@theag I used to have a master list of words that I would just add to the profanity filter in the Page Settings, so pretty much every comment was auto-hidden, and then daily I'd just go in and approve the good ones to show. Saves a lot of time.
Damn, thanks, you just saved me so much headaches! Bunch of forum cash coming your way

That's weird, they must have changed it. The words should be under "Page Moderation", like the screenshot of one of my old page settings below:

I haven't advertised on FB in a while, so maybe they really did change it. I don't see why they would, though.

My Self-esteem is not dependent on what others think about me, bad or good. My self-esteem is internally sourced.

Therefore it's of no relevance or importance what some dumb a$$ thinks about me.

Yeah thats where I entered them. But nothing was showing up in the spam section in the activity log.

Today I wondered why I saw no comments on my ads since yesterday evening. Nothing under spam again.

But now I see the auto-hidden new comments under my ad and can approve them :). Was just looking in the wrong place. Apparantly only posts to page show up in the spam section and comments dont..

"The best revenge is massive success" - Jim Rohn

You should be thankful to have haters if you do.

Haters are a good thing.

Haters mean your doing it right.

Haters mean your they angry at themselves for not pushing themselves to success like you are.

It's just noise. Noise does nothing but distract you from your goals.

Wolves don't care about the opinions of sheep.

Stay focused, be the wolf, not the sheep.

  1. Haters don't know what they're talking about. They THINK they know, but they're wrong
  2. Children don't know what they're talking about. They THINK they know, but they're wrong
  3. Treat haters the same way you treat children.
Imagine a child who tells you it's "impossible" for planes to fly because "they're too heavy". No matter how many arguments you give them explaining how planes fly, they keep finding arguments for why it's impossible.

It'd take an insecure adult to get into an argument with a child. A slightly older child might get into a legit argument with the young child.... but an adult never will. They'll just smile and say "sure thing champ." In the end, what the child thinks has no impact on the adult or actual reality.

This is what MJ is talking about when he says "Your reality doesn't affect mine". It doesn't matter what the kids say or what reality children live in, it doesn't affect you, it ultimately doesn't matter.

I now filter most of what my friends, family, media, etc. say through this children lens. It's a little amusing, it makes me smile when I hear cute things like "It's impossible". I don't get angry, I don't talk down, I don't argue, I just smile and say "sure thing champ."

Thanks that really helped out and put a smile on my face.

How do you deal with Haters?

Question?

Why do haters need to be "dealt" with?

Haters are haters. A fact of life whenever you're doing something that grabs public attention.

How to deal with haters is like asking how to deal with the rain during the Costa Rican rainy season. It is, what it is.

Bring an umbrella and go about your business.

I enjoy having haters. It means I am doing something well.
Yea, it means your work is starting to penetrate in a bigger scale. Not something to fret about, something to celebrate.
