    Hi there,
    I just want to know if anyone knows if there is any way to prevent the below please.
    thanks.

    Ok, I'm no longer friends with a certain person, but we share mutual friends.

    What's happening is when this certain person tags a mutual friend and puts a stupid comment up at the same time on the Tag it shows up in my profile.
    I have all the Privacy settings set to so I can't be tagged etc. it's my friends who is being tagged along with a stupid comment I know is ment for my benefit, it's a sly way of trying to get to me.

    I am no longer friends with this person who is tagging, their profile is open to everyone too if that makes any difference?

    Please help cause I can't delete all our mutual friends over this one stupid person and I like FB so deleting my profile isn;t an option.

    Regards, Ed.

    Go to their page, click the settings wheel in the top-right (beside "Message") and block them. You won't be able to see anything from them then

    While this is an option, I wouldn't go down this route until absolutely necessary:
    - By not blocking them, you see exactly what is being said and if you are being mentioned ;
    - By blocking them, you won't see anything. Good option if you don't care what is being said by them, and to whom.

    The tag doesn't mention you, only your friend, hence the reason why it shows in your feed - your friend is being tagged.

    The only way then to not see any contact or communication from that person, as mentioned above, is to block the person doing the tagging & who you're not friends with and you won't see anything from them then :)

    Don't delete your FB account over someone else. Don't ever feel you ever have to go down that route if FB gives you some enjoyment and you like using your FB okay.

    With blocking, it is worth noting that you can always un-block at a later date. Maybe blocking that person could be a very short-term solution for you.
