Nixle: Moderating and Disabling Nixle Web Message Facebook Comments

Question:

How does commenting work?

How can I remove a specific comment from a Nixle web message?

How can I disable the commenting feature to prevent anyone from doing so?

Answer:

NOTE:
  • Nixle Support can moderate only the comments posted on the web link message of a publication.
  • Comments which appear on your agency's Facebook posts can be moderated only by your Facebook account administrator.

By default, comments are enabled for users to comment on web messages that are published by your agency once Facebook posting permissions have been granted.

Also Post On FB Checkbox
  • A comment can be posted on a web message by entering text in the text box and choosing Post.
  • If the checkbox next to Also post on Facebook is selected, the comment will post on the user's Facebook profile, but not on the original post shared by your agency.
