Agreed. Not all of the settings are easy to figure out. I can't seem to get rid of unwanted pictures and vids I've been tagged in from my profile.
Auntie tags you in a baby bathtime picture? = the world gets to see it forever. |

Who cares if you're drinking, especially in Korea. As long as you're not doing outrageous things in the pic.

Again- this mentality of Who cares?
I don't know, maybe my family, my church members, students, and children I know?
It's one thing to engage in those behaviors- we're all adults. It's another thing to throw a pic of one doing a kegstand or clearing a 6 foot bong for said people to see.
There are limits. I didn't join facebook to share those kinds of pictures. E-mail is perfectly fine for them to share amongst friends.
The same goes for profanity-laced/sexual posts on facebook. I really wish they had a "PG" system or some sort of profanity filter. This is why I really distrust single young people. They have this striking inability to see beyond the single, young perspective. |

| Sounds more like you're leading two separate lives. I think that's more of an issue than the pics going up themselves. |

| Yeah I just put my fb settings in Korean to check it out. Actually the "interested in" is fairly literal. Just for fun I put my "relationship status" as "in a domestic partnership" a few weeks back...well in Korean it says "co-habitation"! I wonder what my Korean friends think when they see that lol. They probably don't wanna make any gay-references so there's not the connation we have with 'DM'... |

Which I enjoy. I enjoy being around church people and drunkards and families and my parents and people I went to High School with and people I know through a professional setting. But I don't always mix them and, unfortunately, some of those people have mixing with each other.
Besides, there are still limits. Kids don't need to see pictures of you doing kegstands.
Facebook is supposed to be for everyone that you know to interact with you, not just a certain segment. Unfortunately some people can't get that through their heads. It's especially sad seeing 29 year olds not get it. Grow up.
Again, there should be a "PG" setting or something so people look at your page and know that that stuff isn't cool. |

Remove your wall, would be the answer. I'm considering it. That way people have to pm you to get in touch.
Thus reducing the whole thing to a glorified email system. |

True story, make it more difficult for the creeps to peep, and soundly you will sleep. |

Slightly OT - I did a short ad campaign for my band here in Korea. My only restriction was that people needed to be >18 and live in Korea. We had good response but I started to get worried that it was not from anyone who would give a damn about our type of music. We even had MP3 samples to people could listen to us. MANY of the names of people who "friended" the band were like "Candyfe nc7592qerx" or "982q3yr27fn" and seemed to be kids, whores or whatever. The majority also hid most everything about themselves so I really could not tell where I went wrong. When I post events for the band, not one of them RSVPs.
I wonder if FB sets up fake accounts to respond to their money making ad campaigns to keep the ads going? I know, sounds weird. |

No, usually scammers who join groups and friend people to try and look more legitimate/increase the amount of others they can spam/scam.
Facebook does nothing about these accounts even though they have forms to report them. |

This is actually a good idea. Have certain people only be able to view the R rated pictures lol |

Totally possible with friend groups. You can create whatever groups you want and give them access to what you want. You can allow them access to only certain photo albums, or only certain profile information. Unfortunately you can't give them access to different walls or anything. When posting you could make a post though only visible to certain groups. |

Another angle to this is how some of the things our Korean friends post on our walls may also be misconstrued.
For example, I am back in the states now and just posted some pictures from my brother's wedding. Under one pic of me dressed in a suit one of my former male co-teachers wrote, "Wow! you look so good^^ bu I really miss you now".
My wife cracked on me pretty good for that one. |

| Facebook and Cyworld are becoming less and less popular in Korea. Twitter is the #1 social website for now. |
