Block All Requests from a Facebook Application

A lot of Facebook applications, particularly games, send out requests. A lot of people find these annoying since they appear in the same area as other more important invitations such as events and friend requests. You don’t have to ignore these application requests — you can actually click through and block them for good.

The next time someone sends you a request from a game or other application, click on it and look for the link that says “Block This Application”.

A pop-up dialog box will ask you to confirm or cancel the block.

After you confirm the block, you will no longer receive requests from that game/application. People often send these out because the games they’re playing give them rewards for doing so… this is a good way to ignore the requests without having to ask anyone to “knock it off”.
