I just block them now .. I don't want to vote for every child in the universe, I also do not want to like every wahm's pics so I can go in a draw to win something I don't want.

I pick and chose who I ask to vote or like certain things .. my friends come from all walks off life, some have kids, others have none, others want them etc etc so sending links to everyone would make me look like an idiot.]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 19:47:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38710&PID=1301994&title=spamming-facebook-with-competitions#1301994 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38710&PID=1301983&title=spamming-facebook-with-competitions#1301983 Author: Hopes

Just a wee heads up...

Im not sure if you even think about it, but spamming your entire freinds list with "vote for me" and tags for baby gear competitions is very annoying....And sometimes hurtful too.
I do love all my FB friends and know them all too, but soemtimes some just push it a bit far...

A good friend of mine today had her wall posted on and then the spam "liked" by a serial offender...which I guess is par for the facebook course, however it was a link to win baby stuff etc, and said friend has fertility issues and they are well known issues, so a little heartless..or if not heartless, then thoughtless...

Please guys, before you post on peoples walls have a wee think....does this person have children? Would they be interested in voting for this or that etc? They have school age children would they really be interested in that?
If you think hmmm maybe not it pays to err on the side of caution.

Facebook is an awesome medium for sharing all your little ups and downs, photos etc, but sometimes....]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 18:13:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38710&PID=1301908&title=spamming-facebook-with-competitions#1301908
