Instead of letting Facebook game requests rule your life, be proactive and block Facebook game requests.

What is the Facebook organize tool?
The Facebook organize tool is a way to remove updates from your news feed from people you don’t interact with very often.
When you use the organize tool to remove people, you are telling Facebook that you don’t want to see updates from those individuals in your news feed – you’re not actually disconnecting your friendship with those people.
Instead, what this does is it reduces the number of updates you see in your news feed from them.
This is very helpful if there are people you haven’t interacted with someone in quite some time.
Using the organize tool is very easy. Follow the instructions below to start cleaning up your news feed with the Facebook organize tool.
