    I'd rather have my wall for my own posts as opposed to others posting rubbish on it.

    Thanks

    I'm not sure facebook is for you.

    Close your account.

    Delete all your friends.

    If you want to write things to yourself do it in your head, your friends can't get in there. Would you not be defeating the purpose of Facebook?

    Are you talking about your timeline or your homepage? They got rid of the 'wall' in an update a while ago.

    Turn off your computer and join a sports club.

    It's in the settings. Many people have disabled other peoples' ability to write on their wall!

    I really hope the post quality is higher on your Facebook than on Boards. Because, if not, that's a pretty horrible wall!

    Well first of all. Don't add people you don't want to have on your friends list. And you can always unfriend/block someone if you don't want them writing on your wall.

    Get the Hoff to sing on top of it.

    Not sure you can do it man. There is an option on facebook where you can stop people posting on your wall. Check out the privacy settings option. If you have a situation arise just deactivate your account.

    Oh look at me, I have friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,537 ✭✭✭✭Cookie_Monster


    Tick the "forever alone" option in the settings menu

    Buy a 25 cent copybook and a nail and write your thoughts in blood, my advice buy lots of iron tablets. You want these issues to be wrote out clearly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,379 ✭✭✭hefferboi


    Pack it all in.

    Of all places, you ask on AH?

    Anyways if I say click, it means click the left mouse button, if I say right-click, it means click the right mouse button: Go to facebook.com
    Look at the top right corner, look for the right downwards facing arrow in the upper right of the screen, click privacy settings.

    New page opens. Look for Profile and Tagging, click Edit Settings. Set the settings to what you like. Setting it to just friends enables your friends to post, setting it to everyone (I have no idea if it's an option, though) lets anyone post and setting it to none, means nobody can post and you probably have nobody that likes you. :pac:

    And if you wish to be friendless, anti-social user of a social network you can just delete friends like sandmanporto said.
    Just go to the page and look for the little cog (it's like a spikey wheel) next to "Friends Message". Click it and select to unfriend them.
    Just a heads up about new friends, you don't need to decide to become friends with the millions of potential stalkers, you can just not decide to friend them or ignore them and decide at a later date (they'll still be under friend requests in the top left part of the screen).

    Post a status update telling people you don't want them to post on your wall. Problem solved.

    Update your status to say that you'll only be reading wall posts in braille from now on
