I discussed in another post Facebook Tagging Etiquette and decided to put together a screencast as a followup for those wanting to prevent others from tagging them.
The awesome thing is that you can customize who can and cannot tag you, so if you have that one or two tag-a-holic friend, then perhaps this screencast will help you. Hopefully this will eliminate those annoying posts you really do not want to see in your stream from a friend who did not get the message first that you did not want to be included in their tagging party.
A really handy video, thanks for sharing Nile (I’d missed your previous post). I often get tagged in lovely photos of half naked women (!) and cute animals and I’d rather not be tagged in them. Tagging has become the new spam.
Great share Nile , I really hate people tagging me in Facebook for their post photo , now this will solve my problem.
Thanks for sharing
I agree Niles, this is very helpful. In fact I opened my FB account and made my changes while I was watching. Thanks!
It is a very nice post and blog.Thanks for sharing it.
Getting spammed on Facebook with tags to photos that I am not is not fun. Then you get 10 emails when people comment on the photo that you are not in. Seems like the custom list is the way to go as there are some people that legitimately do tag photos of me.
awesome blog and a post.Thanks for sharing it.
I have seen relationships destroyed for a picture in facebook with the wrong tag. Thanks for showing us how to save ourselves from something like that!
Thank you Nile,
….useful info!
it is very annoying to be tagged by people you do not know or like or on photos you do not want to be tagged or seen.
I did not know we could do this on FB.
Thanks!
Yes when someone tagged us in a post which is not related to us anymore then it’s too annoying. I have changed the settings in my account settings.
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully, after implementing this, I won’t have to see my other attention seeking friends.
Yes, I think what you really effective sharing.I did that and now I have resolved part of the problem! thanks
NIle, I really appreciate this informative post explaining how to adjust our Facebook tagging options. It can certainly be a problem at times when people want to spam or tag you in some non relevant picture.
Many thanks!
Lynn
Yes if people used to tag you into non relevant posts. We should use these settings.
Thanks, lady.
You solved a big, big problem. I was so desperate about being tagged in so many inappropriate photos that I couldn’t even think I might get rid of it so easily. But since I’m an almost regular visitor of a “sassy” blogger’s blog, so everything’s fine now! 😉
Keep smiling!
This is something a lot of people (me included) are very happy to learn!
As cool as FB is their customer support system is just not very good and you don’t seem to ever really be in control of your profile.
Like when they changed everything to ‘Timeline’.
Thank you Nile, useful info!

I did not even know you could do this. Thanks for the information you have shared! Very enlightening.
Hi Nile, Thanks for sharing how to do this. I did have a few friends who were tagging me in pictures for selling their products and I did not like this. I will bookmark this for future reference.
Yep,that will help a lot.Nice video Nile,hope this really worksiTo favourite list! 🙂
This drives me crazy! I get so many people tagging me when I don’t know them and the I find I’m tagged to a random photo. I looked for a way to stop this but couldn’t work this out. However, after reading this post I now know what to do to save my sanity. Thanks!
I can’t quite keep up with all these social networking sites and I have struggled to stop myself from being tagged in pictures, there’s nothing more annoying then being tagged in a picture that is of someone who is trying to promote their business or inviting you to an event! Great post, really straight forward too! Thank you for sharing.
That’s a nice option Nile, thanks for sharing the video tutorial with us.
Hi Nile,
As always, Great information here. You solved a big, big problem. I was so desperate about being tagged in so many inappropriate photos that I couldn’t even think I might get rid of it so easily. Awesome, now that I know. Thank you so much. Really appreciated. Warmest Regards.
Thank you Nile for this useful tip. Actually it is the first time i know that you an prevent someone from tagging you. I thought that you are feree to keep the post on your timeline or no, however now it is pretty nice to control this feature as well, so thanks for the advice 🙂
Hi Nile this post really helps a lot to protect us from spammers, and thanks for updating it as a video, successfully I fixed it.
Thanks for this! I feel like I get lost when I log-in to Facebook because the format is constantly changing. Video explanations always make things super clear.
Great video! It does bother me sometimes when people tag me without my permission. This video can help a lot. Thank you for posting this Nile. This was very informative.
I have a friend that quite calmly tells people he will punch them in the face if they ever facebook tag him, I have no clue why he is so enraged by this practice, but regardless I think he will really like this video and I am sending it to him. lol.
Hello,
Very nice information. I was really annoyed that people who don’t know me also tag me unnecessarily. This is good information by you. Will try your option.
Thanks

Hi Nile,
I’ve always found it ridiculously annoying when people automatically tagged me for stuff I have nothing to do with or am just not even close to being interested in. This will sure help!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Oh btw, Michael is right. The volume of your voice in the video was slightly low, maybe good to increase it the next time?
All the best,
