Considering that Facebook statuses are public, you shouldn't post anything you wouldn't want to broadcast to the whole world, particularly if you use your real name
That is good advice, but I just post any rubbish that passes through my mind because I have no one from work on mine and I don't use my real name there | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 12:30:30 AM | I remember a Mum I knew had to rush her son to A&E for a head injury (nothing serious but a lot of blood).
She stil had time to take pics and post them on FB, at home, on the way to the hospital and also of him being treated.
Sorry I thought this macabre and quickly removed her as a friend :O( | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 1:35:54 AM | I have my business page on there, and a family member of mine posts updates from her pregnancy, baby scans, first smile, cough , hiccup, farts, and everything her little girl does everyday and it drives me nuts !
She is now expecting identical twins , bless her, it is exciting but I am hoping her hands will be too full when they are born to post on there :) | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 2:42:06 AM | Not all my FB friends are family but most are, then there's my proper friends then some people I was close to but moved away from the area etc and the friendship fizzles out.
It's when people are so open about their state of mind that bothers me. Personal stuff like feeling depressed or venting anger at the world about something trivial seems weak imo | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 2:43:21 AM | | I rarely post anything of fb, I use mine to keep in contact with the kids. I really used to find it tedious when people put what they are doing each minute and when they would tell everyone when their house was free for all burglars! My daughter was good at updating her status all the time but she was 17/18 at the time, so all youngsters seem to do it. But I do find it weird when you have a 30 odd year old doing exactly the same! And you always knew when she finished a relationship due to updating her status and what she thought of men. Bit sad I thought, I hide her status now, so I dont have to keep saying, 'here she goes again, let everyone know why dontcha!' No! she isn't a close friend but a relative of a relative who wanted to 'befriend' me. She has just ended a relationship saying, 'men are all d*cks!' :) She is 34! | |

WHAAAAAAT?
Yep, cover photos are public all the time and can be seen by everyone, even if you have the highest security on facebook, Cover pictures are still visible...and can possibly be copied too, not sure on that though.
My best friend didn't know this and she has pics of her grand daughter on her Cover pic. That got deleted fast. | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 5:37:55 AM | I noticed the cover picture privacy - or lack of - quite quickly and it is now set to something very bland. However, my profile is super private and you wont find me if you search for me. An approach i took due to my career! I use mine for really mundane boring stuff that i cant imagine makes it worth being my friend! I do have lots of pics of my daughter on there - again, super private - but thats more for family who have moved away and dont get to see her much.
IMO its the constant posts about everyday life that get old really fast, or the really personal posts about things that you wouldnt even discuss with your family. One of my recent updates reads 'really do not understand people who write ridiculously personal stuff all over the internet and then continuously post links to them!! Invest in a journal ffs, nobody cares!!!!' which i think sums up my opinion on that! Lol | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 1:02:51 PM | well if you've any sense about you, you don't put your surname on it anyway, I just use my first and my middle name, have no family and no one from work on it. I never say where I work and don't have my hometown on it either
with your surname your address can be found pretty quickly using sites like pipl | |

The above said by someone who is posting VERY personal details of an impending divorce on an open forum. With respect I understand you asking advice about your situation, but is this the right place?
I don't have basefook and it is not for me; but I know people who do and some post all sorts of shyte that the world doesn't need to know and others post stuff to keep in touch with long distance friends and family ................. it's all their choice. My daughter lets me know what my nieces and nephew are up to, and then I phone their Mums lol.
I'd hate to have to refuse all those 'friends' requests from people who don't even come close to being a friend.

NOT all the time they can block you ... open a new account with different e mail address they know all the tricks and if they don,t their friends do | |

Posted: 5/23/2012 2:54:01 AM | I was really surprised watching a program the other night about fraud scams. They actually got evidence that helped convict suspects.
Scam was - car stops suddenly for no reason, bus runs into back of it, pickup truck quickly takes broken car away, car driver claims huge compensation.
Via Facebook, they found out that the car driver, bus driver and pickup truck driver all knew each other, which they had all previously denied. FB evidence gave police enough info to get a court order to check phone records and they had all been in contact frequently immediately prior to the 'accident' All 3 were charged. | |

Posted: 5/23/2012 3:08:03 AM | I had posted a photo of my self sitting on a nude beach, the photo was of my top half so it looked ok to post.
What i hadn't realized was when i selected the thumb nail was it showed a bit more when fully open but only just so i had to doctor it with paint program but that just drew your eyes to that area so i just had to remove it in the end. | |

Posted: 6/6/2012 3:30:50 AM | I had a friend who spent ALL his time on facebook, then constantly moaned about not wanting to be updated about stuff. And yet, when I suggested that if he didn't want to be updated about stuff he actually switch of facebook and live real life, *I* was supposedly the one in the wrong?
Note, HAD a friend. I have since "unfriended" him.
To be honest, I don't like it when all someone does on facebook is moan about their day.
"Back to work tomorrow, urgh!"
"Another crappy day at work..."
"I'm bored..."
"So much work to do! Stressed!"
"Hungover... AGAIN"
I can understand every once in a while, if you have a real problem. But every day? What makes you think I want to see whiney status updates ALL the time? Negativity just brings the mood down.
At work, people comment that I'm always smiling and positive and happy. Well, yes... because if I grump and snap and moan, it makes me feel lousy, and has a negative affect on the people I work with.
I've been having a facebook cull this week. It kind of shocked me, to be honest, to realise how many people I've kept on out of politeness. Friends of friends, or people I went to school with years ago, or people from halls at uni. People who hardly said 2 words to me in all that time, and people who, if I turned up to a party tomorrow, wouldn't even say hi to me. (Even people who when I DID turn up to a party at uni, smiled at me once and then turned back to their friends. What was I thinking?!)
I'd been working on the delusion that I couldn't "unfriend" these people, because it would be rude, and what if they got offended? :O But this week I got to thinking... nah. If they were really the sort of person who cared about being deleted off my facebook, they would have spoken to me.
Taboos?
Well... I tend not to put photos of people up on facebook without their permission. I mean, if I'm on a night out with friends and they ASK me to put the photos up, fine. But I'm especially careful with photos of children. (Some parents, quite reasonably, don't want photos of their kids on the internet.) I asked my aunt's permission to put up a photo of her and her kids from a family wedding, even though she was fine with it and already had photos of her children on her page.
I don't talk about work on facebook. Yes, my page is set to private, but there are apparently ways that employers/potential employers could get round that. Besides, I think ****ing about your job on Facebook is rather unprofessional. (Just my opinion.) | |

Posted: 6/6/2012 3:52:24 AM | I've had to have a word with one of my female friends for posting"I'm a strong minded woman that doesn't need men to survive" immediately after splitting up with her boyfriend. Of course she got loads of facebook messages from the rebound brigade.
I have looked at my facebook and thought do I just allow the pics to flow naturally or should I be activey vetting them. I think I'll definitely be hiding beer bottles if these weekend pics keep getting posted up. We're in the pub every single weekend and the facebook pics are making us all look like alkies, it's a false representation as most of the time I drink becks blue (non alcoholic beer).
I agree with the negative FB statements though, nobody wants to read that.
One thing I will say and I will say it 100 times over and that is that my social life has improved dramatically since using facebook. It's so much easier to arrange get togethers with friends. | |

Posted: 6/6/2012 5:54:40 AM | Rarely update my status, even so my page is all private and cannot be found in public searches and both my profile picture and cover photos are computer generated images (fractals). I only share photos (from other websites), articles (from online newspapers) and quotes (generally what I find funny...even if a little sick at times!).
As for reading other people posts...I generally ignore most but enjoy 1 particular friend whose husband regularly hacks her account and post on her behalf how good he is in bed (with details)!! I always “like” those comments...can’t understand why they seem to vanish quickly :D
Can’t believe that some people don’t realise the cover photo is public...along with all life events!!! I believe that everything else can be set to personal preferences. | |

Posted: 6/22/2012 1:50:31 PM | Over in my country, there's girls who posted a guy's name on their status update of who or whom they got a crush on.
Is that anybodys concern? Really? That same guy who see that and dont' want to be around that same girl who posted the status. A crush on someone is suppose to be a secret and tell that person about that, and nobody eise.
I guess you guys can call that "Rubbish", right? | |

Posted: 6/22/2012 8:27:35 PM | | If my facebook was a film I'd probably rate it as a PG, I keep my personal life off there, never air my dirty linen and keep the humour to tongue and cheek level, I do this partially out of respect for my family (my wee Granny and Great Aunt are on there) partially because there are things everyone should keep private, people are too quick to post their personal shyte all over the internet. | |

That opens a whole different can of worms doesn't it? Your first few statements were pretty much internet common sense (which a lot of the intellectually challenged on Basefook may not be aware of) ..........BUT (see that big BUT?), having an opinion is a completely other thing and why should we keep it to ourselves?
If you put something out in the public (or semi-public) domain of the internet, then it is fair game to be commented on with an opinion .................. in my opinion. If you (general 'you' not a personal 'you') don't like my opinion it's not really my problem is it?
