Velociraptor Jun 2013 10:24pm, 30 Jun 2013 25,941 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor My Facebook news feed being cluttered with things that people have Liked and Shared in the hope of getting free stuff. Especially when those things are alternative health industry shite, chavvy holiday destinations, and Nordic walking. C'mon. I can't block all of you. I've only just had a purge of all the dimwits who spammed my news feed with twee motivational messages. I'll have nobody left to stalk.

Duchess Jun 2013 10:57pm, 30 Jun 2013 3,391 posts	Quote Pin Duchess V'rap, if you find such an offending item in your newsfeed you can go some way to hiding it. You need to be on a pc for this: Top right of the item, you should see a downward pointing arrow \/ Click on that, then on "hide" Hover over "change what updates you get from xyz" Untick "comments and likes" (or anything else that irritates you) It won't solve everything but it'll stop anything of that type from that specific friend being shown in your feed.

Wine Legs Jul 2013 11:31pm, 1 Jul 2013 3,342 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs On the topic if Facebook, there used to be ONE setting where you set that you didn't want to see your friends' new friends. For some cocking bollocking annoying reason this setting no longer seems to work carte blanche like a happy smothering Facebook friends blanket & you have to deal with each & every Facebook friend that makes new friends on a one-by-one basis. Now THAT'S annoying.
