Thread: unwanted picture/porn on facebook

I would not be offended if someone from aulro declined you on facebook as they probably thought it was just a random person as we mainly only know forum names.
Before you accept someone you can message them and ask them who they are and how do you know me etc.
There are a lot of scammers everywhere on all websites.
They are quite easy to pick out.
I do not know what your privacy settings are on facebook but if they are at default then anyone can see your profile and pictures. It is even easier more someone who is a friend of one of your friends on facebook.
There are so many people who have well over 1000 friends(who I am friends with).
I rarely send invites unless it is someone I have just met and want to stay in contact with them.
I accept most but every now and then delete some or decline some as I do not talk to them and do not care what status they put up, so why have them as a "friend".

This thread is hilarious!!!

And got a lot of people ending up using my Facebook page that I did not expect, and I am not sure how these got onto it. On my Facebook page I do have some kids posting I think—not sure of ages but some posters did look young, I get parents of young children whose kids possibly see my page, a lady dying of Cancer has been invited to join my page after Facebook suggested he as a friend—most friend requests I do ignore, only in order to keep the page more compact—I have trouble keeping up to it already. Also on my page I have Lady Medical Doctor who is a refugee from Iran and recently had passed exams to Practice Medicine in Australia—I met her as she studied for her Australian Medical Exams in the Library were I was using the Internet & she misses her husband who is still in Iran. I do have Ministers and Minister’s wives [one daughter of a widow who is on my Facebook page who had lost her husband & her two oldest teen sons [one was 13] in a small Cesna plane crash some years ago, married a Minister Son—or Grandson of a famous 1950’s/1960’s Famous Rock Star from a well known world wide Rock Group, and so she visits my Facebook page—not sure how often]. A person who is very involved in the running of this AULRO Forum [he can name himself if he wants if he sees this post, but maybe he can keep my Facebook name secret from my critics—do not want to spend all my time arguing with some critics], and another AULRO Forum Member—not sure of his AULRO name, or how he joined my Facebook page, but I do get some great Landrover photos from this AULRO member on my page—mostly from elsewhere on the Net where I never do look, etc. I have also invited four other AULRO members to join my Facebook page—at least one has declined my invitation, and that is okay with me—I avoided Facebook for quite a while myself. And there is one other AULRO member that I will invite if he ever posts again—have not seen a post from him for ages and he may have sold his Land Rover..

But it is some like the lady Dying of Cancer & those with kids, etc. who should not be bombarded with this sort of PORN, which is why I started this Thread asking how to remove this PORN. Your answers are appreciated, even the funny ones.

I do get a lot of unwanted four letter words also, but have put up with those, even if they are not appreciated. But that particular porn was not appreciated on my Facebook page read by kids & women refugees among others.

John, I do not appreciate any form of hacking. I do not do facebook as well.
You can understand my surprise when I received numerous requests from facebook requesting me to confirm my account. I managed to get into this account. I was surprised it was quite active and had incorrect details. Someone was using my email address and, I suspect, thieving my "on line" identity.
I emailed facebook support explaining the problem and they deleted the account very quickly. I then set up a facebook account which I do not use to stop someone doing this again.
As I have said before (re: the porn), email facebook support to delete it.
Further advice would be to never use facebook. Yes, I get requests from people wanting friends. I ignore them and delete the email.
If you actively use a facebook account, in my opinion, you are inviting trouble.

A bit of Facebook 101.
People that 'add' you are not necessarily your friends. You can and should reject those you don't know.

People on facebook are not necessarily people. You should reject those you are not sure about or don't know.

Facebook suggests friends for you, you should ignore or reject them unless you are sure you know them.

What you see on your feed is not what others see when viewing your profile/wall from their account. The news feed is what other people post on their own wall.

On the top right hand side of your profile page at the bottom of the banner photo there is a little cog next to 'Activity Log', that's where you can find the settings menu. Go to Timeline Settings and make things as exclusive as you please. On the left side of that page is other sections including privacy settings. Manipulate as you see fit.

One thing to be mindful of is that advertising is tailored to suit your browsing history, if you are seeing ads for low brow websites/products/services, you may wish to change your browsing habits.

(Or embrace your dirty, filthy habits)

The way some people carry on, you'd think it was compulsory, and there are those who would rather forego food than Facebook.

I will not name him--he can name himself if he wants, but someone you all know does come, at least occasionally on my facebook page.
