sure, its never a good idea to spam your hs in public, but, what you could suggest instead is to clean/erase the hs given every time (or change it all the time). i dont think you should try to remove their opportunity to make friends by kinning. afaik, the newer they are, the more they use this feature. also, making new players too paranoid to refuse a kin request from a neighbor does not sound friendly to me, id probably take it rather suspicious, although i dont have a habit of asking around for one myself.
Yes Tonky you can clean/erase your HS each time but new people are not in the habit of doing such. So until they feel comfortable it is much more wise to be cautious. As for not being friendly Ive not discouraged that at all. Most new people meet people through their travels and do direct kin requests. Once you meet people it is wise to accept kin requests. I will agree with that.
Please realize Ill do updates here and there with basic and general advice. This is intended for people who never have played Haven. So whats most efficient is not always the best way to learn or the most fun. Just as being to generous to new players can ruin their fun.
