I don't think you really grasped what I was saying. The moment you set visitor messages to friends only, they're no longer visitor messages but friend messages. That statement is fact, not opinion.
It is possible to ignore messages. That's also a fact, and not an opinion.
It is possible to report people for posting messages they shouldn't. Once again, fact.
It is possible to send private messages. Private messages are private. Things you want to keep private go in those. Fact.
I understand I may have had opinions mixed among my fact that I posted earlier, and they may have confused you. Well, I guess I posted only one opinion and that was that this seemed to be a non issue to me. Need I exaggerate the "to me" portion of that statement, which signifies that that was an opinion.
Have a good day.
Don't make this about definitions, I have a grasp on those, rather, address the points I were making.
Your arguments and the post you made fall in on themselves by not doing this, I'm afraid. You escape the actual topic by focusing only on what I said in the beginning of my reply about your arguments being based on opinion and the way you act.
Here:
Friends are as much visitors as none-friends or strangers to your page, they're visiting it after all, leaving a message as a visitor.
It isn't defined as friend or stranger messages, but visitor messages, all visit. If not opinion, here, then fallacy.
About it being public; not addressing the fact that the 'public' in 'public profile' is a modified meaning as a result of there actually being privacy settings existent, makes what you say more of an opinion than fact. I did mention it. You're disregarding fact.
Yes, it is possible to ignore messages, I can do this myself, I was good at it on Facebook. It's fact, but whether it is a fact or not isn't that relevant to the point I was making: I, for one, do check all my VMs. With which I mean I don't ignore them.
It's based on my way of thinking and how I act on it; I don't get too many VMs compared to many others, so for me it's easy to check them all, it's something I want, because often it is from friends or someone whom I've offered to help.
But I also have some people I'd rather avoid, the privacy settings are good for this, though I don't use them as I mentioned not getting too much of it.
Others, however, whom have a much more constant flow of messages, whom have more trouble with spammers or whatnot, but do not want to ignore any of their messages, but avoid some from certain members, do, I bet, appreciate the privacy settings. It isn't even always the amount but also type of messages you get.
So it isn't as much about how ignoring something being possible, and a fact, as it is about convenience.
It is possible to report messages, fact, yes I know that. However again you escape the point I was making; privacy settings makes sure to lessen those kinds of messages, having us avoid to report them to begin with. They're for people whom don't want their walls infested with these kinds of posts. It's for convenience they exist, we all also have our particular reasons for using the privacy settings.
PMs are private, yeah, got that. Not addressing the issue however. As it disregards, once again, the fact that privacy settings exist and are part of the 'public' in 'public profile'. More of an opinion still if you do not consider this, and/or fallacy.
Good day to you too!
Sorry for getting off topic.
Edit: look at you, talking about saving time.
