Topic-icon Limit amount of posts to Facebook on auto login feature

When enabled, JFBC autologin post a to Facebook which is good as it attracts more people to your site but also it has 1 downfall.
People will start blocking your app also as it does this EVERY time you login which in my case is a lot of times per day.
So as I got so much negative feedback I decided to disable this autopost on login feature :(

My advice will be to limit the amount of times the post can be send to Facebook.
I see the same built in feature on the Open Graph settings so I think implementing this will allow me to have more control and still be able to use it as it supposed to be.

Rodster,
We do have some code to check if the post that's about to made is *not* the same as the last post in your feed. Unfortunately, Facebook changes how they report the last post and it seems to be breaking that detection sometimes.

With that said though, disabling that feature is what we'd recommend. We're actually going to be (likely) removing that feature at some point over the next 6 months, because:
* Facebook recently revised their App Platform policies to state that any posts to a users wall must be approved by the user and/or have a user-editable message. The way we're doing it right now, that's not possible.
* It can get spammy, even if it's only posted once (definitely when it's repeated a lot). Some of our users use very, very promotional text in their messages, which gets the message deleted by the user and the app marked as spam even quicker than a simple "I just registered on..." type message. We'd like to protect our users a little more from that happening.
* Open Graph Actions are a ton better as they convey a message of how the user is interacting on your site. As we add more Open Graph Action support, we're hoping our users will move to that over the auto-post feature anyways as it's a much more socially engaging message for their friends.

We are evaluating other options for how to post to a wall on registration (not so much on login) so that the option is still there for admins, but also better in general.

Hope that helps explain, sorry for the issues, and thanks for your feedback,
Alex
