Due to the problems with the Facebook Request Page mentioned in the post below, you can't get rid of old gift requests that you've already accepted. At the least this is very annoying if you like a clean Request Page. If you want to get rid of them, there is a workaround. All you need to do is block Mafia Wars and then Unblock it. I often do this when I have too many requests to accept. Some worry that blocking Mafia Wars will cause them to lose progress in Mafia Wars. All timers will remain and nothing will change your account unless you leave it blocked for at least 90 days. To block and unblock, follow the instructions below to get your Request Page back to normal. Remember you will need to do this every time you want to clean your request page. The bug is still there, this is just a method to delete old requests that you have already accepted.
Block Mafia Wars
1. Accept all of the pending gifts that you care about. The Request Page will only hold up to 100 requests so if you have more, you won't be able to accept them.
Unblock Mafia Wars
1. Go to your Privacy Settings from your Account Drop Bar.
If at anytime you block the Mafia Wars application, remember that you will need to grant permission to any Spockholm scanning scripts that you use. I usually go to Stream Helper and do this then the other scripts will be covered. These programs can't scan your news feeds if they don't have permission to access them. When you block the Mafia Wars application, it also cuts off the permission granted to the Spockholm bookmarklets.

ReplyDeleteThe request page will only show 100 requests at once; once you ignore or accept a few and refresh the page, the rest will show up (up until 100 requests).
Blocking the Mafia Wars application also means you will have to give permissions to any feed scanning bookmarklets again, e.g. Stream Helper, Event Scanner, etc.
I wouldnt have believed it on any other source..
ReplyDeleteThanks!.. :)
Have tried that and got rid of old requests, now new ones appearing that I have accepted wont disappear
ReplyDeleteJust one word 'SMART' TY
ReplyDeletethx ;)
ReplyDeleteTo bad Jenn didn't come up with it.
ReplyDelete@Gary As was written in the post until facebook fix the bug you will need to keep re-doing it as soon you start to get a back log of old requests.
ReplyDelete@Dan "Just Stating" You are wrong mine are working just fine :-)
ReplyDeletei followed the directions, and lost all my request, that sucks
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help
ReplyDeleteWe are having to redo it several times.. FB must fix it soon... I know that I am in a MW page but it is also happening with other kimes like FV and Zynga Reward... It is all just ubeliveable

ReplyDeleteThat was the whole point of this exercise - had you read the post thoroughly you would have known this.
Works like a charm! :-)
ReplyDeletei went thru all my requests first...made sure i had piggy's n all before i blocked Mafia.........It worked perfectly.....but i did READ the posts first !!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI followed the directions, and LOST all my request also..........no more ferry passes.... bummer! Sorry to all that I will not be returning gifts to since I don't know who you are anymore. Advise: go in and collect and read all of your gifts and post first.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, worked perfectly x
ReplyDeleteIs there plans by FB to fix the issue?
ReplyDeleteu can also use wall scrubber it only accepts the gift u want and dumps the rest a huge time saver with all the spam events and secret stash requests seems overwhelming and with 2700 in mafia i am getting buried with junk gifts
ReplyDeleteFollowed the instructions step by step..It worked! Wish I had found this yesterday when I tried over and over again to remove the clutter! GAMESAVER!
ReplyDeletemy problem same as anonymous 5.50
ReplyDeleteam said... all my requests also gone...
FFS, Guys losing ALL ur requests is THE WHOLE IDEA..... It's not fixing the problem, it's just a temporary solution that helps u to see more clearly in ur requests, cuz u got tons of shit u dont need anyway there!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing stinks. Facebook or Zynga should temporarily shut down the games to fix the bug correctly. How about people who have used their credit cards to play this game? By the way, this problem also exists when you play Farmville. Maybe they should apologize to the players and offer any money back that they are not getting the game to play the way it was meant to be played.
ReplyDeleteWORKED LIKE A GEM ..IT WAs so easy that even CAVEWMAN CAn do it the way you wrote it up Jenn.. ty
