Facebook page - rant warning

I appreciate that there's very little Supercell can or would want to do about this, but I need to get it off my chest.

What is wrong with people?

OK I'll elaborate... Every post that Supercell make is followed by 1.2 million people writing "Add me!!" and about 4 people actually responding to the topic. I don't even bother opening the comments any more, because you can't find anything useful or interesting.

I just want to write "Why? Why should I add you? Do you really think I want to add a complete stranger with a sheep mentality and no real concept of "on-topic" as a friend on facebook, just so that I can get a thirtieth of a new RSS slot???"

Ah, that feels better. Thank you.

Add me.

(just jokes)

I've noticed that well.

Velcro, funny thing is I used to add those ppl that have the farm names as "Add me GC: (their name)". Now I have a farm with over 400 friends and 300 of the barely if ever play their game or help my farm. Only problem is I can't figure out a good system to rate my GC friends and wish someone had given me your good advice back then.

Kudos my friend for one of the best thread rants I've seen in a long time. My hat is off to you.

Another one I love is where you post no random friend requests above your GC name and some moron send you a friend request like you are going to approve them. Did their parents not teach them that No means NO!?

Oh I know what you mean. I keep getting friend requests to my old farm even though I took the GC name of it off my signature and told Game Center to not allow invites. I am slowly stopping play on it as it is on my old and very slow iPad. And when all you see on the Facebook acct. is the constant add me's you get the feeling those folks have no opinion about anything.

Lol - thank you, although I hope that's a typo... I didn't intend to directly threaten anyone ;)

LOL, thats why I dont go to the fb page that often.

And some of those "Add me" FB comments come with a screenshot of tons of EMs. I've been wondering if those ppl really sell those to their GC friends on regular basis...

Do you feel a lot better now you've got that off your chest hun.😜
I just wanted to say Hi to you , where have you been ? We've missed you, well I won't speak for everyone ( as I'm not allowed ) .... I've missed you. 😍

HA! so true on the above posts. Im a little incensed especially when the Monthly Accolades for the forum contributors are bombarded with such "Add Me's", but i guess we have no control of that. People do what they want to do. and speaking of Monthly Accolades, (veering a little off-topic here), anyone got a complete list of members who were given recognition? i think someone might have to do a complete list here on this forum someday so we can just watch with awe the awesome members of Supercell Hay Day, rather than see them members just get drowned with "Add Me's" on Facebook page.

thanks Velcro for this post, entertaining as usual haha

and by the way, guys, "add me" lol!! j/k

I've noticed the same thing, Velcro! It just seems so...desperate!

I'm sure a lot of those people who visit the FB page do not come here to the forums, so this may be the only way they have to add friends, as opposed to us getting to know each other via the forums. However, every so often, HD does post asking people if they would like more friends and, if so, they can respond to THAT post with their game info.

Before we got the diamond confirmation, posts asking/pushing for it were also included in those HD posts, along with the "add me" posts.

I've noticed the same thing and it bugs me too! Then if I go make a comment (I don't say add me lol, I reply to the topic at hand), I get a bunch of friend requests from folks in foreign countries. Then I feel bad declining because I'm sure they are nice folks but I don't know them and it is my personal Facebook account. But yes, I fully agree!

Oh, I agree. I congratulated you on your award, Tiggerr, because it was so well deserved, but I doubt you ever got a chance to see those congratulations because of all the "add me"s in that thread.

In that case, it was just rude - congratulations were in order.

Same thing happens on the Clash facebook page.
I always figure they're 12 year old kids who have no idea about internet safety and just want more friends like they want more friends on facebook.

Thanks for the catch. Spell check missed that one. Though, now I fell (spell check struck again.) threatened that my posts are being so closely scrutinized. lol. :rolleyes:

lol

Yes.
Each fb post has thousand's of add me comments on them. That is very irritating.
I don't get to read anything else other than 'Add me' or 'Add me please'

I think Hay Day should use their tool to delete these comments.

3-4 days ago, they posted a special post for 'Add me requests' on fb. Commenting 'Add me' there is no harm but it should be limited to that post only.

I don't think you can tell GC not to allow friend request if they know your GC id. What I see (in french) is that you can stop player who are near you to send you request via wifi or bluetooth.

You may want to turn off your "Public Profile". This prevent your GC from being recommended to others players and being seen by friends of friends. I know I can find your old farm through some common friends, and there is a "Send a friend request" button :cool:.
