Anyone here on Facebook? I joined about a month ago and since then my email addy has been spammed to death. Has anyone else had this or is it coincidence?

No, it's all the horse porn you signed up for.

Can you me PM the url. I love horsing about.

Do you mean the emails where it tells you somebody has written on your wall/tagged you/poked you etc? If so, you can turn them off.

Na, just more general spam. Obviously your email is available on the profile if you want, but I thought that was only visible to people you let see it. I was wondering if something more sinister was happening, i.e. facebook are passing details on. Was thinking with people putting religious, political, marital status details etc on it, that's a hell of database they're compiling. Must be worth a fortune for marketing. Just a thought.

Can't be the horse porn. I'm not into conventional sex

It amazes me how much detail people are prepared to put on there. Some have full addresses, phone numbers and goodness knows what else, never mind birthdays and religious stances. My email address is on there though - about the only thing that is - and I haven't had any more spam than usual.

What is wrong with letting your friends know your address? Mine is on there.

Had no spam problems myself.

[Elli]

Am of the opinion that I don't want it up on the web and if people want to know it they can ask. Just seems simpler. Nowt wrong with it necessarily, just not summat I'd do.

[Kaizer]

Not more spam for me either, apart from a lot of people I really have no interest in signing up to be my friends.

Fair dooes. Use it more as a friends re united for friends I lost touch with... an online address book if you like.

[PaulF]

I set up a gmail account specifically for my facebook, I figured it was a spammers dream, but there's been no spam on that account.


What is odd though is that my overdraft has shot up, do you think it could be because I posted my name, address, telephone number, postcode, mothers maiden name and bank details?


(Actually, wouldn't it be fairly easy to get all those details from famous people (except for their bank account number))

Ah well, that's that theory out the window.

No spam here, been a member since Feb.

I've had no problems, other than all the poke/written on wall etc stuff.  A mate has been spammed to shit since joining though, so sould be that.

[theCanadian]

It's insanely popular here in Canada. Don't particularily like sites like these myself, some people are obsessed with 'em.

[Something Else]

I just added onto it

I now have a face book page but i think it isn't as good as myspace.

PaulF talked me into having one

You won't believe how hard it is to persuade this woman to do ANYTHING!

No, it's all the horse porn you signed up for.

No spam here and the advantages have far outweighted the disadvantages. It's flirtation all around, and no, you can't see my profile 

[mulfella]

It might just be pot luck. If your email address is visible and in plain html, then its available to spider apps for indexing.

So if a spammer is indexing Facebook pages looking for email addresses then it is at risk.

you can't see people profiles without adding them as a friend, all you see is the picture, network and name before you add them.

and I get no spam

I don't mind putting all my details on there as I limit all the info to only be viewed by close friends.

*ding dong *

who's there?

Hi, I'm Mike, I saw your profile online. I think you're very cute *wink*

[Lo]

I have one of these accounts, what do you actually do with it though, I joined and that was it, I honestly cant see the point in it, its the same as my space is there a point to it

I use it for keeping in touch with people who I've lost touch with (for whatever reason) over the years. Think that is the limit to it's usefulness in my case.

[Tim]

I have a Facebook and a lot of us keep in contact with each other on a daily basis using it and it's good, as people have said, for finding friends who you've lost touch with for whatever reason. Way better than Myspace I reckon, the photo tagging is really good. Oh and I haven't had any spam from it either.

[lionel_messias]

You can see easily if any of your friends or contacts have good looking girly mates

and then poke them, without risk.

Someone's trying to boost their friend count! 

[AthaElvis]

Some one from India has set up a group called red and white kop.  We need an official RAWK Facebook group.  As I thought of the idea, I think that Juice Terry should sort it out.

So we can do what exactly?

[GinKop]

I don't know, maybe we could discuss things going on at LFC, have a transfer discussion board so people can talk about transfer rumours. We could even have an off-topic area and other boards to discuss music, technology etc. Maybe even a ticket exchange?

I think Atha is like me, just wants to go through peoples lists and look for fit birds

[mjgill85]

the photo tagging is really good

Yep, the best thing about facebook IMO

Mike Kett ignores me on Facebook.

I need some more friends so I can get more than this girl I know who thinks she is the shit.
