Unfriend A Spammer in facebook

Indonesia
March 26, 2012 7:29am CST
With many user all around the world, facebook is really a great place to market your product. Whether it is a real product, services, or making money site. But sometime, people who use facebook for marketing their product forget that there is a limit where people can tolerate spam. If you tag all your friend in your product often, before long they will unfriend you because they feel annoyed from all those promotion you make. Do you ever unfriend a person because they are a spammer? Did that person is your real friend in a real world or just some one you know online? Or you don't even know the person? Thanks for your respond.

I really get annoyed when every time I open my Facebook account, my friends would tag me promoting something. I am no against with it but as much as possible, they must lessen it at times. It is one of the reason why I made a new account and deleted the old one. With my new account, everything is set into place. I don't get spams already because I prioritize important friends.

Well yes, it is really annoying. i already deleted a few friend before because what they tagged me all the time. Before i delete them, i already tell them to stop doing that, but since they have no ear, i then decide to delete their id from my account. It is my old friend, and we never communicate after that.

Actually, I do not accept friend invites from people whom I do not know personally. I have few facebook friends who I met online. And most of my friends do not have online jobs like me. So luckily, I have not experienced deleting spammer friends.

Oh i see. Since it never happened to you, it seem you don't have friend who use facebook to selling ( marketing their ) product. I think it is also a chance for you. Try marketing your product in facebook, you might get lucky. Thanks for you respond my friend.

First of all, my Facebook friends are mostly people I know in real life. But, there are a few businesses I am "friends" with - though I don't know who is actually running their Facebook account. I keep them only because I want/need the information that is related to that business. However, there was a time that one of them would make a comment in my photos or my other friends photos that was totally unrelated to the photo . . . it would mention some deal they had with a link. I didn't "unfriend" them - instead, I'd make some funny comment about what they wrote and relating it to my photo - or I'd just delete their spam. I haven't had to deal with those that over tag - but I did notice a friend of mine got tagged a zillion times the other day for some scrapbook pages their other friend was selling - so I had to just edit the options of how much I saw of this person in the newsfeed - that was highly annoying to have to scroll through all that - I am thinking my friend probably did not appreciate that either (especially since they were horrible scrapbook pages too). ANYWAY - if it were a spammer that wasn't a real friend and I didn't need anything whatsoever from them - I would delete them.

LOL, yes it is tempting to unfriend a friend when what they do in facebook is mostly piss you off. But well, you might think about your relationship in real life and not only in facebook. After you give it a thought, then decide what you think best. Thanks for your respond much2say.

Well thanks for sharing this with us much2say. Well it is really easy to unfriend a friend facebook list that you don't know personally. The hard part of unfriend-ing a person is, when you know the person in real life. It will be hard when you met them in real, because they might get offended.

I don't have friend that are spammers. If there some request from people that I don't know then I simply add I don't her or him then that person will not able sending friend request! I did recall a receiving friendship request via cell and that request wasn't even in my FB account, right away, I knew this person was spammer or even a hacker! So I blocked that person! If I need to promote something, I never tag anyone! If my friends like what I promoting then it up them to signup!

oh i see, well good for you to realize about those scammer, spammer or even hacker. It is always safe to reject people who you don't know to enter your friend list. You don't need to block them though, they might sent you a message and explain their self. I think by blocking them, you cut off all communication with them.

Well you actually know the person, but you were tag on to picture / status that have anything to do with you. It is tagged to you because they want to promote their product, their blog, their link, etc. It is kinda annoying. Thanks for your reply friend, have a nice day.

Woa! Hold one here! Why should be tag on someone else in which I don't even know? If what you said is more on tagging isssue, facebook give us a choice if we want to be tag or not!

I have a friend who do things like that, I unfortunately don't unfriend her because she's my friend. Kidding aside, I just ignore her tags and don't react as long as I'm not interested of what she is offering. I just understand her situation because I know that she is financially unstable.

The problem of getting tag is, when some one comment, liking or doing stuff in the place where we were tag ( either status or picture ), it usually give us a notification. If it just once, it is okay, i usually untag it, but if it happened often, it becomes really annoying. But well, it all back to us, whether we let it be or we do something about it.

I have added some new friends lately and I decided to unfriend them for this matter and some personal reasons. My Facebook account is designed only for social communication with my friends and family, and suddenly this people tried to post on my all and tag pictures about business without any permission given by me. And these really irritates me by the sense that it is for their own personal purpose and benefits to use other peoples account. It is really annoying for some people to take advantage of your privacy for their own good.

Yes posting pictures and tagging them to other people, especially if the pictures it self is have no connection with that person is simply annoying. The same thing also apply for status. If they are do that, then it wise to unfriend them, especially if they are a person that you don't know in real life.

Yes, it wise to avoiding unnecessary problem that caused by facebook status or picture that are tagged to us. If a problem a rise from that, it will be really silly since we can actually avoid it by unfriend the people who like to do that. Thanks for the respond.

Well i also get many invitation from apps user and apps gamers. But it is not as annoying as people who tagged you againts your will. Game request and apps request is not really annoying since you can mostly ignore them. Thanks for your respond in this discussion.

Well what bother me is not a person who like to post link and picture of promoting their product, but people who tag me into their promoted item. It is annoying because they keep doing that, and they doing that often. If they don't really heard about how bothersome what they do to me, then i unfriend them.

I personally never had this problem but, unfortunately, I know that it exists. I still have not agreed to spamm on facebook. Too easy to make propaganda without spending a single dollar! Then, as you rightly say, to act at this Manner, make yourself the enmity (obviously figured in). I did not hardly ever allowed to put on facebook not a referral link. For me, this site must remain to maintain good relations with my friends.

Well that is off course your choice. What make me feel so annoyed about spam tagging, it is because every person who comment, like or do other thing in the tagged picture or status will give us notification. But well, if you don't feel discturbed or annoyed by that, then letting it be is the right way.

You can unsubscribe from the person, and you can also remove his ability to tag you.

Oh i actually know that i can unsubscribe a friend, but to remove one ability to tag me is a new thing. How can you do that? Please tell me on a detail information. Because it really help me to have that, since i don;t need to unfriend my friend anymore, i simply remove their ability to tag me.

I get what you are saying. It’s quite annoying having a spammer in your face book. The right thing to do is block them, un-friend them and then report them. Some people really over do it at times. Your wall in face book is your personal space not a marke
