Facebook Purge - October 2019 - Are pages getting deleted?

Yesterday got restricted (spam) for my coverphoto added months ago and now my page have 0 reach.

me too yesterday got 0 reach, i post only memes images , no links no videos

I’m getting under 100 reach for posts now. No reason. No warning message. Everything looks normal but post reach dropped to under 100, from the thousands. So, reach cut into 10% of normal. WTF?? I am over this. I’ll run posts for two weeks and ping the support supervisor again with evidence, but frankly, I have none of this heartache with Instagram. FB treats me like a felon.

I have the same issue on one page. happened after they took down a post. usually lasts 7 days.

Did you get a warning message or violation when this happened?

no you don’t see anything. the posts start normal but after a minute the distribution basically stops…crazy…

Thanks for info. And it’s back in a week? If so, I will pause posts for a week. I am disgusted. Page was going great and now more grief again. I have gotten into Instagram and have a 7500 reach after 8 days of unpaid posting. Instagram is also easier to maintain. So

yes after 7 days it was back to normal. I have another page that has the same issue (day 5 of the block) will keep you up to date :slight_smile: at the end of the day it is what it is. if you don’t want to be dependant on the big social networks you have to start your own ■■■■ :wink:

Good. You’ve made me feel better. I’m switching careers and trying to do something I enjoy and that is low stress. So, I built a social media following. I also have a mailing list of people who want to be alerted about the store’s launch. Thank you. I will look for your update.

I love how FB won’t even tell me what I did wrong. They punish me for something I don’t even know about. Top marks for customer service. I’m building Instagram and watching tutorials on Google Shopping strategy. I’ll also play with Google Display Ads and Ebay.

Update on my unpublished page. I got the page back, just waited 6-7 days then the other admin on the page hit the appeal button. He didn’t write any text or something and in an hour the page was published again. Now i just have the story limit until 26 December and I don’t post anything yet. Will let you know about reach and stuff in a month(i plan not to publish anything 1 month).

Please how do you this many reach in just 8 days?

I posted very good posts and used very good hashtags. Now I have some analytics and I will refine posts and hashtags based on analytics. I am trying Later.com. There are many, but I can’t spend a lot on it now. Now, I can do scheduled posts for optimum times, not just any time. I want to reach US, so I need to post from early US morning to US night, across entire country. Not like 3am.

Later has good tutorials. I am not affiliated with them.

You are absolutely correct. I got page back after about 1 week. Just random bug. FB support has ignored me. Now reach is normal. No reason given. Whatever. Glad it’s normal now.

Good to hear it’s back. I feel my pages are even stronger than before, break did us well hhahahah

Has anyone ever seen this message before? I didn’t receive any violations and am seeing this

  • We limit how often you can post, comment or do other things in a given amount of time in order to help protect the community from spam. You can try again later. Learn More
  • If you think this doesn’t go against our Community Standards [let us know]

I get this message when I invite people to like my page “too fast.” Initially, it can last hours. If you do it again, it can last days. Would be best to invite “slower.”

If your page was unpublished I can help you delete your videos, photos and link posts from your pages. The only thing i can’t help you delete are shares to your page. This will help you increase your chance of getting your page published and Facebook has made it harder to remove everything once your page is unpublished. Connect with me…
