« When Is A Spam Not A Spam?      
 

I use Facebook and I like it, but it infuriates me with pages of requests from well-meaning friends to install pages of inane applications. Personally, I don’t want a little vampire on my profile. I don’t see what the point of having him there would be. I don’t care if pirates or ninjas win. I don’t want a graveyard on my profile, or a solar system, or an aquarium. I don’t want to compare myself to things, I don’t want a “fun wall” or an “advanced wall”. I don’t want to know what you’ve “voted” me and I don’t want to do a quiz.

And I’ll get several requests for each application. But you can stop them. When you get a request, don’t click “accept” or “ignore”. Click the application’s name, then click “block application”. This will stop any future requests from getting through. Then click “ignore”.

Once you’ve blocked Fun Wall, Advanced Wall, Zombies, Pirates, Ninjas, Pirates Versus Ninjas, My Garden and My Aquarium you’re pretty much safe. This blacklisting will still allow the non-shitty applications to contact you and you’ll still be able to read things posted on other people’s Fun Walls or whatever.

    Blocking requests is a good first step, but I would like to also block application notifications… With no zombies Facebook would be much nicer !
