Adjust the Profanity Filter and Content Moderation Settings
Facebook provides an automated feature for blocking profanity from your page. To turn on this filter:
1. Select Settings from the left-hand Manage Page menu.
2. From the General tab, navigate to Profanity filter and select the checkbox to enable this feature. Click the Save changes button to confirm.
NOTE: There is an additional setting above the Profanity filter named Content Moderation. This adds additional protection against bad language on your page. Please contact the Area PCS Communications Team for assistance to activate this feature.
Adjust Settings for Visitor Posts
For most school pages, we recommend that only the page admins and moderators should be allowed to post to the page. By default, visitor posts are enabled when you create a new page and we suggest that you turn this feature off. By turning this feature off, you maintain control of the main content that will appear on your page, but other users will still be able to like and comment on posts. To turn off visitor posts:
1. Select Settings from the left-hand Manage Page menu (as shown earlier in this article).
2. From the General tab, navigate to Visitor Posts and select Disable posts by other people on the Page to disable this feature. Click the Save changes button to confirm.
Other Settings
Many other settings can be adjusted to ensure that your page is optimised for reaching your school community. Only a few key settings have been addressed in this series of article. For assistance regarding other settings on your page, please contact the Area PCS Communications Team, or feel free to study more about page settings using these guides provided by Facebook:
