Facebook Implements Page Wall Post Comment Spam Filter

Facebook now turns spam and unrelated comments on Page posts gray to denote them as low quality to admins, while leaving the blue background on other comments. This passive spam filter is applied to new comments on old posts, but hasn’t been retroactively applied to old comments. The filter will make it easy for admins to quickly sift through thousands of comments and delete spam.

In most cases, grayed out comments won’t appear to other users.
