Faceberk

[Gixer]

I rejoined Faceberk solely to access the Chausson Owners Group, which, briefly, was very good - however within hours I was blocked, and when I asked for a review, they wanted more details than I wanted to give, including photo. I hadn't been rude, posted any swear words, my only 'crime' was that I used a false name, made a new junk Gmail address and blocked all my information from being shared. Just shows what they want from it's users in order to function - never again

So you joined FB using a false name and a newly created gmail account and then complain when they block you?

 

[Gixer]

How do they know - I used 'normal' sounding name etc

Could have be many flags for them, the new gmail account for a start, something to do with you having a previous account linked to your means off access (phone/pc/ip address)

They wouldn’t have known for sure which is why they blocked it to be reviewed. Good on them.

I think there is so much pressure on social media to prevent trolling and other abuse they have to take these steps. Why not use your real name, photo, and regular email address?

Was it Farcebook or the admin of the group you joined that blocked you ?
Do you still have access to other parts of farcebook

I deleted my FB account 3 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Felt a sense of freedom.

I would never put anything about myself on any of those sites, it’s hard enough keeping your head down in normal everyday life.

Your sense of community spirit is interesting...
Did you want to access the Chasson Owners' Group to give help and information or did you just want to find out stuff?

I know of no other forum where members have so much grief coping with Facebook or making silly comments about about 'them knowing stuff'.

Don’t do face ache, Twitter or any of the others, mobile phone switched off except for emergencies, one email address, just 2 subs to sites, this and Fotobuzz.com for photography.
The release from being available 24/7 and people expecting answers immediately, not having the constant crap thrown at you by people who live in a hole( bloody social media, what’s social about it?) is like having a mediation session every day.

 

[phase3begins]

You tired and failed to deceive a free group and feel unhappy.
if you ever get scammed I bet you would say why didn’t ‘they’ prevent it.

The child bride originally got her mobile for emergency use and never switched it on. Pointed out on numerous occasions that maybe someone might need to ring her in an emergency!

Why not use your real name, photo, and regular email address?

Because of all the tat that you receive.
My wife at the last count had around 1500 email addys .Most have been in use for 15 + years.

I use my settings to block spurious emails and other stuff, dont have a problem. I do find Facebook becoming more essential as many small businesses use the platform for info, selling and booking.

 

[ShaKen]

I use Facebook for the Chausson Owners Group, (which is a private group), along with a handful of other Private groups.

I use my real name and email and use the privacy settings to make sure no one has access to my details. My profile is private and I don’t get any friend requests or other unwanted contact / communications

I get no spam email from Facebook or any other source related to it.

I’m still alive, my bank account has not been raided and the last time I checked I was not being followed by MI5 or any other security service.

You and your pesky competence with technology. You'll spoil it for all those who love to revel in their ignorance and regaling us with their "off the grid" lifestyle

Me no understand.... I am on F book with a false name [when in FT work was advisable not t have real name /details out there] which could not really be mistaken for a real name [as an aside everyone else I am in contact with from work also has a nom de net !] I have never had any emails from anything to do with face book - although sometimes adverts pop up on it with a spooky relevance to a topic I have been researching and it often suggests very odd 'friends' I may want to add to my huge following of 20 or so people ...
I have also joined several F Book groups[NC 500 - women with campervans - Loki the raven is a must ] so am I just unpopular? Not that I want any junk mail.....

I simply block any email I don't want and goes direct to spam.

No, that's my experience too. There are obviously links as everyone gets posts relating to subjects you have been looking at online.If you have your privacy sorted and ignore all but your known friend requests it can be useful for group info and products from sites you haven't seen before.There's plenty of opinionated rubbish too but, as with life, you can ignore, move on or join in. Occasionally a name from the past crops up through the way it works and,again, it's your choice as to whether to contact or not.
