Facebook will only remove pages that violate their rules. One little known rule which many violate without knowing is using LIKE AND SHARE competitions.
Any page using LIKE AND SHARE competitions to raise their follower account is violating Facebook rules.
https://www.facebook.com/page_guidelines.php
- the act of liking a Page cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant.
- You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion
- you must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall.
The following posts are examples of posts which are against Facebook Rules
all of these posts are against Facebook rules and the page needs to be reported
The best way to alert Facebook to this this page is to email abuse@facebook.com and clearly state you are reporting a violation of the LIKE & SHARE rules. Even though a page such as this may have content which many find offensive, Facebook will not remove it for that reason, as they will say it is freedom of speech.
The only way to get a page such as this is to be clever and report it for a specific violation of Facebook rules.
Petitions & open letters are very good, but this is something that can actually work & have an impact. Do not engage with the Wade support page, do not leave comments on the Radaronline news item, just quietly and stealthy report to FB for a violation of their rules, THAT is 100% the only way to get that page removed. Lets keep this WITHIN the fan community, do not draw attention to what we are doing, do not go to the media or make any sort of noise. Do the COMPLETE opposite of what he wants, he wants noise, he wants attention, he wants to get noticed. with every comment you make on his page, with every tweet you send him, with every comment on the radaronline page you feed his needs. Thats what true bullies & trolls want, an insatiable need for attention,ignore them & you cut off their oxygen &you hit them where they hurt. The fan community does not need to run to the media with every campaign, to have the media validate every thing we do. by being clever & discreet we can work together, we can achieve things, we can unite & get this page removed.
~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT 12 JULY 2013~~~~~~~~~~~
Some Sample Emails Thanks to @FernandaCamino and Dee Pfeiffer To who concern: Good day. My name is …… I am writing to you to introduce a formal report of a constant violation of the LIKE & Share policy of the company.
Considering next points:
the act of liking a Page cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant.
You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion
you must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall.
The page ……. is violating the rules.
I attach the proofs. Thanks for all.
Sincerely,
Dear Sir/Madam
I would like you to consider taking down a Facebook Page – Supporters of Wade Robson and other victims of MJ – on the basis of its blatant disregard of Facebook’s guidelines on promotions, namely that they are violating your LIKE and SHARE rules as listed here:https://www.facebook.com/page_guidelines.php.
The particular rule being violated is section E (iii) in that the owner/admin(s) are requiring one to like a post in order to participate in an offer (which might not even be genuine). I have attached a screenshot of the said promotion for your perusal, and hope that this will finally ensure that this page gleans the necessary attention and action from yourselves.
Kind regards,
I am reporting a violation of your like and share rules. The Facebook page is entitled: Supporters of Wade Robson and other victims of MJ. Thank you.
I will do my part in getting that fb account closed. Thanks for the heads up. 🙂
Time for it to go
Many thanks for this. Going to report right now.
If people want to report and quote the section they are reporting this under, it is FB guidelines E iii. If possible, also include a screenshot of the offending promotion.
Please remove the site Supporters of Wade Robson and other Victims of MJ for being in violation of the Like and Share rule. The administrator is posting that if you Like/Share the page you will be entered into a drawing for a Sony Ps3 – this is clearly in violation of your rules. Thank you.
Thank You to all who have read the blog and decided to take action. Thank you to all who have shown support and have posted this on other fan sites. Theres Nothing That Cant Be Done If We Raise Our Voice As one….
Please continue to report to Facebook, the more emails they receive the better. And remember dont get angry, get even, use their own words to trap them and get Facebook to take action
Thank YOU for setting this up. Anything that we can do to get this taken care of, by all means. As long as we report, and keep a cool head, the better the chances are of that page being removed.
I WILL DO MY PART I WANT ALL THE LIES AND TRASH TALK ABOUT MICHAEL STOPPED!
Amen. I will do my part in a civil way.
It’s on.
I strongly urge everyone reading this to get involved. The lies need to stop, the hidden agendas need to stop. We can fight back, the right way. Send a message, and let this clown know he’s messed with the wrong fan base.
Done!
Done!!! 😉
I am so proud of the way Michael’s true fans pull together, just as he would want us to do. I love you all and will do all I can to help have the slanderous pages removed.
Have sent an email, despite repeated attempts to block me doing so! Wanting me to download a FLV Media Player in order to continue, for one.
ilove michael to
Done! 😉
This is the first suggestion that has made sense to me in a long time. Thank you.
I will do my part in removing the site Supporters of Wade Robson and other victims of MJ…..Thank you!
I just reported 🙂
