I hate when I join an online dating service and the person has not posted their photo

Online dating works only if you post a great profile and an up to date photo. No one likes a blind date!! You can type back and forth for months (if you have the time) and then finally meet in person and realize that the person is just not your type. There is always the explanation that they do not want their friends to see them on a dating site - but that is one of the reasons why you will stay single. You signed up on a dating site to meet people so the number one rule is to post your photo or you will not get any responses. Make sure your photo is current, you will meet this person one day and nothing is more surprising when you meet is to find that the person in the photo is YOU five years ago.

Do not post a photo with family members, your dog or cat is fine, make sure you are smiling or at least happy. The number of people who post photos of other family members and complaints come rolling in that they did not have permission to use their photo. So avoid this.

Help I am having problems with Facebook
I am reading this more and more every day. What was your problem on Facebook?

1. I  deleted my profile but signed back in 3 months later and it was still there.  How can they do this?
2. I contacted Facebook about my profile being disabled and still fighting with the, how long does this take?
3. I added a bunch of people from school and now I have to fill in a security code and they give me a warning about only adding people who are really my friends??
4. Privacy settings…should I change them?  What is the big issue?
5. A family member has passed away, what happens to their Facebook account?
6. My friend posted some photos of me - we are no longer friends and I want her to get rid of them and she won’t what do I do now?

There are so many issues with Facebook right now but I will try to respond to as many as I can

Question 1. Facebook stores your information for several reasons, if you disable your account and had been guilty of “bullying” they would need your information in order to investigate.  Or if you have made threats to any individual.

Question 2, there is no set date it could take weeks or even months (from the stories that I have had heard.

Question 3, this is for your protection as there are friend adder bots out there that are sending thousands of requests.  With this added protection it is stopping these bots.

Question 4, I can NOT stress this enough.  Read up about this http://www.allfacebook.com/2009/02/facebook-privacy/  Years from now when you apply for that teachers job, or any job for that matter your photos could come back and haunt you.  Yes, all those drunken photos, parties, you being caught doing things that were…well you know what I mean.  Any one of your friends can right click that photo of you and God knows where it will end up.  This is important on Facebook, take off your birthdate, not only would a criminal have your photo, your birthdate, schools you have attended, places of employment, even your kids names (and some people put their birth dates).  Tighten up your privacy now, you may trust your friends but remember when you accept friendship from them you are also giving their friends access to your photos and information if you do not change your settings.

Question 5, In their privacy policy, FB say:

Memorializing Accounts. If we are notified that a user is deceased, we may memorialize the user’s account. In such cases we restrict profile access to confirmed friends, and allow friends and family to write on the user’s Wall in remembrance. We may close an account if we receive a formal request from the user’s next of kin or other proper legal request to do so.

I know that as a mother who has lost her son, it is good to have a page to go to somewhat like visiting a gravesite where I can see old photos, friends and people who have left memorial messages.  So this is up to the family, but I would be interested in your thoughts.

Question 6 - Unfortunately Facebook will only take notice if they are impersonating someone (especially someone famous), or you report nude or pornographic photos.  Facebook has become so massive that it is nearly impossible for them to keep up with the requests to re instate profiles, remove photos, and respond to every email.  They are in the advertising business, we are NOT their customers.  If you fall out with a friend or family member it is probably best to remove them as a friend rather than see the photos all the time.  Better still for all the young ones out there, if someone takes your photo with their cellphone it is guaranteed it will show up on Facebook so hide your face.  I talked to our local police last weekend.  They are sick and tired of the complaints about Facebook because there is nothing they can do unless there are threats made.  It is she said, he said, friends falling out and want their photos taken down etc and the Police can not help in that situation.

Here is another one that people never think of..all those status updates of you going away on holiday, going to the store back in 15 mins, taking Greg to soccer could be read by the WRONG person.  Or I am home alone this weekend people..let’s party.  Giving details about your kids, their ages, photos..hmmm are you getting this?

How can Facebook brag about the numbers of users when children under the age of 13, Scammers with fake profiles and fake pages are allowed to be made there.  Facebook depends on advertising revenue, and information is pulled from profiles such as age, marital status to the kinds of movies they watch.  How accurate can Facebook stats be for advertisers when there are so many fake profiles.  Something MUST be done about this!!  The list above is only the tip of the Iceburg. If your account has been disabled by Facebook because they think you are fake you can appeal. If you make too many friends your account will be disabled by Facebook. What is your answer to this problem?

I feel bad for the Facebook group called Disabled Dating Service as they will have to close their fan page because of the ignorance of these people.  If you have ever had to report a person to Facebook you will know what a tedious, time consuming process this.

Facebook are you listening??? Hello??

Had your account disabled by Facebook, that is another problem..post your comments here

Do you want to keep Facebook Free?

Facebook is free because companies pay to have their ads put on their site.  The information you put in your profile is very important as Facebook uses it to target customers.  If you are single you will see dating sites. If you love motorcycles you will see ads for motorcycles. When you tell Facebook that you like certain television shows, music, or hobbies all this information is used so that you only see advertising that might be useful to you.

It is not easy for advertisers to get on Facebook, they must be approved and it is not easy!! The photo that they use for a dating site Facebook says: Images, may not be provocative, risqué, or include nudity. And dating ads should be targeted to users over 18 who are listed as single.   No ad may be deceptive or fraudulent about any offer that it makes.To find out just how tough it is to be an advertiser check out this link: Facebook Common Ad Mistakes.

If you find an ad that you feel is deceptive you can report it to Facebook.

This is a sponsored post by a dating service that caters to singles in Canada Keep Facebook Free support the companies that advertise on Facebook.

It’s official according to one user on Facebook, who has managed to attract 946,961 members as of 9:16 p.m. on March 21, 2010.

He goes on to say that Mark Zuckerberg has got a lot of offers to BUY Facebook and THOSE people will charge Facebook users!!

OOOH and they have a “INVITE PEOPLE TO JOIN”

1. Who are these people and why do they want you to join this group?
2. What is the REAL REASON they started this group???
3. Have you heard of an URBAN LEGEND?
4. Do you know what “Drinking the Kool-Aid means”?   According to Wikipedia - The phrase Drinking the Kool-Aid means to become a firm believer in something, to accept an argument or philosophy wholeheartedly or blindly. The term originated with the Jonestown Massacre^[1][2][3]
   

These guys are SCAMMERS and not the first people to spread this rumour or start a petition to stop Facebook from charging people.  Depending on your privacy permissions that you set on your profile you have just given these two guys a ton of information about yourselves.  They have your photos, they can click on your profile and get information about you.  They saw a way to attract people like bees to flowers..everyone has fell for it.

Urgent REMOVE YOURSELF from this Facebook group now

PROTECT YOURSELF your information is being stolen!!

What they DID NOT TELL YOU

They want you to go to this page:

Earn a free Apple iPad is by working as a tester. They send you a free iPad, and you use it for a week and then write a 300 word review. They let you keep the iPad as a thank you for your work.

And then there is a link to a website that lures you in:
