This change is related to Facebook only and brings the game in line with how invites/gifts/boosts MySpace and Hi5. We have enabled in-game accepting of gifts/invites/boosts, Facebook has given developers the ability to delete requests on behalf of players. If you have requests available still accept them, never ignore them, when you hit Pirate Clan they will get cleared out from your request inbox and you can take appropriate action in game. We will be releasing an enhancement shortly to accepting invites/gifts that should make it even easier to perform accepts.
