Anyone else getting tired of Facebook's bull@#$%?

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

Just had to submit an issue to Facebook. Not that I expect them to do a damn thing about it since this is a common question in their help section and they can't seem to be arsed to address it.

Seriously, there are people who have been asking about this since 2013

This is what I sent...

<snip>

Ok, I logged out of Facebook to allow my wife to log on and check her page.

IT WILL NOT LET HER LOG IN!

The problem seems to be the fact that we have similar login addresses. Mine is [email@gmail.com], hers is [email that differs by only two letters@gmail.com].
It keeps saying that "It looks like you entered a slight mispelling of your email or username. We've corrected it for you, but ask that you re-enter your password for added security"

Congratulations! You have managed to fix it so spouses can no longer share a computer or tablet device if they have the same email provider and use the more professional form of addressing using initials and last name.

I know that most of your users use very creative and unique email addresses like "He_Who_PWNs_Noobs@nerd.com" and "can_and_will_suck_a_bowling_ball_through_a_garden _hose@drunkslutswithnomorals.net", but there are some of us out there who have this thing called dignity and restraint.

Fix this. I never asked nor would I ever want a login page to assume that it knows more than I do and would incorrectly assume that I'm a @#$%ing moron who can't type in my own email address when my wife is the one trying to log in to water her @#$%ing vegetables in Farmville.

I'm not saying Facebook should keep this system... but it seems strange to me that people sharing a computer wouldn't have their accounts *there* separate. Doesn't work so well on tablets, but unless FB's changed, they try to prevent the same tablet (or phone, at least) from using more than one account anyway.

I'm pretty sure everyone's been getting tired of Facebook's bullshit ever since the day they joined.

Facebook fails.

I was never that active, but it was nice to check every now and then. Well when I was out of town and tried to access my FB from the hotel, I got asked all this security crap. One of the questions was my date of birth, but apparently I don't know my own birthday so I haven't been able to log on.

Google Plus is looking pretty good now... At least you can comment on youtube.

Facebook also shit me off at one point in regards to a particular page. This page was basically of topless images that were grabbed from snapchats. (If you can capture the image prior to the deletion, ta-dah, it's there!) No clue as to whether the people on the page were underage or not, I submitted a report request. (the group was "private")

Got a response back that no, this page did not violate community standards.

My response back to them was basically a long sophisticated-as-hell message that basically stated that they were harbouring child pornography and appeared to basically condone it, let alone encourage it, pointing out their double standards* and then finishing by wondering if the bots actually moderating said page got off on the images. (I can be a master at writing polite rants that basically insult the other person)

The group was later shut down.

*-two friends of mine (one a professional photographer, the other a digital artist) kept getting their artworks deleted from their pages because the artworks depicted naked women from the waist up (and were also done tastefully WITH the subject's consent). Yet they had no issue with topless girls who may or may not have been under 18.

I may be one of the few people in my age bracket left in the world who has yet to join Facebook or Twitter.

I met my partner through twitter.

Count me in. I'm really over their bullshit, especially lately.

Not everything about Facebook, just some of the people, as usual.

I got nominated for the ice bucket challenge. I flat out told my coworker who nominated me to eat a dick.

Maybe I'm just crankier than usual or just really craving my space more, but some people on messenger were annoying me so badly I deleted the app, so that it went back to just the standard thing where it doesn't pop up with the stupid chat head if you get a message, and you can ignore it as you please just as long as you don't click on the flag on your main screen. It was a great few days of peace......then I "had" to get it back, otherwise I couldn't get a hold of a girl I made dinner plans with (old coworker of mine, didn't have her phone number, she doesn't have it on her profile). So I hesitantly re downloaded the stupid app....

God I hate people being able to see me online and just assume I'm ready to chat. Half of the time, I'm looking at the feed while I'm taking a quick break at work or the few minutes before I take a shower or during a commercial break. I do not live on my phone and I certainly DO NOT live to babysit it and spend all day messaging people. Good God.

Ah the famous Facebook double standard. Where a bunch of drunk, college girls can post pictures of themselves with titties unfettered are allowed but a tasteful nude shot artistically from behind (and done in black and white) is not.

Been there, done that.

You're reminding me of on windows xp where I would log out of msn messneger and it would automatically log me into windows messenger and not tell me until someone starting bothering me.

Just a note; my email addresses are generally long and weird, and it doesn't reflect on my maturity. I've seen people with short email addresses that are pretty stupid too. I have to have a long hotmail address cuz I hate numbers on the end of my name.

Regarding Facebook, I get that it's got its problems, but get this; if your tasteful nude artwork is being taken down, it's cuz someone in your friends list (or an anon lurker if your page is public) is reporting it. Facebook generally doesn't trawl thru everyone's pages looking for stuff to take down. Perhaps your issue is with the people who have access to your page.

I would buy that were it not for the fact that I actually know the people who are on my friends list. As in I've actually met them face-to-face in the real world outside of the internet. Either that or they're my family.

This means that I've only 30 friends in my friends list and since my privacy settings are set the way that they are, only they can see what I post. And I know that they aren't the kind of folks who would complain about seeing a woman nude from behind.

Hell most of them wouldn't complain if she was standing and facing the camera with all to see.

So the suspicion is there and it's pointed at Facebook.

Also I've had problems with them with a sub-page I've created under my own. I'm trying to build a Teardrop Trailer for camping and I've caught shit from someone at Facebook because my introduction post was a parody of the Season One Babylon 5 intro. I've had to quote the laws that allow parody more times than I can count. And again I know it wouldn't have been reported from any of my friends as they're all B5 fans and they thought it was funny.
