Are other people getting friends requests automatically approved?

I have gotten a couple friends requests in the past week or so and each time I get an email message saying that someone has tried to friend me.  I then go to approve it and the page says "you do not have any friends requests" and I check and the person who tried to friend me is on my list of friends without me doing anything.

I don't care myself that it is automatic, but I suspect others might not like that sort of thing happening and it does not look like its supposed to work that way.

Edit: I just checked my emails and this has been 4 different requests, with the first being on June 8th.

It's a preference. I have my friends on Auto-Accept. It's likely that you're adding people that have either done this or that you have it on yourself.

On your profile, it is under Profile>Privacy Settings.

Timmeh, that seems to be what happened.  It was on auto accept, but I don't ever remember visiting that page before even though it says approval is the default.
