't remove that button! 🥰 

As for the kids, easier to just block them, then unblock them. That removes them from your friends' list.

But I think the bug should still be fixed!
