Facebook and their moderation

So I got prosecuted once by getting a warning on Facebook for sharing a funny video and really I saw nothing bad about it. But I've reported full no nudity and it doesn't breach their community standards.

Does anyone actually understand the moderation that Facebook does?

Nope I don't understand their community guidelines. I tried reporting a racist comment once, and literally got the "this post doesn't go against our standards" response. I had a image I shared from a page get removed since it "went against their community standards" yet it was a image of a few yellow posts in front of some parking spaces, outside a liquor store. :V I thought it was hilarious but I guess FB didn't...

I feel both of you, I got banned for two days for calling someone "a bot" this term is gaming slang it's nothing aggressive or Worthy of a ban.
Once that ban was done a week later roughly they then decided that wasn't harsh enough and placed 25 days of my posts appearing down the bottom of my friend's feeds.

This is why we need to keep fighting to keep forums around, Hopefully eventually more people will see that forums are still useful.


The fact they went through so much effort on a punishment system is crazy to me💀

Yet if you report actual adult content it won't go against their community standards.

Twitter allows porn too now, They are trying to normalise it thanks to sites like only fans 🤢

If people want to do that stuff it should stay off social media there’s sites for that but not everyone wants to be scrolling through their feed seeing that stuff 😬

It's an automated service so sometimes you will get penalised correctly and others unfairly, it's just one of those things tbh.

yeah true that, the whole site is run by code now.
Sometimes a facebook moderation team member will review it other times you could say something like "stupid ass" just joking with your friend and the bot assumes you're being hostile 😂
So kind of a 50/50 thing depending if the system detects it or not.
 
The Facebook algorithm makes no sense sometimes!! Some friends of mine on there were Sharing something that Facebook was trying to Hide because it violated something...and yet it was a simple prayer. Go figure.

Don't take it personally if Facebook nabs you. It's kind of a like a badge of honor these days!

Their automated system is pretty dumb sometimes, as is the appeal process. Sometimes you get a 3 day ban for what you posted, and when you appeal it and its reversed, your ban is now over. It's also heavily flawed, as I have a friend that likes testing their system by mass posting edgy memes. You'd be surprised at which one got him banned vs the ones that didn't.

I also hate when they get you for something you posted several years ago. Idk if it's because they updated their automation and now it's flagged, but it's pretty silly.

I'm currently serving 14 days account suspension on Facebook from making any comments because I had the word " I swear" in support of a post.

I got a 30 day ban once for defending my beliefs.

That is a ridiculous reason to be suspended. Sometimes their systems can be out of place. I believe they do use some type of AI moderation features to control their platforms. However, I've seen a lot of things that just out right get through their filters, which I'll never understand why that type of content is even allowed on their platform at all.
