Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Problems on Facebook?

[Elizabeth Magill (pastorlizm]

On a page, hiding hides it from everyone except the admins, and the person
who posted the comment. The admins can see it in grey if they choose.

Admins can also hide comments on an event owned by a page.

We discovered that some of the posts are by bots. They get local people
riled, and give them the confidence to reply. So hiding drops the total
volume of attacks way down.

(When I say "we" I mean the police told me this after researching. Ours
included threats to burn our building down and to attend with knives and
guns, so we reported it to the police. They tracked down who was local, who
was a real person but not local, and who was probably a bot.)
