Wait, so if you're friends with someone they can add you to a group without you doing anything?


I don't know... I can't seem to find a way to add people without just inviting them (granted, I only spent 3 minutes looking in response to this post... but that should typically be enough for a website designed for great unwashed).


Well it looks like you can add people without having them confirmed because I had someone adding me to a group without my permission.  Luckily it wasn't a bad group and it's one I would have joined if they sent me a normal invite, but I still don't like this feature.

I didn't really flip out over the location thing but this one I'm pretty upset about.  I have people on my friends list that are part of random groups I just don't give two shits about.  Unfortunately, these are the same people that would love to use this feature to add everyone on their friends list to whatever that group is.  It's easy enough to simply ignore the invite but I don't want to have to log in to manually remove myself from a group every time someone adds me to one without my permission.

Is there a way to turn this feature off like you can turn off locations?

1. If people would lock down their pages, then only their friends would see this spoof.

2. Once you remove yourself from the group that friend can't add you to any other groups, so meh.

3. The joke will get old and/or the jokester will get blocked.

4. FB should have a privacy option that allows you to not allow friends to add you to these groups.



yea wht he said



Facebook has gotten worse and worse.  I deleted it because it is pointless to me.  I had people I barely remembered from high school about 10 years back add me and not even send message.  I would vaguely remember their name or see they had friends that I actually remembered so I added them.  Facebook then kept making more and more privacy blunders so I got rid of it.  It wasn't like I was sharing anything I didn't want to share and my privacy settings were turned all to private.  I just saw no point in adding people I didn't communicate with.  If you want to talk to me call me (I block txt messaging).  Is it more important to have 500 semi "friends" or 2-3 good friends?  I choose the latter.
