Facebook Page and group appeal templates

Write as the admin, attach proof and keep it about the Page.

Stuck? Skip the letters and send your case to people who do this every day.

Pages and groups are appealed by an admin, from the Page's own status area (Professional dashboard or Page quality), or for groups from the group's admin tools. Write as the admin, not as a fan of the page.

Page restricted or unpublished

Hello, I'm an admin of [Page name] ([link]). The Page was [restricted/unpublished] on [date] for [reason]. The Page represents [business/community] and the flagged post was [context]. We've removed it / we believe it follows the rules because [reason]. Please review. Thank you, [name]

Group suspended

Hello, I admin [group name], a group of [size description, no numbers needed] about [topic]. The group was suspended on [date]. Members posted [context]; we moderate posts with [membership questions / post approval]. Please restore the group. Thank you.

Page lost after admin was hacked

Hello, the admin account that controlled [Page] was hacked on [date] and the Page was removed from my access. I am the original owner; proof attached. Please restore my admin role.

A taken-over Page is a different problem from a restricted one. UnbanPro explains the Page admin hacked case.

Before you appeal a Page

Open Page quality or the Professional dashboard and note every flagged item.
Remove anything that really does break the rules. Reviewers check the current state.
Make sure at least two trusted admins have two-factor turned on.

Group admins: show you moderate

Groups get restored when admins show they're in control. Mention membership questions, post approval, admin rules and keyword alerts if you use them.

Questions people ask

Can a group member appeal for the group?

No. It has to be an admin or moderator.

What if the only admin was hacked?

Recover that profile first, then restore admin access. See our sister site's guide to business assets after a hack.
