Change Regarding Classifying Facebook Sweepstakes on SA

[sweepsadv]

As you may or may not be aware Facebook made a big rule change that prevents sweepstakes from requiring or forcing a like in order to enter a sweepstakes. Due to this Certain Facebook hosted sweepstakes can now be categorized by entry frequency.

Example: This sweepstakes does not require you to be logged in or have a Facebook account to enter. We put this in the one entry category based on their rules. https://www.facebook.com/Brueggers/app_533965126739984

*If a sweepstakes does require you to be logged into Facebook to enter this will always be categorized as Facebook sweeps. ( the best way to test this is always be logged off Facebook )

**Under this new format some Facebook sweepstakes could be categorized as daily, weekly, one entry, etc.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Just ran into 1 that is an issue {you must log into facebook to enter} & reclassified it to the FB category and noted in the comments:

Editors do not have time to enter/test every web page, so while we are transitioning to placing FB promos into entry frequency, we will rely on those reports to know which sites are not abiding by the new FB rules and will move them to the FB category, TIA for your help, fellow sweepers!

STANDARD response in COMMENTS when not reported via the Report Problem link;

As I noted - Editors do not have time to enter/test every web page, so while we are transitioning to placing FB promos into entry frequency, we will rely on SA'ers using the Report Problem link to know which sites are not abiding by the new FB rules and will move them to the FB category, TIA for your help, fellow sweepers!

Use Report Problem link *only* if FB login Rq'd

Facebook {FB} platform does NOT automatically = FB category. Comments do NOT automatically = modified/updated listing.
