Help keep from driving your non gaming Facebook friends crazy with game posts..

My bit of Facebook Netiquette..

from WinCustomize Forums

If you are tired of getting tons of FB game invites and postings pass this tip on to your gamer friends, or if you want to be cool to your non gaming friends on FB use this tip yourself...

 

Create a new list in friends naming it Farmville for example or {what ever your games name is}, add all your farmville neighbors and save.. now when one of those windows popup asking you to publish say finding a golden egg, look next to the publish button for a lock looking symbol clik it and select custom, then in the new window that pops up select " specific people" in the" make this visible to these people" menu. In the text box below it, Type in Farmville ( it will automatically show the Friends group in a drop down as you start typing it) then hit save and publish, this will send that announcement and only publish to those in that group of people.... as a side note you can also use this to select specific people to send things too by just doing as above by typing the individual names instead of typing in the friends list. do the same with each game making a friends list and using the custom send features to send them to just those for each game or specific people.. remember you will need to use the same group name in the custom send feature as you created in the friends list.. Also it will not auto add new members to the friends list as you add them to a game.. you will have to add them to that games friends list for them to see the game postings you send..

I hope this tip helps you not drive your non gaming pals crazy as well as not flood thier walls with stuff they really dont want to see.

well I have friends who play and many who dont.. I figured a way to keep both sides happy, those who want to see the game posts get them and those who dont.. dont.. I figured I would share the tip with everyone.

I keep hoping the Mafia Wars people will kill all the farmers at Farmville and then starve to death themselves from lack of food--a win-win situation.

LOL sad part is in real life the farmers would win as most farmers I know... were taught how to properly fire a weapon and hit what they aim at.. not spray and pray..  ;)

...Or they could do what I do and just hide game posts so I see only what matters to me... |-)

Where can I sign up! XD  

On a side note: For anyone sending me a facebook "friends" invite...If I don't know your real life name or alternate name used on facebook your invite will just be deleted/ignored. And no...sorry...no time for virtual vegetable growing or mafia wars (I can't believe I said that! Virtual farming! What will they think of next!) :O XD

Yeah, it's not like the Hide button is really well hidden or anything.  :D   I already hid FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, and whatever the hell else was spamming the crap out of me.

 

I almost like Castle Age.  It's still crap, but it's got half decent art at least.

I'm on Facebbok myself and it annoys me sometimes to get all of them notifications but I just ignore them. I'm not into playing them games. I have alot of family and friends that really get into it, but if that's what they liked, oh well. I can deal with it.
