Managing comments on Facebook can be a daunting task. While
it is not entirely impossible, it can be a challenge for larger groups to keep
track of what's coming and going from their pages. But there are several nifty
ways to hide and manage comments on Facebook, even those made by your fellow
users.
The first and most obvious way to do this is to mute or ban
the person who made the comment. You can do this on a post or group, or in a
group. For a group, you can mute all comments, or only those made by certain
people. You can also make a group private so only selected people can post.
This will allow you to control the content of your group's posts a lot more
closely.
For larger groups, a better bet is to use the comment
control function on the page. This can be done in the Account Settings tab by
clicking on the Privacy tab. You can also choose which friends and friends of
friends you want to be able to comment on a post. You can even choose to hide a
certain type of post, like a profile or a photo.
For smaller groups, you might want to stick to a few of your
favorites, like your friends' pages. However, this can be a limiting factor.
For a group of friends, the best way to do this is to hide your posts from only
those users you know are likely to make a comment.
The Facebook app is a bit more complicated when it comes to
managing comments. This is especially true on the web version. You will need to
log in to your account, and then use the Privacy options in the settings tab to
select your desired commenting audience. You can even choose to hide your posts
from certain friends or friends of friends, if you want to keep your content
under lock and key.
If you are a social media manager, you might want to turn
off comments on Facebook posts to avoid some of the trolls who can hijack your
post for all their worth. This is especially true on your personal page, but if
you run a business, you might also want to check out the Facebook post control
options.
In the end, Facebook has come a long way in terms of privacy
options. With every update, it has improved its comment controls to ensure the
safety of its users. However, even with the latest update, you may still be
able to see a comment from a stranger, which is a definite no-no on any social
platform.
The biggest issue is removing the comments from a post,
which can have a negative impact on your PR. For this reason, Facebook has
introduced a number of new features to help with managing comments on Facebook,
including a "Comments are closed" option in the settings tab. This is
the first of many changes to the platform, and it is something you will want to
get used to.
