Facebook: Trolls driving you crazy? 

Are strangers posting Comments on your Public Timeline like this: "I like your ideas, please send me a friend request" OR "I know someone who can fix your hacking problem"?

Here's the way to muzzle them, without changing your overall account privacy to Friends-only:
Visit: facebook.com/settings
Then click on "Followers and public content," and change this one setting ("Public post comments" in the mobile app) to anything but Public - you'll thank me later:

UPDATE: You'll need to make the same change to "Public profile info" - the trolls are getting sneaky.

ALSO: Do you run a Facebook Page? Don't be fooled by trolls like this. The account will send you a message similar to the one below, which can be safely moved to the Spam folder. Here's the troll account (later: defunct) that just tried to extort me: fb.com/61557067420715
