You talking about porn?
Facebook, bleh!

One day last week there was porn on the little screen at the top of this page. I was stunned! Very graphic. I started to contact admin but realized they don't have any control over it. I clicked out and when I came back it was gone.

Sounds like you need to adjust your security settings.

They are pretty tight right now. Doesn't everyone get the same ad at the top? If not, I need to check my filters....

One of my facebook friends had this happen last week

Pam B 11-16-2010 02:11 PM

A co-worker was just talking about the very same thing at lunch today! Some people just have way too much free time. And, I think they really get their 'fun' by seeing how much they can disgust people.

ruth c 11-16-2010 02:54 PM

I'm on facebook but haven't had that happened.

pookie ookie 11-16-2010 03:03 PM

Ah, it's almost like the olden days of the internet. Remember when big boards like this would get slammed by new users posting tons of Asian pooh porn or something equally queasy? That's one part of the past which easily escapes nostalgia.

Be grateful fb'ers are boobing you. In comparison, I mean. :0)

newquilter10 11-16-2010 05:25 PM

So far nothing like that for me either.

No add at the top of page either.

Yet another reason I don't use those sites.

sueisallaboutquilts 11-16-2010 05:46 PM

I don't spend much time on Facebook. I like to keep up with friends but not too much. I'd rather be here :D

sandy12010 11-16-2010 05:53 PM

I got a couple pictures like that too on facebook Not sure why either but I block them if can be blocked

BRenea 11-16-2010 06:28 PM

I joined facebook after my 20th high school reunion in order to keep in touch with some of my classmates. Haven't seen anything like that on it, thank goodness. For some reason facebook just annoys me more and more, though. I'd rather spend my time here.

NO! If they do I don't understand why politicians from my area were campaigning all over the country.

I *think* they are actually generated by google.

I'm on Facebook, and have not had any of these problems. I don't have a lot of people on Facebook, I joined it mainly to get pictures of my grandchildren who live far away, and of my nephews kids who also live far away. My kids would just email, but we basically use it for family. And a few old friends. So not a waste of time to me. I put my quilts on there and as I finished them, my old friends want to see them. So I post them.

I do think that all the kids who have 726 friends on there, it is a waste of time. No one can keep track of all that.

SuziC 11-16-2010 07:05 PM

No not on facebook. I don't have the time between watching the grangkids and trying to quilt and then there's this board. Nope no time.

Connie in CO 11-16-2010 10:23 PM

Yes,went and changed everything

Connie in CO 11-16-2010 10:24 PM

Thats you.

twistedsheets 11-16-2010 10:42 PM

Don't really get that stuff in facebook but my e-mail sure gets a bunch of hits with SENT HOT PICS OF MY NAKED BOD> from both male and female. I delete them like I delete all the junk that is sent. Secondly I sure don't want to find out it could also be possibly child porn, heard that is going around, also!!

I was getting all kinds of junk mail, this stuff included. Just deleteing doesn't get trid of them, so I spent some time "unsubscribing" all that. I have no idea where hey get the addresses from, but if you unsubscribe, that should help. I don't want to look at that stuff, and I am the only one on this computer so I know I didn't search for any of that junk.

squeakie 11-17-2010 08:52 AM

No, we don't all get the same ads. They use the information on the page and any accessible information on your computer to "personalize" the ads to you. Most sites do that now.

auntmag 11-17-2010 10:31 AM

I agree.
