Facebook Jail, AGAIN!!!

What a lovely thing, and just in time for Christmas: 

 

Friend Requests Blocked for 7 Days

We received feedback that you sent multiple friend requests to people you don’t know, so you won’t be able to send friend requests for 7 days.

To keep this from happening again, please only send friend requests to people you know.

I understand that sending friend requests to people I don’t know isn’t allowed on Facebook.

Why am I seeing this?

 

No, I don't understand...
 

Merry Christmas, Facebook!

FaceBook Spankin, The Legacy

Hmm,


"Friend Requests and Messages Blocked for 4 Days

"To prevent you from contacting people against their wishes, your friend requests and your ability to send messages to strangers have been blocked for 4 days.

"Friend requests are more likely to be accepted when you send them to people you already know, such as classmates, friends, family and coworkers.

"If you use Facebook to communicate with strangers, they have the option to report that they don't know you or to mark the communication as spam. If this happens repeatedly, you could be viewed as violating Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

"If more of your friend requests are later marked as spam or reported for being sent to strangers, this block could be extended. To prevent this, you can cancel your pending friend requests.

"After this 4-day block has been lifted, please only send friend requests to people you believe will accept your requests.

"I understand that this block could be extended if I ignore this warning."

Well, here we go again.

Yesterday, I said, "I haven't slacked off. I'm still sending friend requests every day."


Oh, well.

The first time was 2 days. This time it's 4.

Go to my FaceBook page (you have to be logged in to FaceBook)

http://www.facebook.com/duane.hatter

and send me a friend request, I'll approve you.

FaceBook Jail, AGAIN!

Follow-up on FaceBook Spankin'

I had previously posted Facebook Spankin'

I'm amazed how many people have clicked thru and seen that. I'm far from being a viral web sensation, but that's a lot of page hits for me!

What I find most interesting is that FaceBook has lightened up and allowed me to send more friend requests than before.

???

That doesn't make sense. They told me that they were putting me in a 2 day timeout where I couldn't send friend requests. The next step was going to be worse, up to the termination of my account (or something like that).

I haven't slacked off. I'm still sending friend requests every day.

Were they bluffing (automated message), or do they just not want any negative press? I would assume they have better things to do than watch somebody like me, but...
It's not like I'm a heavy hitter in the blogosphere or anything.

I'm thankful anyway.

I'm not trying to hurt, bother, or spam anybody. Quite the opposite, I want people to live and live more abundantly.

I want people free!

Whether it's Twitter, Facebook, or anything else, all I do is post scriptures.

"I tell you the truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life." John 5:24 (NLT)

Simon Peter replied, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life." John 6:68 (NLT)

Does not My word burn like fire?" says the LORD. "Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?" Jeremiah 23:29 (NLT)

"It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow." 1 Corinthians 3:7 (NLT)

"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the One to whom we are accountable." Hebrews 4:12-13 (NLT)

"Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved." John 5:34 (NLT)

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God." John 3:3 (NLT)

So don't be surprised when I say, 'You must be born again.'  John 3:7 (NLT)

If you can't handle The Word, you can't handle life.

My intent is not to make you feel better;

I want God to make you better.

Facebook Spankin'

Uh boy!  Give me a break!

Facebook, Facebook, FACEBOOK!

I sent too many friend requests and somebody complained.

Now, I'm locked down for 2 days, in FaceBook Jail, and can't submit any friend requests.

I think in the state of New York, and maybe Illinois that would classify as defamation and/or degradation of character. Some hack attorney, a corrupt judge and I'd land half a million dollars! Maybe I could change it to

Face-Duane!!!

Anyway...

I'm laughing on the inside. There's a big smile on my face as I type this. I'm only just slightly perturbed.

We could have some fun though. Everybody that reads this pass this on to your friends. Tell them to click on my FaceBook page and send me a friend request.
http://www.facebook.com/duane.hatter
It will probably hiccup, but follow through with the error report. We could flood FaceBook with a million requests...
Demand that they release Duane Hatter from FaceBook friend request jail!
It will become a web trend.
If we hit this hard enough, they'll even talk about it on the evening news-

"A Greeneville TN man was wrongfully jailed for submitting too many friend requests on FaceBook. Police patrols have been increased for fear of riots and looting.  Mark Zuckerberg was unavailable for comment."

What is FaceBook? Is it not a book-of-faces? I mean, everybody in your friend list, do you know them?
I mean, do you really know them?
Do you really, really know them?

Come on, I've got 261 "friends"... do they really know me?

Of course not! That's my point.

I'm not "spamming" anyone. I'm not trying to link people to an offshore pharmacy website,
I'm not trying to get them to an online casino,
I not even trying to get anybody to check out a male or female, young or old, straight or otherwise, single or multicolored dating/sire/escort service website.

I'm not selling anything....

It's late. We'll pick this up tomorrow...

FaceBook Issue

This is just too funny! I've been trying to post this info to FB and can't do it! I finally got some links, but here's the whole thing-

http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=193359407366850

PLEASE READ - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS!!

Because of FB changes... this is the only way I can get information to ALL my Facebook friends.....

Forgive the invite. This is not really an "invitation", so no need to press "attend" -
...
Facebook likes to make changes and not really tell everyone. This is an easy way to get the word out - and currently the only way to assure that everyone can see it.

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:

The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right) Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed however page owners should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.

The good news is: now you can now view all of your friends and fans again. The bad news is: YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. You must get the word out to ALL of your friends and fans by inviting them to this event or creating one of your own so they can read the post and adjust their settings. To invite your friends: Click on "Attending" at the top and then you will see an option to invite your friends at the top left. It’s public so everyone who logs onto facebook can view it and even the friends who can’t see your posts WILL see the event invitation. You can also tweet about it, create a blog post or send out an email to your subscribers in hopes of reaching them all.

You're my friend and I want to keep in touch. So, please take a minute and change your settings so we can keep in touch! Thanks.
