Then just tell them WELCOME!! Is it really needed for them to add you in order to feel them feel welcomed?
But the point is that if they add you and don't tell you, odds are that you don't know they exist, making it pretty difficult to welcome them don't you think?

Usually people who added you would be a person who you have talked to for a while. If not, that person added you just so he could spam your profile without trying to remember your user name. As much as I want to agree that we should be able to know, it is usually a good reason why they have added you, however there is that spam reason, so it would be good to know...
But how would we know that we have been added? Where in our profile will it show that someone would add us? Could there be a small section below the friends list to show "Users who have Added You as a Friend"? There IS a giant gap in your profile that can be filled with that information, if it is beneficial.
Also, if that certain person has added you as a "friend" just to spam in your profile, it would be a good idea to either flag and delete the comments, or contact a moderator and delete the comments. Deleting his/her comments is just an indirect attack on their person to show that he/she is doing something that you don't like, and as an added bonus, it is fun =)
The simple way to stop them form spamming is telling a mod. I don't find this idea really needed.If they add you well let them be man!You guys just want to be more popular without caring about the site.
I can't even think of a reason why strangers would want to add you in the first place, aside from the spam reason... Maybe they'll feel important if they have a ranked user on their friends list... Maybe so they won't feel lonely and unimportant if they do... Hey, I went 2 months without a person on my list, and I didn't have a problem with it. As I said, legit users on the friends list are usually people that you have talked to and had conversations with on AG. If not, then you are quick to gain friends and even quicker to lose them >_>
bah, just let the kids be free and add you already, stop getting angry about some stranger adding you for no reason just let them add you and then add them back if you want to.
I wasn't opposing the idea, I was saying I would have no use for it. I would ignore them anyways; friendship is a relationship, you can't be partners if the other doesn't give consent right? That's my reason right there. But hey, let them do as they want. And how am I angry about this? >_> 80% of those guys are spammers anyways.
It would be nice to have this, but what about firetail? All the newer people to AG most likely add him just because he is number one. All the more active players would have to deal with this. It would become an annoyance to deal with it.
I think it is fine the way some ask for allowance to befriend one, but those... Nah, I do not think there is a need for it. If you do not want to be friend with someone, then do not befriend them.
