probably , why it annoys about 99% of all readers, who sees that? because you have to ask , before you can see their work?
for two years now, I have got a policy: I dont mind asking them, but also make crystal clear, I wont friend anyone back , just to be able to see their flocked or communitylock art, fic or whatever. What I do is, I promise that person, there will be comments and feedback from me, on stuff that interests me. I will not friend them back though. If they can live with that, I would be more than happy if they friend me and give me access to their artwork. if not, then not.
from the reactions, I can see, if that person does it out of vanity and just to have a big number of people friending them to boast their ego, or if they just do the flocked to protect their stuff, either from being stolen or all kinds of legal hassle with porn and slash and underage stuff.
so far, it works with most people, i have met, who have flocked LJ for their stuff.
