facebook blocks

It cracks me up that people want you to water your crops more than you do,they can't just stand by and let the fake pixelated fruit wilt,its like an itch that has to be scratched :-D

 

I don't doubt she could - I'll ask her.

She's been berating me because I've let my crops die, have no animals (except a cat she gave me) and can't seem to get in the "spirit" of the game . . . :-D

 

hehe i got to level 27 last summer, then realised it was taking over my life so gave up (y) i haven't looked back, just found more games to get addicted to :-o

 

I've been looking.. how does one get rid of that "add me as a friend button?"

edit.. nevermind.. I think I figured it out :-D

edit again.. Now, I'm a little pissed because my settings are what they should have been! and it won't let me do what I want grrrrr

 

Here you go, dya. Facebook privacy checker, free of charge.

 

It doesn't work with new facebook settings it says :/

now it wont let me edit them arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh LOL im gonna rip facebook's face off :-D

 

It let me on my Vista machine.
Go to Account (top right), Privacy Settings, at the bottom, click Customize.
Worked for me.

 

And another page from my favorites (from here, naturally).

thanks hrlow but I figured it out.. I just need to clear the old cache LOL

 

I have mine set to a friend of a friend. It's the strictest it will let you go :/ but If you click on "preview my profile" (you get to see it how everyone sees it) there is no "add as friend" button. I wish I could let only friends add me but would kind of defeat the point as they are already friends :-D

I also took off the option to message me, been gettin random messages again from people I'd rather not talk to rolleyes

 

It may be a hit or miss thing... it worked on my profile, though I did get the message "please be patient if it doesn't work yet, we're working on it". They have a Facebook page (of course) where they post updates to the tool.

 

my money says she makes a SECOND acct on the sly 6 months down the road.

new IDs, new webmail is just tooooooo easy. even the strictest goody two shoes will do it.

 

back to the OP, most users WELCOME friend of a friend requests. and like 1/3 of all users routinely just add EVERYONE.

i don't play any games whatsoever. but i do routinely add babes i see in others lists....

:drool

 

if you've been reduced to adding randomers, i think somebody needs to get out more...

theres only one person i don't know on my friend list: some kid in kuala lumpur :-D i only accepted because of their sheer dedication. i rejected the request about 10 times, but they still kept adding me, so i gave in in the end

hehe you guys have lost the battle already...you don't need another account :-D my mum was my friend to begin with shame to say... no longer :-o and you can stop people seeing your profile etc... goodbye parents

 

well, i figure they'd NOTICE that, and come looking to follow up in the real world.

the point is to leave the original acct there as a DECOY...while having all your freewheeling unchaperoned fun in the SHADOW acct.

my two cents.

 

Fountain of Youth

OK, this is also a "facebook block", but diff enuf to warrant its own thread, I believe.

While signing up for a (new) facebook ID, I accidentally selected a rather recent birthyear. Making me 11 years old or so.

Right away I knew "this is going to bounce", and indeed, it stopped the signup process and told me "You are ineligible to register for Facebook."

Which is all fine and dandy. Problem is, it has also TAGGED the PC somehow, such that I can't even ATTEMPT to sign up for any OTHER IDs! The very homepage permanently now declares "You are ineligible to register for Facebook".

Mercifully, it lets me into my EXISTING accts -- wasn't really sure it would -- but once I'm out and back on the homepage, up returns that MESSAGE.

I wiped my caches/internet history -- which should have taken away any COOKIES -- but still it persists. Where exactly do I go to find the specific thing blocking me here?

This is annoying beyond words.

Fortunately, I managed to make the ID using Firefox...but IE is definitely out of commission here.

 

I think it's linked to the email address you used. Try with a different email.

 

there is no email address. the whole signup section is gone.

it is somehow "sensing" that this is the same pc where a youth attempted earlier.

it is a cookies/cache type problem.

 

It can only be a few things,your ISP,your browser,your IP or your location if you've cleaned your cookies.

I'm just 'assuming' that your specific combination has now been blacklisted to stop kids signing up as changing just one part 'the browser' allows it to work.

It may reset after a while or if you know you have a dynamic IP address reset your router and computer and try again.
You may be able to bypass it by changing your IE version also.

Just some suggestions I'm not sure how the block works.

 

And of course, you can also try a proxy.

 

it seems to have gone away on its own. i'm not sure WHAT i did, but there it is.

perhaps one of the things u mentioned.

 

Some news that blends with this thread.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20100729/tc_pcworld/thefacebookdatatorrentdebacleqa

 

And that would be why you should set everything to "Private" in your profile.

Facebook is by default as private as something that you that write on a post card and mail to another continent. Anyone who doesn't realize that shouldn't be on the site to begin with.

 

If your not my friend on facebook then all you can see, if you somehow manage to locate my profile, is my name (I don't even use my full name), a picture (that is not even of me :-D ) and the fact that I am a female.. that's it! and that's the way I like it!

 

Likewise.

But you and I are not average for Facebook users.

 

That is very true. I try to help my friends with their settings too, I guess they expect me to cuz I'm already known as the computer fixer lady :-D

Same here for me now - my security settings are as high as I can set them . . . though the picture is of me (Or was - it's now the USAF seal).

I did have a bad habit of just adding people as "friends" when I really didn't know them (friends of friends, I guess). I felt it was kinda rude not too rolleyes . . . then I realised how dumb that was. I "unfriended" about 20 people. I don't really do much with it now.

 

roflmao Laura.. that's funny. You could always "accidentally" hit the ignore button :innocent LOL

 

i don't see what the big deal is. i wouldn't want my FRIENDS to know anything abt me; strangers might actually be tolerable!

i add pretty much anyone and everyone, but there's nothing "there" there.

and most of my accts have phony name, random avatar, etc etc. anyways. there is no great reason to guard against the privacy of "CatT".

that link down there, btw -- have a look! i didn't know how to paste it directly into my post.

 

FB double click

anyone else notice that when u log out of FB, the login section can't pull up your autofill entries? u actually have to click on the FB logo itself, to bring you to the "real" FB homepage.

whats up widdat? it's like the first one is some sort of logout "limbo". and yet, they both LOOK identical.

????

 

NEW TWIST: one or two ppl i've tried friending do indeed have the "add as a friend link", but when u click on it, up comes a popup "This Request Can't Be Sent -- Do you know this user personally? To prevent misuse of Facebook, this request can't be sent. To learn more, please visit the Help Center."

Huh? Then why'd it offer the link?!

Moreover, why bother ASKING whether I know the user, if it's not gonna offer some alternate course of action?

 

Facebook is down for me. This is fascinating, this has never happened before.

 

Too late now you have just split your family in two! :seeya You think not sending a Christmas card or remembering a birthday was bad Laura?

Try not accepting close friends and family's friend requests on Facebook! :eek

:-D

 

hehe or you just do the tricks i do: accept them then after about a week delete them from your friends :-D they get no notification of it and generally takes several months for them to figure why it didn't show your birthday :cool OR you change your details so they say you live in saudi arabia and are about 20 pull a pic from google and hey presto nobody bothers you :-D OR you just spam their page with loads of links to random web pages so much that they are the ones that terminate the 'friendship' :-D this one generally does damage the real life relationship though.... trust me, 60 notifictions form 1 person everytime you log in gets to you after a while

 

Or do what I do delete your Facebook account and be FREE!

 

NEVER!!!!! :-D facebook is my life :-o ...well along with a load of other necessities like food and drink and swimming
