No, I don't want to help fertilize your bloody crops!

Or pick up your poker chips, share your vampiric booty or help you fight your Mafia battles.

I could also care less how many points your latest word scored, how many balls you bounced or how long your snake is (oo-er missus).

Now don't get me wrong, Facebook is a useful tool for keeping in touch with distant friends and relatives - people I love and cherish.

But they are also people who enjoy playing these pigging Facebook games and insist on telling me all about their high scores and trying (inadvertently, I know) to suck me in as well.

Please - can anyone tell me how - if indeed it is possible - to filter out and never again see any messages relating to these sodding Facebook 'games'?

Or do I just need to change my friends?

you can block

the game scores just click on the right and it will give you the option of hiding them

Thanks Simon

Just to clarify - will that just block the game scores, or everything that friend posts?

it gives you the option

you can either block updates from the person or the application/game

So it does

Thanks again Simon - you've made my day (in a small, but still meaningful way)

"be-friended" out misplaced niceness a vague acquaintance and they bombarded me (and everyone else they know) with this guff!

Ignore

Cherish the "ignore" button under notifications and updates.

It is your friend.

I have never played one of those tedious games, ever. And I don't intend to. The Ignore setting was put there for a reason, people.
