All of us have heard people complaining about a flood of Facebook notifications from unwanted tags. As hard as I have tried, I failed to find a way to prevent people from tagging me without my approval; in photos, messages, notes and wall posts. It appears Facebook does not give its users the ability to set their privacy settings in this manner (perhaps intentionally).
The situation is even worse with Facebook messages. Recently, I received a message in my inbox that was sent to a number of people. Soon the conversation digressed and a debacle of senseless messages followed. While some participants enjoyed, other recipients were getting their inboxes flooded. As it happens the only way to continue a conversation over Facebook messages is to reply to all recipients. If a recipient gets tired, there is no way for them to ‘untag’ themselves from the thread. These poor people have to live with this nuance for the rest of their Facebook lives.
So, I present this question to the readers. Why is it that Facebook ties you to a message for ever that you did not choose to receive in the first place, without providing you a way to prevent people from sending you such messages?

I read somewhere on this website that all the notifications you get from applications like farmville and yoville will soon be sent straight to your inbox! so you can say bye bye to the thought of not having an over-flowing inbox ^__^
