Disabling Friend requests
So, friend of mine is getting bombed by friend requests for years now from an a-hole ex, who always makes a new account with names like "I just want to talk", "It's your fault" etc. We tried to report these accounts, but nothing changes and frankly it seems like they will never stop sending them.
So if we could just get an option to disable getting friend requests from strangers that would solve the entire issue. Again, this has already been going on for YEARS. I don't get how this option isn't already a thing.

If they block that user who keeps sending your friend friend requests, then they can't send those requests anymore.

But I wouldn't mind an option to disable incoming friend requests.

Your friend should call your local PD and ask for the fixated persons unit or similar.

They do block him, but the guy just keeps making new accounts (my friend now has 91 accounts blocked, but the requests just keep coming)

We tried, but unless he actively sends threats they won't do anything.

there should be option to block from getting friends requests on Steam

I agree. You should be able to disable friend requests and even have the option to allow friends of friends to add you, possibly even "recently played with" users as well.
Supported. This has been requested for years.

Then it's never going to happen. Valve doesn't read this forum, this forum's a dumping ground.
That is a legit law enforcement matter. A TRO will stop that instantly or he will be in jail. It requires a minimum amount of effort.

I have desired to disable friends requests for much of the time Steam has existed. The desire has, admittedly, diminished over the years as other things have been put in place to reduce friends request spam.

I probably get around 1 a month now where it used to be multiple a day.

if you go to steam>settings>notifications you can disable friend request notifications.
