Facebook Spam - How Does Facebook Tag You As a Spammer?


Don't be bad. Be good. Don' SPAM Facebook.




This fine article by Adam O'Hern spells out some ways that Facebook would label you as a spammer. You don't want that to happen!



Facebook Spam - How Does Facebook Tag You As a Spammer?
By Adam O'Hern


Have you encountered this pop-up message from Facebook before? "Warning! Your account could be disabled. You are using this feature to spam other users. Continued misuse of Facebook features will result in your account being disabled."


If not, I congratulate you. You are still considered one of the million people who are abiding by the "Facebook Code of Conduct."


If yes, I am sorry, you are being tagged as a SPAMMER by Facebook. This action has grave consequences like blocking you from adding friends or worse, terminating your account.


There are many forums on the internet with people complaining about these penalties. Most of them contacted Facebook and asked them why they are being banned. What they are doing wrong and how they can avoid this problem in the future. Sadly a large number of these inquiries have gone unanswered.


Get to know Facebook more...


Facebook uses a proprietary algorithm for determining unusual usage. The system automatically disables accounts whereas the reinstatement process is manual. Facebook states that...


the speed at which you are acting and the sheer number of actions you have made are both taken into account." After a little bit of analysis it's pretty easy to determine what methods are considered spam.
Here are the factors Facebook analyzes when classifying spam:


Number of Friends- Facebook has a way of weighing the amount of friends you have verses the number of messages you send out daily. It is understandable that you may send out 50 daily messages if you have 1000 friends on your account. However, if you are sending out 1000 messages and you only have 100 friends this may look like spam to Facebook.


Content Similarity- Browsing through different profiles and writing the exact same wall post on everybody's wall raises a red flag! There's a high possibility that Facebook will see this as spam activity. What you should do is be creative- switch up and tweak the content you are creating. Otherwise let's be honest, you are acting like a spammer... right?


Average Message Usage- From the observations and studies that we did, we assume that Facebook also considers how active your Facebook inbox is. There is a big chance that Facebook also calculates the average message usage for each user. If you exceed or fall outside a certain deviation from the normal usage, you will be warned and possibly banned.


Time- Facebook keeps track of your time while using their services. A sudden surge in usage will set off Facebook's alarms. An example might be, your account has not been touched for a couple of days, no messages, no wall post, nothing, then suddenly you are sending out 50 messages. Facebook may consider this as an unusual behavior or spamming.


Facebook Activity Factor (FAC)- All the information stated earlier and others that we don't know of are pretty much added up and used to create an overall Facebook Activity Factor which is unique for each and every user. Falling outside this FAC will definitely get Facebook's attention (in a bad way). You may receive a warning like the one displayed at the beginning of this article and if your behavior is not corrected, punishment will occur.


Some people are upset because of the Facebook Algorithm, but the bottom line is that Facebook has good intentions. They want their users to be happy while using Facebook's features and minimize the annoying spam behavior. Facebook continues their battle against spam to bring a satisfactory service to all of their users.

  1. This is more important than ever in a world where there are dozens of different audio formats.
    Next, build a list of prospects and develop a relationship with those
    prospects on your list. What s more is that 2G phones can come in a tinier and slimmer package, even its
    batteries.

  2. It really is developed in this type of way that it makes the driver comfortable
    and in charge as if they are driving an actual car. I haven't really owned the mouse long enough to test the battery life, but Logitech claims it can run for up to two years on a single pair of batteries, and several other reviews I've found online attest to that fact.
    These buttons are a very cool feature for the mouse,
    so if you've never used a feature like this before, don't
    be too intimidated not to try them out.

  3. While some are great fans of Motorbike games, others love to pay games where a lot
    of strategy comes into play. However, antivirus
    problems like Avast often conflict with Real - Arcade games due to the following error or virus detection:.

  4. In most cases they are, but when it comes to updates, patches, etc to the
    mmorpgs. If you don’t have much skill in programming, but still think that creating and developing
    games is the most suitable for you, there are special courses that will give you training in
    graphic designing, game development, and computer animation.

  5. She loves to share hers positive and negative experiences, and staying at , booked through chilloutbali.
    At a bargain 100 bolivianos for 4 hours, they have enough power to get 2 gringo-sized riders up the
    local hills. The only issue I have is that they really should have found a way to double face the can,
    so it will work better in store shelves.

  6. Similar to the cue ball that is shot in pools; this game involves coins and strikers that are essential
    to play carrom game. The only downside of it in a lot of people's eyes is the fact that there is no multiplayer content. t love the unself-conscious little boy or girl, the undaunted miniature explorer who moves with unbridled enthusiasm to experience life.

  8. Sure, we still have traditional radio stations that do perfectly well with
    their traditional equipment, but increasingly, more and more users have shifted to the internet.
    The best internet radios provide around thousands of channels from all over the world.
    So the next time you want to listen to new music you wouldn’t here on commercial radio, consider Internet radio.

  9. The developers are saying that Defiance is a pixel perfect shooter,
    so if you aim at your target's head it WILL be a headshot instead of the invisible dice rolling a 5 and telling you that you somehow missed. It combines RPG elements and strategy for a very interesting game where you must stop the rows of pirates ship from making their way down the river. t love the unself-conscious little boy or girl, the undaunted miniature explorer who moves with unbridled enthusiasm to experience life.

  10. The developers are saying that Defiance is

    more impressive when one considers that the Dodgers had four future Hall
    of Famers in their lineup: Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Pee Wee Reese.

  12. They help separate the fishing men from the boys,
    so you can find an excellent guide who really knows what he's doing. You will also want to have a supply of different lines that you can use. Itis one of the most important aspect is that it is very much pleasurable, peaceful, and every so oftenworthwhile also.

    All spaceship game leveling systems are designed slightly differently, but there are some general concepts that apply to all games in this genre.

    If you want to be able to hit the ball further and harder, you should keep in mind
    to keep your grip on the bat loose, your swing should begin with your legs and hips,
    and finally, you must always follow your bat through.
