Let's UNBAN the Stogie from Facebook


Facebook has permanently banned any links to the Ybor City Stogie. If you enter the Stogie URL in any Facebook post or comment, or try to share one of our articles to Facebook, you will get a message that reads "Your message couldn't be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive." We don't know who or why anyone would have reported the Stogie blog as being abusive but we're asking our readers to contest Facebook's unfair ban. If enough people do this, perhaps Facebook will take the time to review the Stogie blog and reverse their decision to ban it.

To contest the Facebook ban, do the following:
  1. Go to the Facebook debug page HERE.
  2. In the edit box there, type in (or copy/paste) the following website address: https://yborcitystogie.blogspot.com and click on the  DeBug  button to the right of the edit box.
  3. You will get a warning that reads "We can't review this website because the content doesn't meet our Community Standards. If you think this is a mistake, please let us know."
  4. Click on the words let us know.
  5. On the next page, in the box titled "Please explain why you think this was an error", tell Facebook why you believe that Facebook was in error by banning the Ybor City Stogie. Something as simple as "I am certain this website does not violate Facebook's Community Standards" might be enough. The number of people contesting their decision matters most.
  6. Click the  Send  button on this page.

Please take a moment to help the Ybor City Stogie reverse the unfair ban by Facebook.
