I noticed that facebook delete pages with large number of fans. What kind of pages will be deleted? It is very strange even if you follow the terms of services.
Here are most of the cases in which Facebook deletes a page (although not limited to these): - The page violates the Terms of Service as interpreted by Facebook. - You do not own the subject of the page. For instance, if you make a page about cookies, you do not own all the cookies in the world so your page may be deleted or posting privileges revoked. Pages about your business or anything that you actually own or officially represent, will not be deleted unless you violate the ToS. - Spamming users with irrelevant posts. This is in the Terms, but its a good idea to state it here as well. If you don't do anything I mentioned above that's bad, you shouldn't expect Facebook to remove your fan page - reported or not. When a user submits a report, all Facebook does is review your fan page. If they find something in violation, it will be removed or appropriate action taken; otherwise, Facebook's won't do anything.
Hehe... I've had a fan page about Cannabis Seeds now for about 6 months. Has a few thousand "Like"ers' as well.
I have a script that makes it so the user has to suggest to friends before seeing content, is this allowed? Its not the CTRL script
You can not force them to suggest to friends. The user must be able to bypass it if they so choose. If you need a ToS friendly fan page template, you can find one here. You can also view a fan page with the template in place. You can follow the same kind of design to ensure that it is ToS friendly.
What about something like this? http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!.../117180104994313?v=app_129822867042307&ref=ts (this isn't my page btw)
Those pages don't normally get deleted, they just get their posting privileges revoked because they do not own the subject of the page.
I generally do not go into liking pages and such. Here is what you can do with a fan page: - You can gate content by requiring users to like your page. - You can have a friend-selector on the page, but users must NOT be forced to use it. - You can not use automated means to select friends for the user or invite them all, which includes Javascript in the address bar. This is where the CTRL+V scripts come from and they are illegal.
I appreciate your help SI... I understand your first point. Do you know where I can find the code for your second point? and if I ask my fans to suggest to friends with that code, will my page get banned? Thanks again
My affiliate offers our own FB fan page template here. My affiliate's hosting fan page uses it. You have to like the page to get to step 3, but on step 3 you can see what I mean by having a friend-selector and enabling users to skip the step. You can find the page itself here. As long as users can bypass that step, you're good. Essentially, you can't force users to do anything other than like your fan page to see content.
Hey I used this code: (obviously replacing what I needed too)... <div style="padding: 10px;"> <fb:request-form method="post" type="PAGE NAME" invite="true" content="Join MPORGsoft Fan Page"> <fb:req-choice url='http://www.facebook.com/pages/Atwood-IL/MPORGSoft-Hosting-Affordable-and-Reliable-Web-Hosting/227607484520' ' label='GO' /> <fb:multi-friend-selector actiontext="Join MPORGsoft Fan Page" rows="3" showborder="true" condensed="false" style="width: 400px;" /> </fb:request-form> </div> Code (markup): ...but I got invalid error? Please advise. Thanks
Only those pages are deleted which completely violate their terms and conditions of pages. The problem is that whenever someone creates a fanpage, he or she don't read the TOS for pages and as a result, their fanpages deleted
