Has anyone else had people they don't know asking to be added as a friend? I suspect this may be to do with acquiring Guru points.

Yes. I check their profiles and look around the site to try and judge somewhat who/what they are, then I make my decision.0

The random people are in most cases just trying to obtain guru points. In my case I only admit people as my friends when they have given me a reason to respect their knowledge and actions.0

I'm the same way. I only add real guru's as friends. Their Blogs and profile are what interest me. I'm on Linux.com to make friends that know Linux and can help me and in turn I try to offer what I know where I can.
I don't care about "Guru" status. I know my skills, and I think most people that are real Guru's don't care either0 -

I agree with you kon the guru status, I would rather help other linux users solve their problems thank be stuck up linux elitist!0 -
It's to bad that there are people that feel compelled to do that for something as insubstantial as "Guru" points. I would hope that people are here to gain friends and acquaintances to build community and friendships.0

I have only had one to ask, and I added or was added. Nothing has happened since.0

I've had some that were reasonable requests that I granted, and others that were blatant phishing expeditions (spam)! There should be a prominent button when one receives such a request, to alert the moderators that the sender is violating the TOS of the site.0
