I've only just joined and only have a couple of contacts so still getting used to it.
But I am spooked by a long list of dozens and dozens of "people you may know". I don't like it. I've never heard of any of them. Most of them have 'middle eastern' names (sorry) and I don't know how to stop them. If I delete them all I'm inundated with loads more within seconds. I feel like closing FB down because of it.

I ignore them all. Very occasionally I do see a face I recognise and click on it just to be nosy, but don’t send a friend request. I do wonder how often I pop up on someone else’s screen. Not that I’m bothered. My settings are for Friends Only and I never do the ‘competitions’ to see what my IQ is or what my colour is as they inevitably imply on the screen before the quiz that my details will be shared.

I’m also getting fed up with the companies which say if you like and share you may win whatever it is they sell. Very tempting but it’s just a cheap way of advertising.
