Declining Friend invitation

And creates many more. Then SE has to police what addons are sanctioned.

Not really. You just limit what the API is capable of accessing. There's no need to approve or deny every individual addon.

If an addon comes along that does something degenerate that you didn't think of, you just modify the API so that it doesn't work anymore. For an example of this see Blizzard's response to an addon that projected textures on the ground. They just changed the API so it could no longer determine which direction the camera was facing.. boom problem solved.

Welp. This is what I was remembering, but it doesn't eliminate the step to actually go into the friends list and remove them there.

/flist deny <r>
/blist add <r>

Exactly! Blizzard has it right on the UI.

FFXIV:ARR UI is horrendous. Multiple confirmations. Hiding stuff under layers of menus. I regard the friend invite decline as STUPID as the dismount confirmation that used to exist when we ride into city. I bloody hell better want to go into the city if I'm riding into it! I most certainly want to decline the friend request when I click on NO!

I don't really think the UI designer actually played with this UI as a player. There's probably a few minutes of testing the UI and then it's sent into production. Such obvious irritations all littered over the place.

Yes it does.... if they sent you a tell at the same time and you hit the button immediately, before anyone else sends you a tell. Otherwise, there's no way to key off of their name.
