When I open my facebook I want to see people posting about the latest news, events, videos, music, good info, quotes, the good stuff. I hide those people who keeps on ranting about how they feel miserable, those people who always gets sick, people who just sells stuff, and people who trash talk other people. People like this, I either hide them or block them, lol. They are not worth reading about.

Hi dear, It is upto you that whom you need to keep with or hide. From your experience, people who do some foul play, you can terminate or block. It is totally upto you and many cases avoid for a better look and clean page for you. All want to do something or other with someone else’s pages. Ignore them or block which is inappropriate. Even I do that. Regards, Thank-s

I have block trouble makers,and people who have no respect.I personally block people,because they are asking for email address and phone number. And I also block the one who curse out other people,on their statues.So am using the block feature very well,their are some sick an crazy people on this social network site now a say .I even hide my friend list too,because they go through your friend list an add people who they don't even know.

Hi, santosmarichris. I hide posts from others when I don't want them to see anything public that I allow any of my friends to see. This is usually because they are nosy or they may have something negative or sarcastic to say to me. I also block many people, because they may have said something sassy or smart to me that I don't like. I don't have the time to deal with B.S., so blocking people on Facebook is a better way for me to deal with them, without going off on them!

I hide/block a few people like the ones who put every move they make on there. E.g. going to Asda to do the food shop, back from asda now doing the ironing, finished the ironing now having a cup of tea. It just clogs up the wall with drivel and I hide them from my feed. I also block applications like frontierville etc as there are so many notifications of people needing stuff for their games it swamps the interesting stuff.

There are people I hate seeing their posts on Facebook when they are cutting others or something down, and sometimes the language they use, and have blocked them as a Friend in the future etc. especially when I do not know them. I think that is the problem there is too many times people do not think about what they post, or even care and it makes you wonder. But as for other things, since I also have a Business I do online and offline I promote, plus other times try promoting myLot to get new people here, I would never block them unless they started trying to get to pushy or argumentative as well.

I only have one person blocked and it's because she did something very disrespectful toward me and I can't stand to even look at her face. I don't really have any others blocked and have no problem with them.

i dont accept too much people on my account. i only accept people that i have concern and i care. i also deleted a few relatives that pissed me. so i dont need to hide them i delete them. my page is private so all they can see is the info is not filled with real things about me. a have few close friends and a few relatives. of course my siblings and their partners are also my friends on my account. but if i dont need them or i dont like them i delete them.

Maybe it's worth for you but other worth for it, my friend. Accept the facts that facebook have a millions of members around the globe and there are people around the world want to benefit for it...that is why they take the opportunity to show and sell products and or promote something...not bad to do it unless they don't harm people around that best social networking site... Have a great day!

hi there! i think that is what facebook supposed to be. it's about latest news of people we know.it is either they share us their opinion or daily life.and it includes everything that you mentioned above.it is a medium for many concepts and aspects.some will use it to socialized while some use it for business purpose.i am fine with that since all of them are from my friends list so it is okay.

I have those kind of people on my timeline, at first I was kind of annoyed, but then I've learned to get used to it, I don't hide or block them. I guess it's the purpose of facebook, to share what's on their mind, people have different attitude and/or views, I just have to learn to accept that.

I'm not a usual facebook visitor but when i visit facebook, i just check the notifications and then log out. I don't wanna bother reading news from others. It's just a waste of time. They're just posting news regarding their lives anyway.

I do not block anyone. I just go over the status and respond if I like or just ignore if it does not tickle my fancy. I have no problem with people who rant or vent their feelings but I do not like to read so much about people who brag or boast about the many blessings they have in life. That just makes a lot of people more miserable.

So far, I have'nt block anyone in my facebook. ^.^ But I don't appreciate people posting any updates of there lives. Specially there lovelife. Hahaha.. What I enjoyed most in my facebook is just like you, reading nice quotes, watching videos, and listening to music posted by my friends. Also I used to enjoy playing game applications but lately Im getting bored of it. Now, I seldom visit facebook. ^.^

I don't really think I have ever blocked anyone on facebook before. I do hide some status updates from certain people though, even though I love them dearly. Normally the ones I hide have extensive curse words in them or are bad mouthing other people. I don't really want to fill my head with negativity, so those are the people I hide. I've never blocked anyone, though.
