Tagging is perhaps one of the most irritating and yet the best
features of Facebook at the same time. If used properly, it is a great
feature. But then how many of your friends know when to use tagging and
when not?
Someone should be tagged in a photo / post / link / video
etc. only if that person has some connection with that photo / post /
link or video. Sometime tagging could be done just to draw
attention –but if it is overdone –this would create nuisance for the
person who is being tagged all the time.
The worst aspect of tagging is that the tagged material begins to show on your wall.
If you have a few hundred or more friends –your wall, in all
likelihood, would be found flooded with tagged material only. Your own
updates, photos posted by you –all that will be nowhere to be seen.
Thankfully, now Facebook has a mechanism that can stop tagged material from being shown on your wall. This mechanism is called Profile Review.
If you switch on a particular privacy setting, all the tagged material
will go to a separate place and shall wait for your review. The material
will begin to appear on your wall only if you say yes to it.
How to Activate Facebook Profile Review
In order to activate reviewing of tagged material –go to your Privacy Settings
Then click on the “Edit settings” link given for “Profile and Tagging”
Profile and Tagging Settings
A box will appear. Set the “Review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your profile” option to On
Click Done
Now the tagged material will no longer appear on your Wall but wait for clearance from you.
