There are times when you know something is just flat out spam. There are others where you might want to give someone the heads up that what they are doing is spammy before taking that extra step and reporting them.
Letting them know can be a somewhat difficult task to do in a kind way so I’ve written up a reference to use in these cases.
“I just wanted to give you the friendly heads up that posting your <insert business / band / organization etc> events weekly directly on the <name of page> page/wall is not good facebook etiquette.
It’s one thing to <insert acceptable use example> but it’s another thing when it looks like you’re posting <repeatedly / all of your events / whatever they have been doing that’s spammy>.
It’s a fine line to walk. And I do understand that at times, facebook’s interface does in fact make it fairly confusing.”
It could use a better close, but that’s what I sent. I may come back to this and add a better close … or if you have a recommendation please feel free to add it in the comments below!
