facebook tagging

[ems27]

is there anyway I can stop people tagging me in photos

[looobylooo]

what does tagging mean ems? how does it work?

[Justincider]

No you can't. I tried it and was told no

[Justincider]

Tagging is when someone has you in a photo that they publish and name you

[lardhelmet]

You'll have to stop having your photo taken with people who tag ems! I've asked my daughter not to tag me in any future mugshots - she couldn't understand why but has agreed. Sign of (my) age I guess

oh i seeee,
hmm, i dont think id like to be tagged either then ..

can you just not have a quiet word and ask the person to 'untag' you?

thanks for explaining

[hc4361]

Can't you click 'remove tag' alongside the photo on your wall?

[Justincider]

think only the person who put it up can remove tag

[hc4361]

I have just removed a tag that somebody else put on FB. Did it on my wall by hovering next to the photo.

4. Avoid the Infamous Photo/Video Tag Mistake


This is the classic Facebook problem. You let loose for a few hours one night (or day) and photos (or videos) of the moment are suddenly posted for all to view, not just your close friends who shared the moment with you. The result can be devastating. Some have been fired from work after incriminating photos/videos were posted for the boss to see. For others, randomly tagged photos/videos have ended relationships.

At the least, a tagged photo/video can result in personal embarrassment. So how do you prevent the infamous tagged photo or video from showing up in all of your friends news feeds? It’s pretty simple. First visit your profile privacy page and modify the setting next to “Photos Tagged of You”. Select the option which says “Customize…” and a box like the one pictured below will pop up.

Select the option “Only Me” and then “None of My Networks” if you would like to keep all tagged photos private. If you’d like to make tagged photos visible to certain users you can choose to add them in the box under the “Some Friends” option. In the box that displays after you select “Some Friends” you can type either individual friends or friend lists.

You definitely can remove the tag, even if someone else has posted the pic and tagged you. I've successfully removed tags :) (Thank god it works)
