Facebook gone a bit insane with their banned word lists?

[methaman]

It seems to be almost impossible to start a facebook page nowadays with their "banned phrases" list - today I had a page denied it's creation because I used the phrase "shocking pictures". Is there a ready-made list anywhere so we could get a bit of a guideline when creating pages?

edit: scratch that, facebook is a lot smarter than I thought. The phrase "shocking pictures" is only banned when used in conjunction with "Oil Spill" - looks like they're filtering by what groups are popping up everywhere at the moment.

Are you sure you're account isnt flagged?

thats because threads like these pop up http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...age-title-will-make-page-grow-noobs-only.html and all the 1000 copycats here are rushing to do the same theme so monkey see monkey do exactly as what was posted inside....lol

Be more creative and you have no problem in that.

Positive I changed the group to show another environmental disaster that wasn't oil spills, and it accepted it just fine.

And there's definitely a banned word/phrase list - for example, try start a page with "facebook" in it's title.

I have a page with "Facebook" in the title. Then again.. it's a year old so maybe that's a new thing.

Hmm, its possible. They've been cracking down on pages, very annoying. But i doubt anyone here/not working for FB has this list.

Does it ban your page 2-3minutes after the creation or directly doesn't allow you to create one?

Directly does not allow creation. There's a tonne of different phrase algorithms, it seems. I can create a group called "SHOCKING pictures of...etc etc", but if I put "Top Ten" at the start, it won't allow it's creation.

That sucks... what if I had a restaurant called "top ten" that would suck for my business. =/

Even "Mafia Wars" words is blocked.

You can't get any word that is sure you are not legal representative of that business/person.

Try to make some page with Manchester United players like Wayne Rooney or **************'s Cesc Fabregas etc. any could not make it..
