Facebook group

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Special request- Do not add me to a group unless I am on Facebook at the same time so I can change teh settings immediately. I still haven't cleaned out my email. It's going to be even worse now.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MAKES ME WANT TO DO?? WHY DO YOU DO THIS SHIT TO ME??

Yes, I know Charley. I'll rescind this request when I pare down the shit in my inbox 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

3354 emails...

I know that's not all you guys but... :cracks knuckles:

Be back in an hour.

If your inbox was clean to start with, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

This is getting really old.

I was gone all weekend and came back to more groups and literally thousands of emails because I can't magically change my settings using astral projection.

Now I've had to stop accepting friend requests. I am only friends with people I know IRL and PD spags that I might as well know IRL. Now people are trying to friend me that have 10 of you as mutual friends but they don't even know what PD is. I don't want to be friends with them. And I have no way of knowing who's a legit spag and who's just some asstard that friends everyone they come across.

I mean, great job and all directing the world's attention to such a serious and pressing problem though.

I only added you once and discovered your feelings about it. As for the other, I was bored.

This is the new Facebook. Get used to it. We didn't CAUSE it, we were just the first to point it out.

I get other types of junk mail too.

Best reason I've had all year for ditching FB once Diaspora is up and running.

I managed to cull the Name Change Notifications (but they certainly buried that option).

1. Log in to FB

2. Click on Account > Account Settings

3. Click on the Notifications tab

4. Scroll down to Groups and Uncheck whatever you don't want

5. You're Welcome

You can stop emails and most notifications but you still get one when someone changes the name of the group, I can't find a way to turn it off. Facebook it stupid.

Um, so if the privacy settings in FB are failing, why don't you just filter all the stuff on your email's side? Most of my incoming emails are automatically sorted into folders and the social network stuff is even marked "read". Every email client and every webmail site can do this. If you got GMail it's a matter of clicking "filter messages like these" and selecting what it should do with emails whose sender addresses match "facebook.com". You can even tell it to trash them, if you don't want any Facebook emails ever at all (but then why give them your main email in the first place).

The first checkbox I have under the "Groups" heading is "Changes the name of one of your groups".

EDIT: OH, you mean the 'Notifications' that popup while logged into face book. Yeah, it doesn't change that, so your "Notification' page is still all spammed up.

I don't think it is, It not under notifications anyway, I have all email notifications off. Maybe if I hid the group from my newsfeed it would stop them, yeah that should do it.
