Hi all,
As you may have noticed recently, we"ve not advertised any of our online events on Facebook. This is due to Facebook closing our APAT "page" - without any warning. On appeal, they said the reason why was that we"d been reported for advertising online games - something that is against their t&c"s. We weren"t aware of this rule, but that held no weight in our appeal ("ignorance is no excuse" etc.)
We still have our Facebook "group" as we had been using the "page" to advertise online games, and had never advertised them on the "group". However, we"re obviously not allowed to advertise games on the group page, or risk losing that too.
With Facebook as our main way of engaging our members to alert them of online offerings, this is obviously of great concern, and was partly responsible for the low turnout for the Welsh Online Event.
Members are still allowed, and encouraged, to "share" APAT posts on their own Facebook profiles. In fact, this would be a great help.
