One thing thats always bugged me about diplomacy is the constant bugging by the ai about every little thing. I can't go ask an annoyed Monty to pony up a tech out of friendship. I think it would be nice to be able to set three different attitudes towards the different ai:
Ignore: Very simply, that ai cannot bug you for any reason. There would be a large diplomatic penalty for using this that cannot decay until you switch it off after which it decays slowly.
Neutral: Small (-1?) diplomatic penalty for being in this mode with an ai. The penalty is only present when you are in this mode. The ai cannot come to you with friendly requests, i.e. "Charity begins at home...". Demands of any type are still allowed.
Favorable: AI can do whatever the heck the RNG decides they should do.
