I come to you in this late hour after reading a blog post by Mike, the editor of The Lovecraft Zine. If you don’t know Mike, he’s a stellar individual. I’ve been very lucky; not only did he publish one of my short stories (“The Dig”) he’s been EXTREMELY supportive of all my other efforts as well. Folks like this are rare, indeed. Given how much small press publishers rely on social media these days, I hope this situation is rectified quickly.

Guys, I need help. Facebook has blacklisted parts of the Lovecraft eZine website; in other words, I can’t link to it to anything in the /chat portion of the site (and some other parts) from Facebook.

Lovecraft eZine IS a safe website. In fact, it is a wordpress.COM website — with wordpress.COM sites, you cannot even use Javascript. I don’t know if this happened because some jealous person reported the site, or what, but the only thing that will fix this is lots and lots of you reporting to FB that http://lovecraftzine.com/chat IS a safe site.

In addition, the Lovecraft eZine Facebook GROUP (the message board) has completely disappeared!
–SOURCE: PLEASE HELP: FACEBOOK IS BLACKLISTING “LOVECRAFT EZINE”

I’m sorry, but I don’t have any information other than this. I tried posting the blog post link on Facebook and it came through as “offensive.” The main website link was not blocked which confused me more than a little bit. I’ve sent my comments to Facebook that it’s a safe site across the board. Hopefully this is a big misunderstanding and Mike can resume your normally scheduled insanity quickly. If you’ve had to deal with Facebook before to get an issue resolved, I’m sure you can appreciate the need to have multiple voices verifying that you are who you say you are and your website is, in fact, safe.

Thank you!
🙂
