Blood Calves?

Due to the proliferation of "fan pages" and individuals who take wandering animal class links (calves, bulls, llamas, etc.) and use a hacking tool to convert them to post themselves, we are asking all members of Sharing Foals and Calves who wish to post calves to use a link shortening service, such as http://bit.ly or http://tinyurl.com to shorten your calf links before posting them in the group.  


Actually, it's a good idea to do this when you post ANY calf, because they're being taken and converted by many people lately.

NOBODY Legitimately Acquires THIS many calves to share in this timeframe. Nobody.

Got Snaggers?

One of the questions I get asked most frequently is "How do you deal with people who use the snag bar?".

Are you being snagged?  If you don't like it, solve it!

Well....it depends, and it's purely subjective.  Some 'Insane Snag Bar Users' (people who really tend to overdo the whole snagging thing - we pretty much know who they are) are also nice people, and you may want to keep them on your list because they're entertaining or informative.  Of course, the easiest way to deal with anyone who you feel is abusing your game feed is to simply remove them from your friends' list.  Problem solved.

A more creative way to keep them on your Facebook Friends List (but to block them from game posts you feel they may be snagging) is through the use of Facebook Lists and Custom Security on individual posts.

In order to do this, you first need to create a list of people from whom you'd like to block your game posts.

The Crying Game: Zynga Caps Gamefeed Collections

I have to click now? With my hand? Noooooo!!!!!!

In a move which was fully expected, Zynga (via Lexi) announced on Wednesday that they're placing limits on the number of items which you can collect from the game feed for FarmVille every day.  While this won't actually impact most players, it does seem to have impacted the most vocal ones - the ones who claim to need to collect more than the newly-imposed limit of 125 items per 24 hour period.


Oh, the tears!  From posts on Zynga's forums to GU to the various Facebook pages which have sprung up in opposition to the 125 item limit, it's clear that many people assume that this limit is on everything, and from the tone of some of these things you'd think the world was coming to an end.  


A few of these mouth-breathers making the most noise about the limit are some of the same people who tend to get confused while going through the checkout line at the grocery store - I end up behind one or two of their ilk every time I go shopping, it seems.  Lexi could put up illustrations and nudie photos and a LOT of folks just aren't going to get it.
