This New Facebook Page Feature Saves Time
By Gina Cuclis


A frequent topic of discussion in the media advocacy workshops I teach is the time involved to monitor a page for inappropriate posts and comments. Media advocacy is the strategic use of media to influence public policy. Often there's an element of controversy when an organization is working for community change. For example, I have heard from groups working to prevent youth alcohol or drug use that their Facebook pages have become targets from oppositional teens.
You Can Now Be Notified of New Posts and Comments
Facebook now allows Page administrators to be notified whenever someone comments or posts on your page. No more having to keep checking to see if there's a post you need to remove. On the positive side, this feature can help build relationships by making it possible for you to respond immediately to helpful and interesting comments. Simply go to Edit Page > Your Settings.
How to Permanently Ban a Follower
You've found yourself having to delete several comments from a particular individual. You can permanently ban that person from being connected to your page. He won't be able to "Like" it.
There are three ways to do this. The simplest is to click "See All" under the "Likes" section. Find the individual you want to ban, then select the "X" next to his name > Click "Remove." Learn the other two methods for banning a follower by reading this on Facebook help.
Hope you have found these tips to be helpful. Please let us know how you've dealt with troubling posts and comments on your page.
