i have a fan page with alot of like, and theres someone i want to ban but they havent made any comment etc so the only way i no of to ban them is to go through every single like to find them and im not gonna lie it would take me forever..
So is there a quick way to add someone to the ban list?
Hi Scriptox, I have run into the same issue. Following the help button on Facebook didn't help either. They direct you to clicking on seeing your "likes" and the problem with that is if you have over 500 people who "liked" your page you won't be able to get to the person you are trying to ban if they aren't one of the most recent 500.
Here is the solution. First step is you will need to open Google Chrome, as this method will not work with any other browser.
Second Step: Find the Facebook ID number of the person you want to block.
You can find this by going to their Facebook page and looking at the address bar for the url of their page. It should look something like this: hxxp //www facebook com/profile.php?id=100005555555555
There is a caveat: if the user you are trying to block has created a vanity url to replace their assigned url - that is, if they have a url like www facebook com/johndoe instead of a url that ends in a string of numbers - you're going to have to do a few more steps, namely: go to the facebook profile of the person you want to block. Click on their "Photos" section. Click on one of their photo albums. Now, as you're looking at one of their albums, look up in the address bar. You'll see something like this: hxxps // www facebook com/media/set/?set=a.162707780421365.39001.100005555555555&type=3 The last string of numbers between the "." and the "&" is the Facebook user id. So in this example, the user id is 100005555555555.
Third Step: Go to your Facebook Page.
Toward the leftermost, top part of your page, you'll see an area titled "New Likes". To the right of the title you'll see a link called"See All". Right click on this link and open it as a new tab. It has to be a new tab & this process will not work if you just click on the link. (If you know your business page's id, there's a quicker way. Type "hxxps // www facebook com/browse/page_fans/?page_id=" in the address bar of a new tab. Stick your business page id after the equals sign, click the enter key, & PRESTO CHANGO you're there.)
Fourth Step: Select a "Remove" Button.
You'll see a list of all the people who like your page. To the right of each user's profile picture and name, there's a "X". Right click on one of these Xs and select "Inspect Element" from the drop down menu.
Fifth Step: Find the Applicable code.
At the bottom of the page, you will see a block of text highlighted (in blue) that looks something like this:
<input type="hidden" autocomplete="off" name="page_id" value="000000000000>
<input type="hidden" autocomplete="off" name="user_id" value="100005555555555>
<input type="hidden" autocomplete="off" name="act" value="remove">
<label for="uewexf_11><input title="Remove" type="submit" id="uewexf_11></label>
<input title="Remove" type="submit" id="uewexf_11>
Sixth Step: Prepare to edit code.
Right click on the <input type="hidden" autocomplete="off" name="user_id" value="100005555555555> line, and select "Edit as HTML" option.
Seventh Step: Edit code.
Take the Facebook user id number that you got in step one, and replace the number after "user_id" value=" in the code.
Eighth Step: Save Changes.
Click somewhere outside of the editable zone to save your change, but do not close the "Inspect Element" window.
Ninth Step: Click the same "X".
Go back to the "People Who Like This Page" segment of your open page and find the same "X" you right clicked on in step 3. Remember: it has to be the same "X"; if you click on a different "X", one of your kind and trusting fans will be unceremoniously blocked from your page, and you'll be an unkind person.
Tenth Step: Remove offensive person.
A window will pop up, asking you if you're sure that you want to remove the person you're trying to remove from your page. (Of course you're sure, otherwise you wouldn't go to such lengths to get this far in the first place, but it's still nice that Facebook asks.) Make sure you check the "Ban Permanently" box at the left of the window. Then hit "Okay".
There you have it, you banned a person that doesn't show up on your New Likes list, or someone who has not even made a post or comment. Facebook doesnt make it easy but thankfully it is still possible with this method!
