2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Hi My ex is no longer friends on my FB but I can still type in her name, find her and see her account (but not all of it) and comments she has made on her mates walls. Is there anyway I can set it up so I can't find them in a search, I do not think there is because you would need to have FB set up their search engine so you could not find them in a query but ever now and then I keep looking and want to stop it. I am trying to block everything out completely as you can understand. 2011
makelemonade1974 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Go to privacy settings and click on "edit block list." Or you can go to their page and on the left (I think) at the bottom is a "block this person" option. Block is great - it's like you don't even exist to them on facebook.
Layzie89 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I've read on here of people 'blocking' their ex's and what it does is it makes it so that your ex cannot see anything on facebook about you. You won't show up in the search, any posts on friends walls won't be visible to your ex and such. Now, I don't know if it goes both way however...like if you block her, will it make it so that way you can't see her stuff either? That, I'm not sure about. Before I knew anything about this blocking business on facebook I went ahead and deactivated mine completely. It's the only way that would have worked for me. It actually feels good to not have a fb anymore...it isn't as bad because the real friends you have still manage to maintain contact through other means and that's all that really matters. FB is equivalent to kryptonite for a coping dumpee.
Author 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Do they know they have blocked you like they will get a notification they have been blocked and if they search for you will they find you if you have blocked them? THis is me really trying to move on. I ma also looking at how to do that on a certain dating site lol, I think there is a way to do it. 2011
makelemonade1974 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 They don't get a notification and you won't be able to see their stuff either. It's a really great tool. I've blocked some mutual friends as well because I don't want him hearing things about me from others.
BelieveInUs Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I do not know the all the intricacy of Facebook. However, you cannot block a search because the database has to be access by the search algorithm. I would recommend that you do not search for your ex-girlfriend account. There is an audit trail at Facebook data warehouse. Please, you do not want law enforcement to subpoena the database evidences. Just do not query your ex girlfriend name. You do not want to spend time fighting United States law enforcement communities. Take care. Sincerely, BelieveInUs One of the Man

Done this and it worked, she had two accounts, one was redundant by the looks of it. I can't find them now but do not like that I can just unblock them again. 2011
makelemonade1974 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Trolls are such complete losers that need to get a life.
Author 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 She is also on my chat account but I wont delete her from it because she'll know and get a kick out of it if I do. Simple really I do not even go on it that much anymore and if I do and she is there then I just ignore it, like I done a few weeks ago while chatting to another girl. Dang I can't do it on the dating site tho so I still see her staring at me lol! Thnx for all the help you guys! 2011
depplover_1980 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 2011, you can keep teaching yourself willpower. Once you accomplish some, it is the best feeling in the world and you'll just grow from there. People conquer and achieve allsorts with it, so you can definately do it too - with your main motivation being you'll be a lot happier.
Username37 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Blocking an ex is the smartest move you can do on FB They don't exist. They could post on a mutual friend's status and it won't even show. Although, my problem is, my ex and I share mutual friends and I stumble across some pictures of her. Not really a big problem, but a problem. Good luck to you and stay strong
