I did a search, but couldn't find-

I closed my personal FB account about a year ago and opened one for sweeping. (used my 1st and middle name, which I see now is against the TOS, just want to follow the rules:) I would like to close my sweeps acct and reopen my personal account.

I have read that you can have groups where I would put my "sweeping" friends, but can I keep my posts and likes seperate? My biggest thing is I don't want to bombard my "actual" friends and family with likes and shares of sweeps.

Can someone share with me the easiest way to do this? Thank you
 
It's always best to go to the source {FB} but we do have stickied FB threads in the Tech/Computer Help forum

OR, See this thread for help

I hope someone knows the answer to this: I enter a lot of FB sweeps that require me to "like" the sponsor, usually a corporation, and it is often embarrassing when my new "likes" are splashed down all my friends' newsfeeds. I cannot find a link anywhere on FB Help as to how to block this. I guess they assume if you "like" something you want your friends to know. I know how to hide the likes and the corporate posts from appearing on my own Wall, but I just can't seem to get them off the newsfeed that my friends and family see. Since my daughter and I are often online at the same time in the same room, and she's on FB, I know my "likes" show up instantly in my friends' newsfeed, often before I have even finished entering the sweeps! :scratch:

Can anyone give a suggestion? Much appreciated!

Might try this. Found it in a Google Search:

How To Block Recent Activity

The other big issue is how news feed stories are published every time you join a group or join a Facebook Page. While Pages that you join will always be public information, you can prevent stories from being generated which notify your friends that you recently became a fan. Unfortunately Facebook has removed the news feed settings from before, however you can still control the visibility of most content by modifying your privacy settings in conjunction with your application settings.

While we published the basic idea behind preventing embarrassing news feed stories in the article “How To Avoid A Facebook Photo Tagging Disaster“, we’ve created a short video to help you understand how to control those events, groups, photos, videos, and pages that generate feed stories. In short, by visiting the application settings page of those applications that are “Allowed to Post”, you can customize which applications, can or cannot post stories to your profile without prompting you first.

For example, if I no longer want my friends to be notified of new Facebook Page that I’ve joined, I can visit the application settings page linked in the last paragraph, and scroll down to where it says “Ads and Pages”. Next, click on “Edit Settings” and in the dialog box which pops up, click on “Additional Permissions”. You can then uncheck the box next to “Publish recent activity” if you don’t want your friends to be notified about new Facebook Pages that you have become a fan of.
