Bots are getting out of hand with commercials

Recently every time I log on to League I have noticed that I receive a very large quantity of friend requests. Upon accepting these requests I then receive a message that is an advertisement or solicitation of some kind. This has become extremely rampant in the past month that I have been playing and is really annoying and should not be allowed. Please Riot take a look into possibly banning accounts that are being created as bots for solicitation and advertising. Please post your thoughts and concerns on here as well as I would really like to see this issue seriously looked at. Thank you to everyone!

Yes, Riot needs to implement more barriers to stop these (actually, they are in the process of doing precisely that).
Stop accepting friend requests from people you don't recognize. If you feel like you want to anyway, at least check their profile first and see if they are level 1.

Agreed. It's so annoying. I get at least one add every time I log on.

An easy fix would be to force people to lvl up to lvl 5 before being able to send messages that would kill this issue. I usually just ignore the request.

Every day, I am getting 2-10 friend requests from names that are always all lowercase and no spaces or numbers. If I accidently accept them, they immediately spam me with advertising for a website. Is there any way to block friend requests or somehow prevent this advertising spam? It is very annoying.
