New Facebook Dating Restrictions? (11)

New Facebook Dating Restrictions?

I do quite a lot of media buying for an advertising agency in Facebook. One the many apps they promote is AYI.
I just had to delete almost all my ads because Facebook came back to them with new restrictions.
My headlines with "WANTED Older Man" or "Seeking Older MAN" which I have run for months were deemed to be unacceptable since they called out a users age.

When we tried to clarify the issue with facebook they said the following is not allowed for dating:
Headlines Not Allowed:
"Date NAME"
"Meet 5 Girls Now"
"Any Age Call Outs"
"Cupid Message (1)"

Images:
Myspace-ish pics (cell phone cameras)
No references to FB objects (ie. Click Like).
Body part pics
Not referencing FB

The Myspace-ish pics is pretty broad and gives them an excuse to reject just about anything

Age out are not new but not being allowed to say "older men" I think is new.

I think the "older" ads are still a gray area. Unfortunately Facebook specifically told us we are not allowed to run those ads any more.

Yep and on that note my FB advertising account just got banned today. Should I just say screw it and go PPV or should I use a new credit card on one of my other (spy) FB accounts?

Is FB even worth it any more with all these restrictions. My Affiliate manager over at Ads4Dough got his account banned a few months back and he said he was done.

...Sigh my life is over.

adapt or die.

if fb was a huge profit source for you, then sign back up and start over.

if not, move on

^^ dont make it hard on yourself, just do it.

Are age and state callouts allowed in the ad body?

I can understand all restrictions, but I can't »NO Body part pics« WTF? 90% of all dating images on Facebook are Face images. Guess all those advertisers are breaking TOS then?

I got new account, even thou my old isn’t banned and after some warm up period I’m going to rape them to death with dating ads. Enjoy it while it last.
