No, they will not see your post on your wall even if a mutual friend comments on it since the post is blocked from them. If you post on your mutual friend’s wall, the person you restricted may see that post though depending on the settings your mutual friend has in place for that person. I hope this helps!

What about the comment our mutual friend makes on our post? Does my restricted friend see my post through a mutual friend’s comment on it?

Okay, thank you! I hate being at the mercy of everyone else’s privacy settings. I’ll let you know if I figure this out.

I’ve been trying to test this out to see, but at the moment none of my friends are posting anything publicly that are current for me to comment on. My hunch is that yes, they will see a comment on a mutual friend’s public post in the ticker. I’m uncertain if they’ll see what you do on a non-mutual friend’s public post. It doesn’t LOOK like they would. I found a person’s public post and “liked” it then checked my timeline to see if it posts there. I’d say get a couple of friends to work with you and test it out. Have them tell you what they see. Keep in mind that the comment you leave wont show up in the streams immediately, give it like 10 min or so to be sure. I’m curious as well if this will work. I’ll see if I can find some friends to test it with me.

Oh, from what the other commenter says, it looks like if you post to a friend’s wall who doesn’t have things locked down it’ll be on your timeline/wall, as a mention. Not sure about comments and likes though.

Let’s say that you’ve placed someone on your restricted list. When you post a comment on a non-mutual friend’s “public” or “friends of friends” post, will your comment still show in the ticker of the person that is on your restricted list? What about if you do have mutual friends with your restricted list person?

I hate that stupid ticker. Really. It’s a Facebook megaphone.

I’m on a guy’s restricted list, I believe, coz I’ve tested it. Basically all I see are news feed on his Wall 1) if he leaves a message on someone else’s publicly viewable Wall, 2)Events he is going, 3) The last post I put on his Wall on his birthday and 4) his latest relationship status. Somehow, he chose NOT to hide his relationship status from me. He hides his Likes, Music, TV shows and whatnots from me. So, everytime he “likes” a Page, I cannot see that news feed on his wall. Needless to say, he even hides ALL his photos from me. He hides his friends List. So, when he adds a friend, I cannot see that news feed on his Wall. No, I cannot see the older posts I left on his Wall or photos. The only way I can see those old posts/comments I made is through the my own old news Feed links on my Wall. Even then, I am not able to leave any comment. Well, I don’t know why he still calls us “friends”. I’m not bothered to delete him or restrict him like he does to me. I don’t spend as much time on FB like he does. So, whatever issue he has with me, that is his own childish problem.

As soon as you restrict the person, all wall posts that are not public will be hidden from them, including the comments. Test it out, go into Facebook, place someone on your restricted list then go to your profile and do the “View As” and you’ll see exactly what they can see. You can always remove the person after you test it, they’ll never know you restricted them. They will not see any photos, unless you or a mutual friend tags them in your photos. And if a mutual friend tags the restricted person you’ll get the option to approve the tag before it’s made official.

If you restrict a person from your Facebook wall will it still show old post on the wall from before they were placed on the restricted list and if so can they see a newly placed comment on the old wall posting if you comment back to that paticular wall post? Not sure how a restricted wall looks on Facebook in the eyes of the person restricted

It could mean any number of things. It could be he’s asked his friends to stop tagging him in photos. It could be his friends have changed their settings on photos. It could also be that you’re subscribed and not officially a “friend” and facebook has changed how that works (I’m not sure if they have to be honest) It could be that he’s changed some setting for what shows to people who are subscribed to him. If you ARE a “friend” he may have created different lists to share only what he feels is appropriate. It’s really hard to know exactly and I’d say the most direct way to know is to ask him.

I’m curious…I have a friend that I subscribe to that normally posts updates often and is tagged by friends in pictures and places on a regular basis…but about a week ago I noticed his activity dropped off. I’m still subscribed to his updates, and I can still see when he posts pictures himself, likes something or posts on someone’s wall, and I can still write on his wall & see all his friends & his last status update like a week ago…but I haven’t seen him tagged in any places or pictures. Does this mean I’ve been put on a limited or restricted profile? Or am I just being paranoid?
