I run a page for our business and have banned one particular female from the page.

It says that she is permanently banned, but just a matter of hours latter she reappears as liking the page.

Any ideas on how she is managing this?

I've reported it as a bug to FB, which frankly is a waste of time. I've trawled through the help section - which is a misnomer.

Could she be deactivating and reactivating her account? Would that clear any bans? I'm pretty sure she's not creating more and more profiles for herself.

So frustrating. Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received!

It looks like she can still "like" the page, but will not be able to comment etc - so bednobs approach may be correct, i.e. don't worry about it.

does it really matter that she presses "like" for the page?
"does it really matter that she presses "like" for the page?"

Yes, as this may allow her to interact with the page in other ways - i.e. be abusive.
oh, ok i never realised that

She really is a nasty piece of work and we have banned her from visiting the premises altogether.

I can't think why she would want to "like" the page other than to cause bother there too.

Be careful however that you're not being libeled elsewhere.

Thanks Ed.

I wrongly assumed that if you had been banned from a page you couldn't view it.

I wonder if I block her from my own personal page, would that then block her from the business page as I'm the admin for it?
Question Author
(Do I get a brown nose badge for giving Ed the Best Answer?)
Does it matter that she can see it if she can't actually post anything on it?

I just wonder if it's worth going to the hassle of trying to stop her as if she's a bit nuts then there's nothing stopping finding other ways of looking at the page, assuming it's an open one.
Question Author
I just wanted to stop her getting updates from the page really. I think I'll just keep removing her when she appears.

As you say Evian, she'll find a way to see the page anyway if she's that determined/demented.
Do you know this person?
Question Author
Ummmm, sadly, yes I do know her. We run a livery yard on the farm and she used to have a horse here. She caused so much trouble when she was here and was kicked out because of it all.
Human beings will never cease to amaze me.
Question Author
The worst of it that she's a grown woman with two children!

I hate having to resort to banning people and removing them from a FB page.
I'd just let her carry on, let everyone else see what a tit she is.
Question Author
I think everyone in a 50 mile radius is aware of her tit-like status, Evian!

I haven't spoken to anyone that has a good word for her. I don't want her to know that she's even an issue for us. Hoped FB actually meant banned when they said it.
Can you not block her?

Has a business page got slightly different rules?
Question Author
You ban folk from a business page, ummmm. But according to Ed's answer ^^, they can still see the page but not comment on it. I'd have preferred it if she couldn't see it at all - help protect our other clients from her seeing what's happening here.

Bloomin' Facebook!
Let us know how you get on.
