Facebook Launches Spam Filter for Wall Posts to Pages

Facebook has added a spam filter to the walls of Pages. Appearing as a separate wall tab which is only visible to admins, the filter automatically removes posts to the Page’s wall which are likely to be spam. These include those that link to spammy websites and requests for users to Like, install, or send a friend request to a specific Page, app, or profile. The feature has been in testing since September, but has now been rolled out to all Pages.

A major problem for Pages is that in order to allow open discussion and increase engagement, admins have to allow those who Like the Page to post to its wall.
