How do you handle inappropriate conversation that shows up on your wall?

I simply delete anything inappropriate that I come across. It's my wall and I have a right to delete anything I see that is posted on it. If it seems to be a persistent offender, I just remove them from my friends list or block them. If the comments appear on your Home page (because they are on a friend's wall), then other people won't see them as being on your 'wall' when they visit your profile. You can always restrict, delete, block or 'unfriend' people. Make sure that your privacy settings are the way you want them.

Best think t do is delete the whole conversation. Perhaps block the users who insist on using language that offends you. Or, change your privacy settings so those people can not post to your wall.

Personally when I catch them I will remove them or anything posted there that seems to be inappropriate. Yes, unfortunately not everyone there will have the same thoughts feelings and beliefs so for you it might just take a little weeding to know what you will consider appropriate on your wall as well.

This could be very frustrating I can bet if you are offended with their dialect. I dont like what some people post, but I have a very large assortment of people with different personalities. I a, pretty laid back in face book its only a site where people rant and rave or share beautiful expression. Its hard to get me mad there and there is no one attacking me there. If there were they would be deleted. I would delete their post if it did effect me. I do agree with you on the kids censoring tho. They should not be exposed to that on facebook or any other place for that matter.

To be honest, I don't go on facebook very much. I do visit very now and again, but fir the most part I am usually too busy. As far as my wall...noway I would have anything inappropriate. When I signed up I found out that there were several people that I work with on facebook and they sent me requests right away. I hear them sometimes talking about this post and that post..so I know that if anything were ever on my wall to talk about, they would. I actually had a coworker post a comment to my status about other people that might have been taken as a racial comment. I deleted the whole thing right away. I am in management at work so it is very important that I present myself in a certain manner to coworkers.

Have you set your privacy settings for the posts you don't want to see? There is someone who is a FB "friend" though not someone I actually know and I just removed their stuff from my news stream. My settings only allow people I know and designate to post on my wall.

Hi. lunenmom. I would just delete this person off of my Facebook wall. I also would delete them as my friend too. People will just have to understand that their are teens that are online and they have to be very careful of the negative language that they speak in. It is very important that they do so.

There are options on facebook to hide a particular post, or hide all posts from particular users. Personally I think if someone were getting into arguments and using profanity too often, I'd probably just delete them from my friends. There's no reason to be friends with a person who would stoop so low!

I have tons of friends who I don't really know because I play games. I delete all inappropriate pictures and comments every day. I'm pretty ruthless, I'll delete a bikini, a low cut shirt or an adult male without a shirt. I also block people from posting. My wall is nice and clean.

It's not the things that people post to my wall that I find is the problem, it is what people post to each other that show up on my news feed. I hate to "block" these people, because I do recognise that they are different to me, and also that not everybody chooses to maintain the high standards that I do.

Hi there lumenmom!!! Whenever I see conversation that include inappropriate words in my wall what I am doing is to just hide the posts.It is better that I don't see it anymore in my wall becoz it is only making me think bad of the persons who are involve in that conversation. Maybe people nowadays were influenced by many factors around them that they already forgot how to act properly in the net.The impressions that this persons are making are not really good and people might think bad of them.

I do not get into these situations because we do not share information with everyone on Facebook. Make conversation delete and modify all settings.

In contrary, why would you care to those conversations that may hurt you? It's simple, before you delete the conversations, report it to Mark Zuckerberg and let's see what he can do. Thanks :)

Very difficult question and I cant explain anything because this is depend upon the conversation. I will not reply on rude messages or not reply of inappropriate conversation leave it as it is.

hi lumenmom, when you feel you are being pointed out or people blaming you or doing something which you don't like then simply delete the conversation, or you got many options like removing those persons from your buddies list or you even can block them or change your privacy settings like don't let such persons common on your wall, if not simply message them personally that you don't like such things, some may understand.....don't worry

If the conversation was profane and infammatory or insulting, I would delete it from my wall. There is a small cross that appears in wall discussions that appear when I pass my mouse over it. There is no point in having name-calling and profanity, it doesn't get anybody anywhere. I do however, enjoy debate and would argue with somebody to discover truth, but name-calling and swearing I find completely infantile. Everybody is different and I like to celebrate those differences and perhaps learn something new. _Derek

This does not really happen to me. I think most people see that I keep a professional Facebook profile page, so they have mostly given up on doing things like that on my wall or sending me silly things. As I have an online business , I like to maintain some sort of professionalism on there, so any time someone does anything that ends with something silly on my wall, then it gets deleted by me really fast. The thing that bugs me is YouTube how the comments on a lot of videos are really rude most of the time. People get so nasty on there and I just do not understand why?

Hi Lumenmon. I understand what you mean. It's really irritating when friends call each other names and start using profanity. You mention that your daughter will see it? She is using your facebook account? Perhaps you can tell your friends nicely that you have a daughter who constantly views your wall and tell them you hope there will be no use of profanity. I believe they will understand.

Yes, i have seen some who vented out their ill feelings in Facebook. I feel sorry whenever i see one. For me, it is best that we don't have it published in a social networking site. Maybe , it should have been just between the two, not for others to see and comment on.

My advice for you in this dilemma is you have to inform or advise your friend in facebook to refrain in posting words of profanity. Of course, you should not comment on his/her wall but rather tell this to him/her through a private message. I salute you for being morally upright! :)
