Qualifications for Automatic Deletion:

When I get bored,

I routinely delete people on Facebook based on their latest posts.

And because I am power hungry.

Anyway, I thought I should post some guidelines for clarity.

Oh, and enjoy my collection of eCards from my Pinterest to illustrate my feelings.

Instant Qualifications for Deletion:

1. Use of Ebonics or painfully incorrect grammar in status posts.

2. Sappy religious quotes that make me feel pressured.

3.Over enthusiasm for upcoming holidays.

4. Statuses about making babies- under the age of 25 yrs old.

5. Statuses about excitement for boring things happening in Angleton, Tx.

6. Multiple Bathroom Mirror Pictures (BMPs).
This also encompasses photos where the use of self-timer is apparent.

7. Self portraits with song lyric captions.

8. Song lyric statuses to express ones tormented soul.

9. Feelings of Indifference.

Unfortunately, like the Bill of Rights, there are a few Amendments as well, 

or, Rules that may protection one from a deletion, but never an unsubscribe. 

Like all amendments, there are loopholes.

Again, I reserve the right to over ride these amendments, depending on the severity of the infraction.

1. 10 year rule: If I have known you for 10+ years, you may be saved from deletion.

This rule only applies to persons who also qualify for rules 2 and 3, as well as those who may also suffer from *Bitter Bitch Syndrome. Again, a person may be saved by the 10yr rule, however, this heavily leans on the severity of the infraction as well. Occasionally, one may be too far gone to be saved by the 10 yr rule.

2. Daily Baylea rule: if I see you on a daily basis, I may be more inclined to refrain from immediate deletion, however, this is only valid as long as this rule applies.

Persons often move from rule 2 to rule 3 quickly, and thus may qualify for deletion quickly as well.

 

3. Close Association rule: this applies to people actively in the same networks as I am.

This basically means that even if I haven't known you for 10+ years, or see you on a daily basis, if we are still connected by a mutual network, such as softball, I may be more hesitant to delete, depending on the length of time between the last network involvement. As a general rule of thumb, If I am still involved in the association in which we met, I will generally not delete. 

So following the softball example, if I still play for the same team as I did upon adding you to facebook, I wont delete you to avoid *Bitter Bitch Syndrome. However, If I am no longer with this group, we no longer share the connection, and thus Deletion.

*Bitter Bitch Syndrome- In the event that some one does realize they have been deleted, often there is a certain bitterness that follows, this includes but is not limited to- Snubbing, multiple return-friend request, or messaging "Come on Baylea, really you deleted me?"- In many of these cases its difficult to explain or remember the cause of deletion or the rule that may have been violated, and thus a simple, "Sorry, I hate you." may suffice.

Oh, and my take on Google+
