Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

If you block someone from a post, and a mutual friend replies to it, can the blocked person then see it?

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

yes I think so because I have had restricted people message me asking why they could not see my page. I was not rude enough to tell because you cant see a post of mine you disagree with and keep on going. I do not care for snarky replies to my posts.:giggle

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

What if you only restrict a person from a certain post?

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

I have never to my knowledge had someone on one of my lists I hide a post from ever see it, but they may have not responded. I do not have a way to test this though. I had one IRL friend who told me she was very offended at my non spanking posts so she got put on a list and so far she has not seen any I have posted since she got added to the list of people who cant respect my opinion on my facebook.

Let's test it. :think

We can totally do this, we are all 3 friends. I am going to post something and block Janice. Leslie will comment and we'll see if Janice can see.

Ok, I posted something to my GCM list and blocked Janice from seeing it. This is so that Janice will know for sure exactly what happens. :heart For the record, this is what the post says,

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Will you do another experiment where Janice isn't blocked, just put in a restricted list? I don't know if restricted lists work the same as blocking.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

It should work the same, but I see your concern. I'll put you on my Acquaintances list and block them from that post. Can you see the post now?

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Clarification: make a list that includes all your fb friends except Janice and call is "everyone but Janice" and post something set to that list only. Does that make sense?

We cross posted.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Heh heh, we were not yet friends. :doh So, approve me and take a look. You are on GCM as well as Acquaintances. And I'll look to see if any mutual friends have posted.

Is there an easy way to do that? :scratch How 'bout you make that list and exclude me? :think

OK Amy, can you see it? We don't have very many mutual friends, so that part will be tricky. :think

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

I approved you but can't see the post. I have 4, including you, gcms on fb right now, so no mutual friends may have posted yet.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

uh I dont see a post saying that at all.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Perfect! I just checked and you were on my Acquaintances list. I just removed you so look again.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

ok

what is this acquaintance list? I never paid attention to it.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

The Acquaintances list is one provided by FB and a way to show less to people. I don't know why you were on it. :shrug3 Probably a mistake.

I rarely use it. Maybe just when I think I might be oversharing, like giving my location. :think I don't want to give out too much info to everyone. :O I really should have everyone I don't know really well on it, but I'm too lazy. :O

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Interesting, ok I will have to look into that

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

I have a few people on Restricted list. I employ the "see page as" feature every once in a while to make sure they can't see my page or posts that I don't want them to see. They can't see anything I don't want them to see.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Janice never reported back to me. :scratch

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Sorry ladies, I totally forgot about this thread. I didn't see anything you guys posted, so it works. Yay! Thank you!

Now, I'm hoping since I couldn't see it, you all were nice to me.. :shifty

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

I have removed the block so you may now see it. :heart

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

"Acquaintances" and "Close Friends" are created and filled by Facebook. My "close friends" list currently shows 2 people because I don't interact consistently with many people. Close means you post on their wall, they post on yours, you comment on each other's stuff, etc. Everyone else goes into acquaintances.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

I beg to differ. While Facebook did, indeed, create the list, we fill it out. Close Friends is stalker mode. Everything that person posts creates a notification for me. I don't miss anything my sons or mother do. Acquaintances is also filled in by me and I believe (hope) that I see less of their stuff.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

i have to add people to all the lists. I added my sister to the aquaintance list over the weekend and was able to post from my phone with out her seeing it. I set it to "friends, except aquatainces" and she wasn't able to see my updates or the pictures. She still can't see them.

The ones which FB fills out for you are called, Smart Lists. More info:

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

I set them up initially. Facebook has changed what's there.

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

How odd. I have never heard of that. :scratch How disturbing. :(

Re: Facebook restricted list.. how does that work?
 

Yeah dont add anyone to close friends unless you want every little thing they do to show up in your notifications. I am only that close to my husband and thankfully he does not post much or I might even remove him as my only one in my close friends list.
