[Dee Man]

How do i make it so I can only get friend requests from friends of friends adding me on facebook? Because im tired of getting friend requests from strangers and creepers that I dont even know and have no mutual friends with..... I knew how to do it before but now Facebook made a new update and i dont see the setting to block friend requests from people i dont know.... please someone tell me step by step how to solve this.

1.) Log in to Facebook.com

2.) Click "Account" in the top right, and select "Privacy Settings" from the drop-down menu.

3.) Click "View Settings" under "Connecting on Facebook."

4.) Click the button on the line "Send you friend requests," and select "Friends of friends" from the drop-down menu. This blocks everyone except people already connected to your Facebook friends.
