I wrote recently about my troubles with Facebook removing a couple of my Tuesday Top Ten posts, so I thought I would see if I can sneak one through.
First, I removed the "Letterman" graphic, so no infringement there and replaced it with an ugly generic one I made.
Second, I wrote a list.
Things that annoy me about Facebook
10: Their customer service. Granted, there are a lot of users (probably with a ton of issues) so do I expect one-on-one chat? Not really.
9. Did I mention their customer service? Okay, so there is no chat, but there must be an email address somewhere, right? No. No there is not.
8. FAQs. There's a lot of them, but do they solve my issue? No. No, they do not. I do however get to select "No" when they ask is the article was helpful. What would be helpful is some help.
7. Feedback form. It does clearly state that no response will be issued, so you know where those forms are going.
6. Facebook ads. I joined Facebook as an author for two reasons. One, to connect to some author/reader groups, and two, run some adds for my books. Well, I must have done something wrong during the setup of my author page because when I tried to create an ad, I was informed I was permanently banned from running ads.
Yeah. Permanently. This was my first experience with trying to get answers from Facebook.
5. Facebook kinda sucks.
4. No, really.
3. Can you tell I ran out of annoyances?
2. Blah, blah, blah.
1. Is Facebook going to remove this post? I'm taking bets.
2:1
Yes
5:1
No
100:1
I get kicked off of Facebook
So, in closing, if anyone working for Facebook reads this, get in touch. We need to talk. It's not me, it's you.
