So I have been on Facebook for almost 3 years now and know how everything works and all that blah blah blah, and I have my own set of rules for those who come onto my wall and try and turn my threads into their own side conversations with other people. My sister has a bad habit of doing this where I'll put up like a Youtube video or some photos of something, and I'm looking to get some comments from people about it wether good or bad; and low and behold her first comment is about the video and THEN........she ventures off into her own conversation with someone else that goes 10-11 posts long(and has NOTHING to do with me or my video). And I know this goes on on message boards all the time, but Facebook is a bit different and a lot more personal when it's YOUR wall that someone is trying to take over.
So as a result I have had to delete her posts on a few occasions to clean it up and so now she's very upset with me, so does anyone else have someone who does this and do you delete their posts??

Nope.......
But whenever i'm on somebody almost always want to chat with me.
So the dialogue box at the bottom right hand side,usually pops up about 10 after I log on.
Kind of annoying at times. Because I'm really trying to connect with some of my family who work/ live on the other side of the globe.

Maybe I should have exercise more control over the " friend request" bar located on the right side of my facebook homepage.
Initally I thought it was cool to have so many.
But I'm much older,and just tired now.
Just Sayin'.........
Not on FB either. Tried it briefly and things like this just annoyed me. I decided it just wasn't worth the aggravation. Anyone who wants to talk to me can email, text or call.

Most of the time, I only get "likes" on the videos I post. My issue is that ON MY WALL, I don't want a lot of cussing...invariably, one of my cousins is "f this" and "f that"... I told him to cut the language or I was deleting him. He can say what he wants without cussing.
Now, about the videos. Tell your sister to get over it. You post them for discussions about the VIDEO or RELATED topic. Be it the artist, his/her/their genre, compare to another similar artist...or the sentiment behind the song itself. Tangents can be kept to her wall or to PMs/chat. I don't delete, but I ask them to bring back to the topic at hand.
CM: you can turn the FB chat "Offline" it's really easy, use the wheel looks like a sprocket at the top right corner, right click and say "Offline"
I can't stand people hijacking my stuff on Facebook like your sister, OP. Just delete it and let your sister know she can take her conversations elsewhere. :-) Or you can block her. LOL
I know that trick from since I used to chat on ICQ.
But I cannot go offline because I have lots of family working and living in places like South Korea ,different parts of Indonesia , Australia and so forth.
Different time zones.The only time we could chat online is between 7 - 9 PM in the evening.
If I go offline,they won't contact me.
Does FB has a filter that allows only certain people to see when you are online?
The only time that type of behavior has bothered me was when I posted about getting a cell phone, and it turned into a war between my ex-fil and my best friends mom.
Not only did my ex and I get a phone call about it, other people joined in against the fil, he continued to insult and fight with people he doesn't even know, the ex and I ended up in a screaming match in the middle of my house about it, and I ultimately deleted and blocked his entire family to prevent further issues.
so by my standards, if people want to talk about something peacefully that's somehow off topic, I'm totally fine with it. at least its not 3 days of war and hell. lol

My sister decided to break off on MY wall and MY Youtube thread and chat back and forth with someone we both know mutually, but once it got to the point where it was just like two women gossiping and chatting while getting their hair done - that's when I went and DELETED all 11 posts of theirs!
She has since had a few 4 letter words for me and said that she won't be visiting my wall for awhile!
