Ay, I have a touch screen and I touched that like on facebook thing. FUCK! Everyone(friends and family) christian and parents board just saw it on my facebook profile. Gawd why is it even on the site??
I'm getting asked left, right and centre bout it. How am I going to show my face at kid's school ay. I really don't think the like button is a good idea. Can't we put it somewhere else, so that we can make a conscious choice? I am so screwed!
Gawd, my inbox is full. I can't believe this!
So, so sorry Kitty!!!
I totally agree with you - having the "Like" button there is just trouble waiting to happen!!! I questioned its relevance and desirability from day one!! I avoid that area of my screen like the plague!!!!!
As SDMR suggests, it must have been a "virus"!
Site mods must remove it. I go through a straining process of logging out of every single social network site I am on before logging in because of this, with the hope that even if I press by mistake it won't pop up on and page of mine. I do not own a naughty twitter or facebook account and don't want to either. Apologies Sofistikitty. Reading this has made my fear levels increase ten fold.
Ek is so so jammer vir jou!!
Dis vir my ook ongelooflik frustrerend. My touch screen se skerm haak partykeer en dan moet ek eers mooi kyk waar die pyltjie is voor ek iets druk.
Ek het geweet so iets gaan gebeur!
Ek sal daai petisie met liefde ondersteun. As jy regtig dit op fb wil share kan jy gaan soek vir daai knoppie. Ek dink ook dit hoort nie op die "home page" nie!!
Kitty, that is the worst!
It's part of the reason I have logged off this site on all devices (Also android). Yes that means i have to log in if i have a comment to make, or to check my mail.
But I am no longer logged in for general browsing of the site.
Admin didn't consider the adverse affects that button, placed where it is, could have on the users of the site.
You have my vote, remove it, Why is it not on the Australia site
Sorry to read about this whole debacle.
With the cat out of the bag...just ask (with eyebrows raised of course)...*What cat* as anyone`s finger can slip and yes you have browsed there/here, you are after all curious about life anyway, not so....do they not browse around on their pc`s ?? Show me one person who has not browsed a little naughty site at least at one time in their life...just to also know what it is about naughty sites that everyone is blustering about.
This slip-up, can be a so called *virus*(good one that) or what ever, but this slip up happened. Just continue being yourself, if they like you for you, they, who ever they might be, will accept you as you are.
I am myself not on Facebook due to its VERY large security risk. ANYONE can just peak into your life and people just willy nilly post about their life on there on a daily basis with out thinking about the risk it opens up.I find on being on these kind of sites way more risk free really. Yeah using an alias is way way better than using your real name. Although I do not mind giving my real name to someone when I consider you a *friend*
Cyber hugs...
The simple answer is to remove yourself from ANY social media site you belong to. There is a price to pay for social media and I'm not prepared to pay it. That price is information, YOURS. Facebook tracks you AFTER you have logged out and tracks what pages you click on. Same with , and all the rest. No such thing as free people as no doubt a lot of you have found out. Suckerberg bought for a billion dollars and you still mean to tell me it's going to be a free service ?. You use data charges to send AND receive the messages. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
I am curious as to why, 3+ days later, only one Mod has commented on this thread? With no response from Admin.
Do they perhaps think that the various members expressing their disappointment / disapproval does not warrant input?
Thats my feeling to that they agree or to scare to differ with admin. This would never happened overseas because there the members have a input.
Must rather held my opinion for my self because i threaded to be ban
To be honest, I don't really care either way, it makes no difference to me. The moderators have already had a discussion about the issue amongst themselves, I'm not sure what the final word was.
I can alert Admin if you like. I know they don't check forums as often as we do.
As has been previously mentioned the Mod's had a discussion with Admin regarding this. Admin provided an explanation and maintained their decision to implement this change.
Admin has already provided their point of view on the subject, in the forum post "F Like share - what is this"
http://www.swingingheaven.za.com/grxaxnVYp1kR00W2
I have asked Admin to please reply to this post.. Let's see what he has to say..
Thank you Griff, much appreciated for moving the buttons out of "harms way" ;)
Thanks Griff for your explanation and yes i think we in South Africa are only stupid.
Looking to the the website of the oversees site and as you said for years on, with no problems, but only 39 people like it out of a membership of 194,418.
Yes as they say in South Africa one death is one death to much.
Sorry Sofistikitty there must be many more people to have grievance with it before somebody would remove it.
Good to see the buttons have now been moved to an area where they are less likely to do "inadvertent" harm....
