Facebook is sending too many minor status updates from a distant friend

facebook

I keep getting every single update from a distant friend of mine for anything they do on Facebook. Whether it's a picture or a like. I get notifications for it.

How do I stop this so that I would get notifications from them like anyone else on my friend's list?

That is the default for friends on your "Close Friends" list. If they are on that list you can take them off of the list, or you can change the notification settings for Close Friends by clicking on "Close Friends" in the left sidebar (if it is not visible click on MORE next to FRIENDS and then click on "Close Friends"), then click on "Notifications" at the top and choose "Off".
