Warning facebook

You pretty much said everything.

The problem with those "friends" websites is that some people have to be friends with everyone... no matter what.

I've had people request to be my friend just because they wanted to or because they saw me a few months ago and that meant we were friends.

One guy requested to be my friend, but I didn't recognize the name. I asked him where he knew me from. His response? "We met 3 months ago. I was walking down the hall and dropped my book. You picked the book up for me. So, we're friends." :crazy:

There are some people who are just competing to have the most friends. I've seen some who have over 1,000 friends. He probably only talks to 10 of them. :roll:

I only become friends with people that I consider to be good friends and those that I trust. These people are usually the ones that I've met in real life. :)

I agree with you..whenever people who I dont recognize request me to be their friend, I send them a message asking them how do I know u. In most cases, they were my childhood friends and lately, I have been getting a lot of them and now my friend's list is over 300...I didnt expect that! I just went thru my friends' list to make sure that I know everyone..so far so good. Someone asked me if I was trying to be popular but it just happened that I went to a high school with over 2,000 students and I guess everyone knew who the only two deaf girls there at the time! :lol:

It's only not safe if you do it wrong.

If a woman meets a stranger through Facebook and meets him in person, then gets raped by that stranger... then it's that woman's own fault for choosing to meet a stranger.

Don't blame Facebook.

The same thing happened with MySpace, Tickle, Ringo, etc... :roll:

Yes that is correct same with Deaf Single Connect, it is dangerous too. Important, you chat on video phone until you trust with that person.

I have 800 friends on my list just use your judgment.
 
You can't blame on Facebook or myspace. Both are the same! It's not good for kids to go on myspace or facebook without parents know.

I don't have a problem with facebook or myspace so lately. I set my both profiles private. The stranger will not able to go into my both profiles.

I don't like to meet many strangers from my friends' which I don't know them. If I don't know that person and send a message to find it out who it was. If I don't know who then deny on them.

I don't give a bleep about one of person have 2,000 friends. She met many stranger friends. :roll: She think she is popular in FB. Who cares??? She is crazy! That's not my problem.

I prefer know who are people from my friends and family only!
 
Thank you so much information to correct to right. I am happy to hear about to support to discuss to feedback to try be careful. I am protect to safe. I wish be careful because I am help you. I have trust to you. I am very careful avoid to stranger. I don't like that is about to stranger. I am protect to stranger is not talk to you. I don't like that is getting trouble. I guard to people is not trust to people.
 
I have Facebook acct but I don't use it often. I only invites those who I knew who. I had some strangers and I wouldn't invite and left them hanging high and dry. It is wise to be careful and don't reveal where exactly you live, own ect. When you take pix of house, do not take pix of background of house. Just fill the pix of house and delete or whiteout the house number and change some things around on landscaping using Photoshop so people can't reconize it. There are "cookie cutter" houses everywhere so no one can't figure it out.

Catty.
 
I agree purplecatty good point. I am proud of you be careful I concern about to really serious. I don't like that is very not good point. I know warned to be carefully. I am concern about to people. I understand that is point.
 
I have Facebook too but the only people on my friend's list are people I know, whether they are close friends or acquaintances - but at least that much. I wouldn't have added someone that I met 3 months ago who picked up my book, either. I have turned down numerous requests when they are people I really don't know or only met once. What's the point?

It's just the common sense tho.

Men even Women should be very careful about meeting online. There's always sticky issue no matter what. I have heard sad stories of what happened to them. I prefer see live person than online. Basically, Person who want to "meet" online is always a "mask" (who knows a beautiful sexy blondie on pix and meet real live person may be a fat ugly "browndie" :giggle:). For example. My friend "deafsingle" online and met with women. One of them is from Russia. He doesn't know how to get around like I do. So while I helped him fix the payment on "deafsingle" account and I took liberty browse around his account under his watch cuz he wanted me to add pix ect. I spotted Russian woman with man and kid. In my mind,.... That's not a single woman! She appeared to be married and just "meeting" him online just to earn money.

I've heard another friend same thing and he was thinking about flying over to Russia to meet her. It's his problem but I don't think it's gonna work. Sure enuf, my word is true. Question in my mind, why did they just have to fly over across the ocean just to meet!!?? Why not local!

Best way to meet someone is to socialize and travel to different convention, NAD, MAAD and many deaf gathering and meet new people than using Online.

Facebook is pretty much same. Just be careful who you choose. If you knew this person that you haven't met for very long time, Best that you try reconize their face if you are familiar with like scar, facial feature, ect since they have grown into adulthood and may not look the same like you saw them years ago. It may not hurt to ask if they remmy certain things and if they responded exactly what both of you remember clearly that's fine.

I don't have to "search" friends on Facebook, I simply ask around group of local friends or Email friends and heard where he or she live now and I told my friend mind to let them know I'm on Facebook. Bingo! I got lists of friend who wanted to invite is what exactly I'm looking for. Sorry, I was looking for ez life.:cool2::giggle:

If you haven't done anything wrong in facebook like threats, radical slur ect. Then you are off the hook. What they are looking for those who are really involved in causing problem in facebook.

But I have right human. I have heard about to someone having bad swearing or banned to disable on www that is very seriously but i understand really that is not good facebook. i think so warning but i have someone causing to against to law. I think so possible law: that is very strict to more law. that is risk crime high worst to Saskatchewan very bad things. I think so very dangerous people stranger person that is very dangerous weapon. that is very scared. I think so getting dangerous. I think so understand important to appropriate to law respect to facebook. I have right. I think so you are must to honor to law. I think so not funny i serious that is very hooker someone caught to porn or someone bad things. I think so not good that is sometimes having bad things. I think so getting big trouble in big trouble as whole very dangerous that is not good safe but i protect to people is trust to friends. i think so getting protect to people safe don't want to harassment to bother lawful. WIll go to JAIL maxium 20 years future you law change strict to better safe. Government to decided will order you police will responsibility search find caught to people bad
 
I didn't know Canada does have serious problem with crime in Saskatchewan. I'm from Kansas, USA. It is a bit more flexible and we do have high crime in one of city in Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, Missouri (city straddle between stateline). I live far from it. Yes, We have Homeland Security do the check if something goes bad on Facebook. Basically, they'll send email or member's weblink a warning. I recalled 7 years ago that We had a warning Email from AOL ( I was member of AOL back then) stating that telling me and rest of other to stop Flaming (cuz one deaf sending out flame email). It wasn't my fault cuz I was not involved but someone had my Email on their mailing list. I recalled received email from one angry deaf about deaf guy who stole her car and credit card ect.. stuff like that.

So given idea that Facebook will send out warning first. If not resolved then they'll cut off membership. If person subbornly sign up in different name in Facebook and do over, they'll send out cops to investigate. If death threat, they'll call Homeland Security and I'm sure they'll send SWAT team over to person's house. (in USA). :eek2::io:

Yes, that's right.

I have Facebook but I only accept the people whom I know from AD, several Forums and British friends.

I ignored Facebook members because I don't know them. If I doubt either I know them or not then message them asking either I know them or not first before confirm to accept them as my friend.
 
Yup! Of course, facebook cannot kept secret as diary (book). Be careful what you advertise to public. be smart plus common sense what else I should say.
 
Wow that is fraud facebook

That is theft and gettting take an advantaged to people. People angry to order owe to money. I won't getting money. I won't be answer to pay for money. I understand why reason warned facebook is very dangerous. I understand virus you give you worst to bad............. I don't want to getting trouble someone shh tell to something. i understand shoot oh my god I awm shocked to you already to inspector find crime person. I think so crime in Saskatchewan is warned to worst to crime. I understand someone is worst to people> I need to tell to something people shocked. I warned to tell to people. I trsut to you. You blocked to facebook, myspace, nexopia.... That is horrible dirty busniess that is strict to law.
 
I love Facebook more than MySpace do. I found so many of my good and long lost friends from two of my schools- Texas School for the Deaf and a high school in my hometown. and several of my family in that. I always careful on whom request me to add them. If I don't know them, I would ask them how they know me before I reject their request. =)

Ditto

I have strangers to request me to be their friend. I messaged them asking who they are. All what they said to me is: They want to know me better and be my friends, etc. I pressed to ignore them because I didn't know them. I only accept anyone I know well.

It's wonderful feeling when I was in facebook because I know many people from my school after between 20 and 30 years no see... We shared the photos of our school together in facebook photo album... It's really wonderful to meet them and also chat with them via facebook. I know some friends, I still contact with... I must say that I THANK Kalisa (ADer) for recommend me to register facebook. I would never meet them if Kalisa didn't introduce me to facebook.
