In the status text-area/text-field appears the last status posted. I don't like this behaviour and I think could be interesting that admins could config it.

Some admins could set this behaviour as is, but others could set it to a specific text like in facebook -> "What are you thinking about?" or simply an empty text.

If you like this idea I think this text could be set-up at Facebook-Style status config. I think that must not be posted as status if the user submit this standar status text (the same that user cannot repeat a status).

What do you think about this?

Title: Standar text in status text-area/text-field » Standard text in status textarea/textfield

First of all, the default text in the textarea/textfield currently disappears as soon as you focus on the field for users with JavaScript enabled in their browsers, so it shouldn't be a huge deal. You can also override the default text that appears for users with no status or who haven't posted a status yet using a translation system to override "@fbssdefault." I'll think about adding a new setting that will let you control what always shows up by default, although it may just be better served by a simple module using this code:

/**
 * Implementation of hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function MYMODULE_form_facebook_status_box_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  $form['status']['#default_value'] = t('MY DEFAULT VALUE');
}
