There are two main scenarios you may encounter: hitting a comment on someone else&#8217;s timeline or posting a comment on your own page. In either of these cases, there is a reversible option. In this article, we&#8217;ll explain how to hide a comment on Facebook and which scenario applies to you. You can then follow the steps above to prevent others from seeing the comment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reversible_action_of_hiding_a_comment_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Reversible action of hiding a comment on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reversible action of hiding a comment on the social networking site Facebook gives admins control over what their fans can and cannot see. However, overusing this option can cause community management issues. In this article, we will talk about when you should use the hiding option. We will cover common situations where hiding a comment is a good idea. But if you&#8217;re unsure about when to use it, keep reading to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>Hiding a comment on Facebook is a useful way to address issues with users without being found out. Sometimes, misunderstandings can be the result of human error and you want to be professional and avoid hurting your business. However, this feature is not effective in all cases, and you may want to delete or ban abusive users who leave inappropriate comments. Even if a user has removed their comment, he\/she can still see the reply to the original comment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_possible_scenarios_of_hiding_a_comment_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Two possible scenarios of hiding a comment on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve made a comment and now don&#8217;t want the person who posted it to see it, you can choose to hide it. However, the commenter will still be able to view it and may report it if the content violates Facebook&#8217;s community standards. This is a good solution if a user leaves a negative comment about your business on your Facebook page out of frustration. This solution can turn frustrated users into loyal customers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to hiding a comment on your Facebook page, you can also hide individual comments on state updates and posts. This way, only people connected with the individual can see the comments. If it is not necessary, you can also unhide it completely. In either case, you can only hide the comment if you see it is hateful or spammy. If you&#8217;re worried that the post may be viewed by others, you can always hide the comment for future reference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hitting_a_comment_on_somebody_elses_timeline\"><\/span>Hitting a comment on somebody else&#8217;s timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How can I prevent someone from posting a comment on my timeline? Facebook lets you set restrictions on the time you can post and comment on other people&#8217;s timelines. You can also change the status of certain people in your customized friend list. You can assign people as close friends, acquaintances, and family, with different permission levels. If someone isn&#8217;t allowed to make comments, they won&#8217;t be able to post them. If you want to keep your friend list private, you can block them.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to prevent people from posting comments on your timeline is to set a private comment. Then, you can decide who gets to comment on your timeline. Often, you&#8217;ll have to ask permission before leaving a comment, so don&#8217;t just hit send. Instead, you can click the &#8220;Comment&#8221; link and type your comment or paste a URL. This way, you&#8217;ll be able to approve or reject other people&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hitting_a_comment_on_a_page\"><\/span>Hitting a comment on a page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes hitting a comment on a page on Facebook is impossible, due to the cache element. If this is the case, you can try turning off your VPN. However, this may not solve the problem permanently. If this does not work, you can try to find out why you are unable to comment on a page. In some cases, a poor network connection may be the cause of the problem. If this is the case, try to turn off your VPN temporarily to see if that helps.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the issue is technical. For instance, some special characters may not be recognized by Facebook&#8217;s system. If this is the case, you can report it. Otherwise, Facebook may be performing an update. Or, perhaps the system is witnessing a problem on one of its servers. If this issue persists, you may have to wait until Facebook fixes the problem. But, the good news is that the issue can be fixed!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hitting_a_comment_on_a_group\"><\/span>Hitting a comment on a group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in a group, you may be wondering how to stop people from replying to your comments. Facebook has a built-in mechanism that enables you to slow down comments to a certain rate. However, you can&#8217;t slow down comments for individual posts in the news feed. Fortunately, Facebook group admins and moderators have the power to control this. If you&#8217;re a group admin, you can choose to slow down comments on any post in your group.<\/p>\n<p>If the problem persists, try logging out of Facebook and re-logging into your account. Alternatively, you can clear your cache and cookies to reset your browser and app and remove any bugs that might be preventing you from commenting. Once you&#8217;ve cleared the cache and cookies, you should be able to post comments again. Once again, you&#8217;ll need to sign back in to check if the problem has been solved.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UdWDb_8647M\" width=\"404\" height=\"226\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide a Comment on Facebook You might be wondering how to hide a comment on Facebook.
