Bad FaceBook MoJo

It’s probably happened to you.  You “LIKE” something, then a few days later your FaceBook account gets a mind of its own liking porn or worse of the worst on the web.

Chances are you liked what looked like a legitimate page, and accepted the permissions (most apps/likes etc., almost always want to post to your FB page as you) and now you’re in a conundrum.  You don’t want to delete your profile and start over.  How do you fix it?

You can try and find the Customer Service address for Facebook – I tried that once without much luck, maybe it was staring me in the face but couldn’t locate it and when I did nobody ever replied to me.  Or you can take matters into your own hands.  It’s easy.

First find the offending post(s), for this example I’ll use ZAGG (they are a GREAT company – this is ONLY BEING USED for an example):

Hover your mouse above the BOXED ARROW as shown in the picture above and CLICK on it.  Next you should see this:

At this point you can either REPORT STORY OR SPAM or HIDE ALL BY [offending item name]

You’re done.

If you HIDE ALL these rogue posts will never show-up on your account, but I would also recommend REPORTING THE STORY.  Hopefully FB would then take action against those rogue posts.
