Everyday I used to get freaking SPAM wall posts, and seriously deleting them one by one annoys me a lot! Though Facebook is a secure and most popular social network, still such spammers find loop holes to create applications and ruin our profiles. If you encounter such fake application, I advise you to report them.
Our profile is, indeed, indirectly hacked and automatically posts some strange objectionable content on your friends’ wall and they are tempted to click on them.
You will now learn how to prevent your Facebook friends to write on your Facebook wall.
Prevent Your Facebook Friend To Post On Your Wall
#1 – First go to Account | Privacy Settings.
#2 – Under Sharing on Facebook section, select customize settings.
#3 – Now under Things others share section, disable Friends can post on my Wall. You can preview your profile to see the changes.
Updated Settings
Go to Privacy Settings, under “How You Connect” choose “Only Me” for “Who can post on your Wall?”. As simple as that!
By this simple setting, you can save your time. We have lots of Facebook Tips here, to enjoy further tips you can subscribe us. 🙂
It would be nice to not see posts that are sharing things. A nice little switch would be nice. I am more interested in my friend the their shared photos and things.
hey ya!
FB has changed the manage privacy option it doesn't look the same as instructed above, I used to disable my wall and comments before but now I can only disable the wall but the comments field is still there. I wish to disable or hide temporarily the entire wall. Can someone help?
Go to Privacy Settings, and under "How You Connect", you have the option Bobby!
Thanks Man. Is there an option to disable the COMMENT box only? I use to post something in my wall but I don't want anybody to drop any comments. Thanks for your quick reply.
Ah, maybe I guess you will the option to disable comments for people who are not in your friends list.
thanks for this simple tip but what if someone what's to post like birthday wishes onto ur wall. then i think he/she will not be able to do so. is not it??
That is an exception Abhishek, enable it on that day! 😀
then I guess it is going to solve half of the problem, thanks Pradeep for sharing.
I haven't run into any issues with spam, but having the option to prevent others from posting on my wall is good to know. For me, since I don't get the spam, I do get those facebook game updates, which are annoying.
But generally it's not friends who spam you, and most people want friends to be able to post on their walls.
Ohh Wonderful. This will stop to get some unexpected wall post.
Thank you so much for sharing your tips on here. Simple one 🙂
This is the best, facebook could do to stop spamming into other accounts….
Nice tip, i have been bombarded with those wall posts myself, i used to just delete them, but now we can prevent them from coming… facebook sometimes becomes a lot annoying, every time someone adds me on an event or a groups i get an email notification, and i have selected to get no emails for them… really disturbing..
PS. i guess your comment luv plugin is not working.
Thanks mate. Something from this theme crashed it I guess, working on it. Will fix it soon. 🙂
Thats a good idea but it might annoy people when they need to communicate something to me through wall.
Thanks for this tip and will definitely reduce some spam post in the wall
nice info a lot of fb spam posting in our walls:(
nice and cool info.thanks.
But Pradeep, wouldn't this block all the wall posts to a profile?
No can post on your wall except you. 🙂
I think by doing this we're also preventing our real friends and readers to share something. Is there any way we can prevent particular person to post on our wall?? If it's possible then it would be great as not many people would be spammers.
hell with this spams and virus. i hate facebook now a days 🙁 this can solve half of my problems 😀
Simple but Effective tip. 🙂
But doing this will also prevent us from having the full fun of Facebook! Another better option is to mark unwanted posts as Spam and tell your friends to do the same.
Yes Anoop, you are write. I think we should create two profile one for professional friends and one for personal friends.
