War On Guns Correspondent
Neil W was one of the readers who sent me a link that resulted in
this post. As is my practice, I sent him my link to let him know his tip was used.
Facebook marked my reply as spam on a thread he initiated with me. It's not the first time he's alerted me to that.
My whole policy on "social media" -- I don't use it for social stuff, but solely to publicize my work. As such, I don't send out "friend requests" because that would be spamming. All of my "friends" initiated contact with me, and I screen them to try and avoid trolls and whores. Ditto, I find I'm in a lot of groups I never even heard of -- someone took it on themselves to add me. So if any of those don't want to see my links, they're free to back away.
What I don't know is if an anti did slip in and has filed spam complaints, if someone or some algorithm at Facebook is doing it, or if this particular account has a security setting triggering a spam designator. Naturally there is no obvious way to contact anyone on Team Zuckerberg and who's got time to waste on "help groups"?
Right now I have one question: Anybody else on Facebook seeing my links tagged as spam?
