Unrelated very short LJ question:

[msagara]

Can anyone tell me what a serial adder is? And, if it's what the name implies, what the point of being one is?

Serial adders don't necessarily need to be trolls. I've added, for example, quite a few writers to my Friends List over the past couple of weeks. I don't necessarily expect people to add me back; but this way all the journals I enjoy reading all line up on my Friends page rather than me hitting each of them one by one to see if they've added anything lately.

I'm not sure how this makes you a serial adder, given what everyone else has said, or perhaps how I've interpreted it -- you're adding people whose journals you have some interest in to your list, and one assumes that you at least peruse the pre-cut-line portions of those <g>.

Some people have such a broad definition of "serial adders" that they mean anyone who adds a lot ("lot" being a relative term) of people in a short amount of time. They don't distinguish between the trolls and people who legitimately want to read other folks' journals.

For some reason, I don't know why, a lot of people adding them to their Friends List is a problem. I like being added, personally.
