Believe it or not a lot of people that aren't computer/Facebook savvy know how to do that. Setting your Facebook settings isn't exactly 2+2.

 

The kids in high school man, you realize that high schools have typing, computer classes etc. He'd have to live in a cave without communications to not be able to figure out his Facebook settings. He and any other student athlete that allows strangers to post on their wall has done so by choice.

I disagree. I know plenty of people who can't set up their Facebook settings including a bunch of high schoolers who would be better served if their walls and pictures couldn't be seen. Some don't care enough to change them.

 

It's probably best for them to leave it to where everyone can see it so the crazies can be properly identified. Like I said about Lamar....he had to delete his page to escape the crazies. The attention is flattering until you don't pick the crazie's school. Then it really gets ugly. As Pike will soon find out.

Well then that's pretty darn pathetic. Especially seeing as how those are the questions that a person is asked when setting up a facebook account. So I guess you're saying you think that if this is really bothering a student athlete that he/she can't figure it out on their own or ask someone they know how to change their settings. Come on now that's a crock, it's not changed because they could care less. Lastly the bold is exactly my point.

I thought your point was that they want attention. I don't think ALL student athletes that leave their walls open for everyone to read do it for the attention. I think they just don't care if anyone reads it. If they cared that much they would change it. My son's wall is open for everyone to read because he doesn't care if you read it. I guess if he ever does care he'll fix it but I know he wouldn't leave it open for the attention. That is my point.

FYI, just to see how complex of a process this really is I pulled up my facebook account. Once logged in it literally takes about 4 clicks to change the settings. The first click is in the top right under account. The second click is on privacy settings. The third click is to select the privacy setting that you want to have. Lastly the 4th click is to save those settings. I haven't changed my settings in a few years but still was able to figure out how to do it in less than 2 minutes. Perhaps I am just a facebook guru but I tend to think it's more likely that it's just not that complicated.

I don't think it is complicated to use they're, there and their properly but a large percentage of people tend to mess that up as well.

I agree with you! I can't see how too many HS kids do not know how to do this, so to say they don't know is just an excuse by others. It's simple! The person wants their page to remain open, it's HIS/HER decision, NOT OURS! You can also keep your page open for anyone to see and have a different setting for those who can post on your wall. Let the person enjoy THEIR moment.

 

I don't care who it is, someone in HS, college or older, they can do what they want on their page, and they can let anyone they want see and our post on it, and I do not see a problem with anyone who posts on a recruits wall, a HS kid, college kid or older, it's no big deal to me. If the page is open for anyone to post, to me it's similar to someone going to an All Star game with a sign suggesting the player go to a certain college.

Thank you, you ARE out there lol. I was hoping I wasn't the only one that recognized it as something that was allowed and not something that should be prevented. SURE it's pathetic if adults do it, but it's only bc the student athlete allows it.

Perhaps you should spend more time on not letting our students athlete's look like idiots then instead of being upset because people choose to say not nice things on their facebook lol....

What are you talking about? I never said I was upset about anyone's Facebook. I thought that was your stance. Remember? Attention getters, etc, etc. All I did was try to say that not ALL student athletes are after the attention. They simply don't care that much about their Facebook page. Is that such a far fetched thought? If so then so be it. I know a bunch of kids and student athletes that simply don't care who looks at their wall and who writes on their wall. Maybe you should spend less time giving these student athletes you call idiots the attention they crave and stop stalking their walls.:lol:
