Facebook adds new tools for admins to offer better control on communities

Facebook has announced new admin tools to offer better control of online communities. Admins can now restrict people who don’t qualify to participate based on several options, such as how long they’ve had a Facebook account or whether they have recently violated group rules.

Facebook now even allows admins to proactively prevent comments they don’t want from showing up in your group. Admins also get the power to deduce promotional content by declining posts and comments with specific links, with feedback for the author, so they can edit their post and re-submit it for review.

Admins can now use preset criteria from Facebook to help with priorities such as limiting spam and managing conflict.
