Just to clarify…

We have not removed the feature, we have given users the option to turn it off, so they will not get a daily wall post showing who they have named using Polar Rose.

I don’t think that one wall post per day on the days when a user uses the application should be classified as spamming – but we want to give the user the choice anyway.

If the user names someone who is a Facebook contact they (the person named) still receive a Facebook notification (not a wall post) from Polar Rose.

However if the person was named in a photo on Facebook they will get a wall post by Facebook, this is the same wall post that they would get if they had been tagged manually by another Facebook user using Facebook’s own Photos app.

Polar Rose cannot control/turn these off, they are based on the users own Facebook settings for the Facebook Photos app.

If users want to stop these Facebook wall posts they can choose to not synchronize tags back to Facebook from Polar Rose.

Both these new settings are available to Polar Rose users via their settings page.

Based on feedback from users we just released an update that allows users to turn off wall posts.

We can’t, however, turn off the posts that Facebook dows when someone tags them in a photo (via Polar Rose). So we’ve also added a setting where you can ask Polar Rose not to tag the photo back on Facebook.
