  • Stupid Facebook!!!

    I don't do facebook anymore (haven't done it in years). But I'm still getting emails from them telling me "such and such updated their status!" or "Such and such is waiting for your response!!!". You know what? I don't care. It's all automated spam, and even if they were really waiting for my participation, I do not like the nagging. All that does is make facebook even more of a chore than it already is for me. It's especially frusturating since I'm expecting emails that are actually important, only to be disappointed that it's just facebook trying to keep me in their system.

    then adjust your notification settings to not send the email.

      yeah those are easy to turn off....
      you can also deactivate your account if you dont use it, that should stop them.

      also, a lot of spambots now say they are from facebook but aren't. i get them constantly at my non-facebook-related email.

        Yeah, I had a few of those. I got what appeared to be an email from a friend (using their name), but it contained a link which I assumed was a virus. Not cool, not cool at all.

          I use Facebook infrequently; I logged in this morning for something and was being nagged to update my profile...why does FB need to know where I work? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen (even though I'm intentionally vague if I post anything about work). Still trying to figure out what they'll accept as an entry.

            you can skip it. i don't have mine listed since our company bans speaking ill of them on social media.

              I put a fake job and place of work since my old job declared that anyone who has them on their page must be subject to their policies. And I'm not taking any sort of chance with my new job.

              Apparently I now work on Venus. :P

                I'm very fortunate in that I work for a small company selling wholesale, and my bosses just don't give a rat's ass

                Actually, the Bosslady encourages me to post on CS sometimes about stuff that happens at work.

                  The funny thing about this? Even though I'm still getting these stupid messages, facebook locked my account so even if I wanted to get on, I couldn't.
