Safe gaurds when filling out Facebook registration

Found ItSome time ago there was a discussion regarding facebook and keeping your identity concealed. Someone here posted his recommendations like don't use your real name, don't post any pictures that could identify you, A bunch of stuff that I wanted to reread because some members of my family only post pictures to Facebook and won't or don't know how to bundle them and send them in an email. Sometimes things happen and we hear about it through our kids.

There are some people who if I had a Facebook page would be asking me to friend them and I do not want to start a family feud over refusing to friend them. Yes there is one branch of my family that feel I ignore them and when I mentioned that the phone rings on both ends, and for several years I heard from other family members the trash talk about me and mine that came from that branch of the family.

So for than and a variety of other reason, I'd like to register with Facebook but anonymously. If the poster sees this will you contact me and tell me when you posted the information or send we a PM with the information.

TIA

Here is the url for the post I was looking for. Facebook security tips
  • The best safe guard is to forget Facebook and other such social media. Never register to begin with.

    I don't even like it when our distant family members who are registered post anything about me or my family.

    Of course anyone using a computer puts their ID and personal information at risk by hackers, but why make it easier for the average user to ferret it out?

    Did the same for my wife so she could visit a few pages but not deal with "friending".

  • I opened up an FB page several years ago and then decided the security sucked. Closed it down.
  • I registered with FB with a pseudonym. Only a few people (my kids mainly) know that that person on FB is really me.

    Works for me. But, in practice, I post very seldom. Mostly I go to some RV pages on FB.
  • So, are you not David E Bishop from Eagle Rock CA who drives a 2002 Winni Adventurer? And you're worried about people finding out about you on Facebook? You don't think the world can see your info on this forum?
