Topic: Facebook privacy settings help needed

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #15,523

I added someone today who I would like to be almost completely restricted (no status updates, photos, videos, friends posts on my timeline etc), but still be able to post on my wall and see those posts. Is this possible?

Your question confuses and enrages me.

Lol I do not really know this person except in a professional setting so I do not want her to be able to interact with my facebook like my friends would.

Are you saying you don't want her to see the things YOU post? Because you later go on to say that she should be able to post on your wall/timeline

Can you add him onto a list and then add restriction to that list...
I have people sorted in a bunch of lists like people I met in a certain city/skatepark, awesome friends, work related...
Each list has it's own restrictions... cba to see how detailed the settings are atm. but everything I needed could be done back then...

There is also a default list called "restricted" which means anybody on that list won't see any of your updates unless they are public.

I don't want her to be able to see:

@ My Status Updates, whether they are just updates, links, etc
@ Status updates in which I am tagged
@ What other people write on my wall
@ Any personal information except email address
@ Photos or Videos I upload
@ Photos or Videos in which I am tagged

I do want her to be able to have:

@ The ability to write on my wall
@ The ability to see posts she has written on my wall

I looked and the system is really really fucktarded. I'm not normally Kimmo about these things but it is really difficult to use.

She is currently on that but she also cannot write on my wall. I don't know how to change privacy settings for specific lists anymore.

> Note: People you restrict from posting to your Wall (timeline) will not be able to see other posts that friends share on your Wall (timeline).

That just brings me to the list of all my lists.
When I click the "pen" it offers: "Add to favorites" or "Always hide"

No idea how to reach the settings of a list... nor do I care since they are set up as I want them, so no worries...

And also, who gives a fuck for facebook, I have phone numbers/home addresses of people who matter, and Twitter is faaaar more usefull than facepoop for me anyway...

Click the name of the list, and then in the top right "manage list"

All that does is let you control which updates you receive from the people in that list.

Are you using a list you made yourself?

HAHAHA OH WOW.

What we are searching for is how to access the list settings not add/remove people from/onto the list.

You know, the part where you actually set what people on that list can and can not do.

That's not what you said here @271,079 (TheSheep !kJ.A4PF7.k) :(

Anyway
http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy
Click on How You Connect
And you can select custom lists for some features... not all though.

Edit list... I guess it could be interpreted as add/remove people on it, but if I wanted that I'd say manage tho.
Can't blame you for not having a mindreading crystal bulb.

Thanks and cheers!

EDIT:
It used to be different.
When you created a list you could set what people on it could do. Post on wall, tag pictures etc...
I hope these settings are still somewhere and still the same as I set them up (should be tho, since the people I set to not see me on chat, do not see me on the chat etc...)

Facebook's privacy settings still confuse me. They change them like every month and they never get simpler.
