And this is why I don't friend people I don't know. Anyone who has been invited into my levels I trust to act professionally. If their friends try to join, I usually ask a few questions about them before I allow.Quote:

The sad thing is that since I've returned to LBP, most of the people I would friend have full lists and so my circle of mature creators out there is pretty limited. I've seen a couple go recently too and that's disappointing.
Overall, I agree with what you've said, although I figure most of that stuff is understood by the people I associate with. Cocreate for me is a chance to discuss ideas or work out bugs - so there is some fun to be had by others when they join. Or, it's social time, but regardless, it can be tough to be productive when there are other people around.
I prefer not to invite anyone to my moon, and I always keep the settings on "refuse all", when I'm creating. I feel that it is easier to be alone on the moon, since you do not have to worry about others breaking your unfinished creations (a very potential danger at least in my moon, due to the complex logic/mechanisms).
I don't do online create unless it's in a blank level space where everyone can just let their hair down and party. The thought of having someone breathing down my neck while I'm working on a serious project makes my skin crawl. Oh and if anyone ever captured something without my permission, I would kill them.
I pretty much always create alone, but sometimes I invite loey1884 to do some graphic work for me, because he's good at it and I'm not. Sometimes he let's me work on the gameplay of his levels, becuae I'm better at that than him. We bothh genrally accept each others ideas and have fun doing it. No need to create a bunch of 'rules' that aren't needed. All the rules we do need are in the EULA, nothing more is needed.
I will agree some courtesy is important, it's just good manners in anything to ask before you do things. It's akin to someone coming over to your house and opening every drawer and going through your fridge without asking.
But that said... auto-reject. Though... if someone really presents such a burden, why even be friends with them?
Oh! If they don't listen, slap down the grabinators and throw them into a pit of spikes..... Good times, good times....
Well after publishing my Jedi duel level, I met one of them. He was playing it like 20x a day. It's the only level that is fun for me right now and he's the only one who gives me a challenge. I was lucky to find him. Him & his friends have all been working on star wars levels.Quote:

I have to agree with the OP big time. I feel bad when I turn down friend requests (when I notice them)...but even with a note on my message saying "busy" or "working on level" I get hit with tons of requests, I email tehm saying I will be busy for a good time longer, but I still get join requests every few minutes. My PS3 is set to auto login, and for some reason auto-reject never seemed to stayon (but I also felt like a jerk for using it). I Want the option to stay online and be able to send messages out to friends and family that also use a PS3...so off line is not really an option. Everynow and then I disconnect my router because of the requests. There are several people that are good at sending messages, but several others that spam the envite option...part of the issue is the friend's list on LBP 2 where x is to envite...I have gone to leave a comment on a level they did just to hit the x buttton by accident, and then once I am joined, have to apologize because I was on my way out. I think some people here seem to not understand that the person is not sending out envites to join them in create...they are being joined in create. I have bad enough lag, and when someone joins me in create and does what the poster talks about it really sucks. I could be rude and kick them out, but most of the time I am not (will until my lag crashes my level and I lose an hour or so of work). If someone joins you they should not mess whit your level, they should not hit unpause, ask tons of questions, envite friends, ask you to leave your level...and so on. It is exactly like someone visiting your place and going through your stuff...and I could add to that saying it is like someone stopping by your house while you are watching a movie and having dinner, they go through your stuff, take your dinner, and change the channel...it is just rude. People should send requests via messages and read people's status...but even if they don't they should not do all the rest of the things listed.
No one asks to join me.

I have had some annoying people in my moon, but they don't mean any harm and they definitely wouldn't capture my things.
I had to copy first message of this thread to my Moon, so now on I can put all read it and if they won't I just kick them and they have to know why :D. And I feel quilty too if I just put auto-reject, because it is sometimes annoying to me too if I am trying to join friend for fun and all friends are auto-rejecting.
I won't even keep friends who try to capture my things, that is last thing they can do, because they are mine.
No guest in Create Mode should expect (and demand) a rewind from the group leader. If you go off building on someone else's moon, better keep that in mind by boxing in runaway objects, disabling self-destruction, etcetera. And just make no mistakes. For that reason I will never do any serious creating while I am a guest; I;ll just hop over to my own moon if work needs to get done.
If the group leader is creating music, do not make noises; as a matter of fact, creating music is so boring to guests, you'll probably be better off not grouping up in the first place.
Im anxious incase someone recently on my moon stole my idea.
