How To Remove Auto-Posting

Some players are noticing that their Mafia Wars requests are auto posting to their walls. This became really apparent when the new property was added. When clicking on the "Ask for More" button, there is not a request to publish and the buttons immediately change to "Request Sent". The request is automatically published to your wall. This put a damper on the trick used to post 4 property requests at once outlined here. The work around is quite simple. All you need to do is go to your wall and copy the link location of your old posts.

If you don't like auto-posting, there is a way to stop it. Go to your Account Settings from the Account Menu.

Select Apps located in the upper left corner.

From the list of your applications, find the Mafia Wars and click on "Edit".

From the option "Post to Facebook as me", click on "Remove".

The next time you click on the "Ask for More" button, you will get a popup trying to get you to undo what you've just done. Click "No".

You will now get a requests that you control. To get more property parts, copy the link address from posts already on your wall, go to a url shortening site and make small links then copy the to your wall or group.

While you are on the application edit page, scroll to the bottom and check the App activity privacy setting. If you have it set to "Only Me" then your posts will not be visible to anyone but you and your mafia members won't see them.
