"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

I've had someone friend request me twice, even though I ignored/cancelled/whatever the first time.

This one guy I barely remember from school kept going off FB, re-opening his account and requesting me again. After the third time I ignored him.

How long does it take for the system to delete your account after you cancel, BTW?

Until the internet breaks. From what I understand, it doesn't delete your account at all and keeps in on constant stand-by for reactivation.

And the guy you're talking about had to rerequest you?

Apparently so - maybe you have re-request everyone when you reactivate.

walk of shame

I add everyone and just put them in a list where they can't see anything I post at all.

sometimes I think the greatest act of 'terrorism' available to humanity would be to bomb the Facebook servers

greatest act of terrorism, greatest gift to humanity

tyler durden watch out

it would of course be an action by definition the opposite of terrorism

if facebook did not exist it would be necessary to create a fan page for it

Apparently so - maybe you have re-request everyone when you reactivate.

Strange--the person I'm talking about always has his friends list intact when he reopens his account.

Can you Like Facebook on Facebook? Bit like putting 'Google' into Google.

xpost - guess he must've actually defriended everyone for some strange reason then. He did the same thing to a few other people as well.

There is a Facebook fan page on Facebook, I'm a member.

I have 75 limbo dancers in my friend request queue and don't add anyone I'm ambivalent about.

so do you keep your enemies closer then

Not on Facebook.

literally limbo dancers? like their pictures are all them going under the stick?

Facebook is like Skynet. It is beyond destroying by this point.

Thanks! I did think it rather fine myself, but I hate to blow my own trumpet.

I get nervous when I see a friend is going to make "roster cuts" on Facebook. makes me wonder if I've done enough to make their friendship team.

Blocking is the way to go. No half measures.

Is it still keeping up with your friends if you systematically ignore everything they do? I don't block people but I find myself constantly clicking that X to hide Farmville/Frontierville/Mob Wars/iLike/Daily Horoscope/Which Irritating Facebook Application Are You?

isn't there an actual hide button for those apps that let you never see them again? or is that what you're talking about?

That "x" button will hide an entire application. That way you only ever have to see Farmville one time, x it and rid yourself of it forever. Until the next annoying application comes about...

I was trying to find ways to hide certain people, but I couldn't, so I just culled them instead

how do you un-hide someone from yr news feed?

Maybe try liking something by them?

b-b-but i don't like anything

ironic

Yes that's what I meant. There seems to be a new annoying thing that needs hiding every other day.

stfu alanis xp

songs wouldn't be so angsty if you were a little nicer tbh

anyway i've done it myself, no thanks to your mid-90s alt-rock stylings

On the main feed page scroll all the way down to the bottom. Under the feed there is a link that says "edit options". If you click there a box comes up and you can type in friends names and hide or unhide them from the feed.

thanks, i got there in the end. didn't approve of facebook 'helpfully' extending the feed off the page as i tried to click the button tho
