Go Skins Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 http://stylecaster.com/reasons-people-think-you-are-annoying-on-facebook/ 1. Posting your every. single. move. In this age of information overload, people are sick of hearing what others are doing every second of the day. Even your mom, at this point, probably doesn’t care that you just went out for coffee, so posting your every move on Facebook isn’t only annoying but totally unnecessary. Facebook has shifted more into a way of sharing things, rather than a platform for you to unload your every thought. Try to keep your status updates interesting—maybe a funny observation, a question, a great article you found—and save the endless real-time updates for Twitter. 2. Sharing racy or salacious photos of yourself. C’mon, you’re better than this! While we have no doubt that you looked amazing in that bodycon dress at the club, and held down those shots like a champ, you’re only cheapening your personal brand when we share it with random Facebook friends. If you really want people to see how great you looked, post it to your private Instagram, where we bet there’s less of a chance that family members, friends’ parents, or employers will see it. 3. Letting your friends freely tag you in photos. Make sure you set your preferences to always send you alerts when someone tags you in a photo—that way, you have to manually approve them. Don’t you want to control whether the world sees photos of you from a drunken night out, an embarrassing photo you in fifth grade with braces, or a candid shot of yourself in a bikini? Yeah, we thought so. 4. Complaining about your relationship. Just in case you weren’t aware, relationships are between two people. We repeat, two people. Telling the entire digital world that “[insert boyfriend's name here] was texting [tagged girls name here] and I absolutely hate him. #SoOverIt” is highly immature, and distasteful. Do you really need that random kid who sat next you in homeroom knowing what’s wrong with your love life? 5. Starting drama. This goes along with complaining about your relationship. Starting or participating in Facebook drama is reserved for high schoolers. Whether you’re in college or working in the real world, starting problems over the Internet is—in a word—stupid. If you’re unhappy with someone or disagree with offensive things they’re posting, unfriend them or ask to talk to them in person—don’t approach them on Facebook. 6. Posting cryptic Facebook statuses so everyone speculates as to what you’re talking about. “OMG I can’t believe that just happened to me. Everyone please keep me in your prayers.” While, of course, people care when you are hurt, just either a) let us know what we should be praying for or b) just don’t mention it at all. Keeping your crowd wondering what the hell you’re talking about doesn’t have them at the edge of their seat. It’s just frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want status's not stuff I can find myself. Is it too many kids pictures (I do not have any), or just kids pictures in general? Food, yes, I agree with.

T-Dub Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 They left off the #1 annoyance - game invites. You can turn those off. Not sure about the app - I don't use it - but on the standard web version if you click the arrow or "x" on the top right of the request there should be an option to "Block All from StupidAssQuiz" or whatever the game is called.

Jason Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Is there a "block all game requests" button. Seems like every time I block one another starts shortly thereafter. Do people get something when someone else plays a game from a request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Is there a "block all game requests" button. Seems like every time I block one another starts shortly thereafter. Do people get something when someone else plays a game from a request? 1. Yes. I believe you can still do this under "Apps/Apps, Websites and Plugins" in your Settings. This will also disable 3rd party websites linking to Facebook. I don't use that myself but you might, & I think you have to disable all of it or nothing. 2. Yes. most of those f2p Facebook games offer ppl in-game rewards for spamming you, and more if you sign up. They also let ppl trade stuff between them etc. Some of them even access your "friends" list (or anything else your friends have online) on their own; says so in the app permissions when you activate them but IDK if most ppl read that stuff. You can block that as well under the "Apps/Apps Others Use" tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Skins Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/17/living/national-unfriend-day/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 (CNN) -- We all have them: Old classmates, distant relatives or obnoxious co-workers, filling our social feeds with posts about people we don't know or barely remember. Jimmy Kimmel would like us to let them go. It's that time of year again -- National Unfriend Day, a holiday of sorts invented by the talk-show host to encourage people to prune the deadwood from their Facebook friend lists. In a new video, Kimmel reminds people about Monday's "holiday" while issuing a warning to annoying Facebookers. "You keep suggesting we 'like' something," he says. "Stop it, because we barely like you." The average adult Facebook user has 338 friends. If you keep in touch with all these people, you're either superhuman or running for office. To commemorate the fifth anniversary of National Unfriend Day, which Kimmel announced in 2010, may we suggest you free your feeds from these five types of "friends": Third-grade classmates Sure, it's sort of fun to get a friend request from someone you bunked with at summer camp or chased around the playground at recess. You look at their photo, judge them on what they're up to now and conjure up a distant memory or two. But then ... nothing. Unless you live in the same city and have lots in common -- "Wow, I love Renaissance fairs too!" -- chances are your rekindled "friendship" will never go anywhere. Put it out of its misery. Oversharers "Waffles for breakfast!" "I'm so sick of my morning commute." "Here's the 11th slide show this week of my kid. So cute!" Some people share so much that their posts become social white noise, like radio commercials. Worse, their posts take over our feeds like kudzu and crowd out news from friends you actually want to hear from. Lose 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
