Wouldn’t it be nice if you cold moderate comments on Facebook? Think how many issues that would resolve in the corporate world. You could just say to your CEO, “Hey man, its cool. I can review comments before they are posted.” Well I have bad news; you really can’t moderate Facebook comments. But there are a few little tricks to keep tabs on people interacting with your page.

Like a Comment on Facebook

If you want to subscribe to a particular thread, or comment on Facebook, simply add your own comment or “like” the post. If you like the post or leave a comment then you will be notified each time a new comment is posted. If you manage a corporate Facebook page this is a good idea because it will allow you to monitor each comment. So if someone says something negative you can jump in and respond or potentially delete it or mark the comment as spam.

Disabling Wall Posts on Facebook

If you want to go the super conservative route you can also simply disable wall post on Facebook. To do this log into your Facebook page and navigate to the “Wall Settings” area.

Once you are in wall settings click edit and a dropdown menu will appear.

 

The menu will give you the following ways to moderate Facebook. You will be able to moderate who can write or post to your wall, you can also moderate who is allowed to post photos, videos and links.

So as of right now this is the only way you can moderate comments on Facebook. You can of course excessively check Facebook every few minutes too. But for your sanity, we suggest you either like the comments you want to follow or disable certain elements, especially if you have a large community.
