Rules Why can't I advertise a FB Page Creation service?

    OK... why am I getting infractions for creating facebook pages with likes/fans? is this not an acceptable service? for members here... I see a lot of similar threads here selling likes and I am the one that gets in the shit... and my posts removed.

    I thought that selling friends and likes was wrong, which I am not doing, I am selling a service to make a page with 100 fans/likes. Which is different yeah?

    Can someone point me to the rule I am breaking? This forum is getting hard to follow.

    And why not delete the threads asking for facebook promotions then? because it's obvious we can not offer the service or reply?

    I'm not selling pages, announcements, groups, blasters, bots, etc. Even Facebook allows this... I am simply being paid to create a person/customer a page and manage it for them... how is that illegal in terms of DP.

    It seems that etc. covers what ever the admins want and who ever they want... my question remains, why do we have a shit load of threads asking for the service if we can not reply?

    See there's a handful breaking the rules, offering or asking for a similar service such as mine... I could go on, but I am pissing into an ocean of piss.

    Seems to me you've answered your own question (refer to the bolded points above in your quote).

    Yeah I know that, it's just stupid that people can ask for this service and not get a response... as if I reply, I get an infraction - so hence these people asking are wasting posts and should also receive an infraction.

    So the original rules thread by admins should say No Facebook, Youtube, MySpace services at all or period. Not a lazy etc. which is up in limbo, I don't see a rule no page creation.

    The point of the rule (I thought) was not to spam walls, profiles and sell illegal services that break the terms of Facebook.

    I am not breaking the rules of Facebook as I am providing a legal service for people who otherwise could not.

    So if there's no issue on or for Facebook - then why is it an issue here?

    I don't know why it's an issue here but it is what it is. It might seem stupid to you, but the people behind DP have got it in place for a reason, I think that reason is due to the fact that a lot of social networking features which people sell such as page creation on Facebook can be made for free, which in turn means a lot of spam of these topics.

    I know they can be made for free, but so can articles, so can websites, so can hosting, so can traffic, so I don't think that is the reason, it's because they think I am selling "likes" which is not allowed, nor is selling pages or groups I guess. But it's Ok to sell shit dodgy traffic for 1000 hits for a dollar, it's OK to sell the same re-hashed articles a thousand times over, it's OK to sell domains that have been dropped with fake PR. Last of all it's OK to sell: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2027828 - "Likes" if you're this person.

    If you see something that breaks our rules, use the Report Post button. Simple.

    But aren't you selling fanpage indirectly whilst you aint the owner of Facebook?
    Just being honest.

    Nope, as they admin it with me, I just assist with promotions until they reach 100 fans... I dunno. Guess it's just a twist on selling fans... a loop hole on the rules, what if I was to sell a fan page with my website? is that breaking rules... as that's happening a lot.

    Same here, don't know if Digital Point above is a mod or not, but telling me to report cases is not much of a help, it's a large niche and it needs to be covered in the rules, the demand is massive and I don't want to go black hat or sell my service elsewhere. There's businesses based on social services and providing support... even celebrities outsource their social campaigns and hire mangers to update twitter and facebook fan pages - but yet this service is deemed as illegal here...
