Do you accept or reject requests from strangers?
I get the occasional request from a recruiter, which I'll sometimes accept if I'm in the market for a new job. I also get requests from people I've never met, which to me is weird, but could be an opportunity for a new job as well I guess?
Edit:
Conversely - do you send out requests to people you don't know?

I have lots of fun with those: I start holding them to a 1 hour turnaround (or so) ... then delete / block them if they don't abide by "my rules".
Some people "invite" everybody under the sun. Some people just love wasting your time. Or treat you like a serf. YMMV.

I get requests from recruiters at least twice week. In the old days I was happy to accept them as I thought they were being friendly - and could, maybe, be useful getting a new post. However, I am in the position of being very happy where I am with no intention of moving anywhere - so now my attitude is less charitable.
Is this selfish? Perhaps... Whatever, this is the real world of dog eat dog - although my puppy prefers ice-cream! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

This happens to me all the time.
Answer is it depends. If they are in a field I am curious about or something along that line. Sure I will accept their request. I still feel weird about it though.
If they are a recruiter and I am looking. Sure. In my current position though. I am not looking and I am called a 'manager' (ugh) so I get recruiters trying to get someone placed at my company all the time. This gets to be annoying sooooo, I don't accept those anymore at all. Just a universal block on them. Perhaps if I am ever looking again. Perhaps.

I rarely get new request.
Most of the time I accept them because they are related to my job.
I reject all recruiters (or stall them out), and I reject really unrelated requests
I'd rather be phishing!

I don't have LinkedIn.

Absolutely not. Even people I do know get "edited out" periodically - though some old friends are kept just as a way to contact should I ever need to. To me the whole point of LinkedIn is that it's about people who are linked! If I don't know them, and they don't know me, I'm hardly going to "recommend" them. What really really winds me up is when people on LinkedIn (or some other sites like PeoplePerHour) give an "endorsement" and expect one in return. Makes the whole thing utterly pointless.

Not even active on this LinkedIn. People calling me during work-hours, when I'm paid to work instead of answering phones for some "opportunity"?
Jacquers wrote: Conversely - do you send out requests to people you don't know?
Yes, but never via LinkedIn. It's just that they have to prove who they are, and why they interested. And not during working hours, my boss doesn't pay me to talk to recruiters. It would be theft if I did.
Never, under working time, did I talk to a recruiter. Ever. Only answering my phone for emergencies; and if not someone dying, it is not an emergency.

Last I got was someone who wanted my SSN and copy of my passport. Asked here if legit.
