FaceBook is not MikeysBoard

[Mike Pailliotet]

Even though there are the hidden groups where grown men behave like 15 year olds, people personal FB pages are NOT a place where you make crass or critical comments in regards to one's business or any postings for that matter.

I suppose it's my own fault for letting carpet cleaners on my personal pages.


I will be fixing that shortly.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

I've been fortunate that I've only had to block one cleaner from my personal FB page. It wasn't anything really terrible, but I think he thought we were friends and that he could post things that my some of my friends and family found offensive.

I warned him, but he just couldn't help himself I guess.

Perhaps this would be a good venue to discuss some common courtesies when it comes to what is posted, and where.

 

[PrimaDonna]

Some people just don't get it!

Thankfully, nothing like that has happened to me, Mike.

Not that someone couldn't post to my page, but I'm set up so that is someone tags me in a post, it won't go to my wall unless I approve the post. Then I can weed out things I don't want to show up there and have certain people see.

Great suggestion, I just made those changes.

I'll comment, since I provoked the thread: Seeing this nice picture on his FB page, I remarked that it looks like Mike broke wind in the van again.

I post and respond in the same way I speak in person; usually directly, sometimes obliquely (that means 'kinda sideways', Marty) avoiding profanity or serious insult unless called for and often, sadly, a bit inappropriately for the social setting. But knowing that, I am very discrete when speaking to customers.

So to me, the notion that Mike farts rainbows upwind is funny. Very funny. Very, very funny.

But I didn't stop to consider that he's working hard to build an image locally, so my sense of humor might not be what helps Carson Valley see Connoisseur in a good light.

For similar reasons I divorced my personal FB page from my business page, not wanting a stranger to mistake something I post (that they don't like) with the service they'd get from me. It boils down to a certainty that in their home, respect should be the guiding principle.

In cyberspace it can be easy to forget that.

 

[PrimaDonna]

It's happened to me in groups and on pages, but never on my personal page.

If it did I'd block the person. As far as people doing it on pages.....Their behavior speaks for themselves. If they want to go on the attack, so be it. How you respond or don't to them says it all. Keep it clean, stick to the facts and be polite even if they aren't. That can be very hard for certain personality types to do. If you can't keep yourself composed when people do this, then don't start responding. I've seen some crazy threads where two people disagree and it goes from a disagreement over a Pre spray or tool to personal attacks, name calling and threats. It's crazy to me....but I guess with two personalities like that it gets out of hand quickly.

Ya that's all great for a skittles commercial chase the rainbow!

Yeah sorry about that

It came stop people from posting fun or inappropriate comments on a post, but you can keep things you tagged in from showing up. I believe you can even keep someone from posting directly to your wall until you approve it (even if it's not a tagged post). Only way to keep them from commenting is to block them.

I also have my settings so that only people I'm friends with can see things on my wall/page. So no one should be able to see more than photos on my wall if they aren't friends with me.

You can go to the settings ans type in a persons name at it will show you why they would see if they looked at your page. There a few options so they can see all, some or very little beard on what you want them to have access too. You can also select your audience when you make a post and keep certain people from seeing it.

How do you do that?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I keep my instagram account generally for close local friends, and family pix. Not business, although one or two MB people are there.

I can only imagine the potential...

 

[Willy P]

I have the easy and ultimate cure.



Don't have a Facebook page. I don't and it has no effect on my life. If my REAL freinds want to get in touch, 778 773 4484.

 

[Russ T.]

I think you can keep everyone from posting on your wall in privacy settings.

When someone is commenting on a post that you made, I think it might be different.

I try to remember that anyone could be watching, even here.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Yeah sorry about that

LOL....not even close buddy. The person in question is nice but extraordinarily socially inept, even in person.

LOL! That is funny except I understand not wanting it on a business page. My personal page use to be just a place I kept track of my kids but now they text me mostly...or call. The more friend requests you accept the more strange FB becomes. People post very self destructive things there and very personal as well. Mostly hate FB. That would have been a pretty good thread here on MB but people I know have been rafted for less

 

[Jack Zipper Zerkie]

Sorry don't know how to do face book . I like real face to face talk just to old for the other; just turned 75 the other day and next week 36 yrs at carpet cleaning , life is GREAT. jz.

 

[PrimaDonna]

How do you do that?

Do it in settings. Not sure if you can do from a phone or mobile app, but you can if logged in on your computer.

I'll post some screen shots tomorrow when I'm at computer. Posting from my phone now.

I'd feel bad making a 75yo clean my carpets...


Shidddd, Bawb Vawter isn't even that old and he uses the wand as a tripod to stand up...

What would have been a good thread?

 

[Bob Pruitt]

What would have been a good thread?

How to take promotional photos... and then board posting pictures of their brand building images.............
Then we could all make jokes and make suggestions.... or not.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

A customer saw mine, Photoshopped the phone lines out and sent it to me. I was able to replace it in my thread without messing up the likes

 

[dealtimeman]

So you like the facebooky

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Lots of things that can be done using photoshop.
