How to Auto-Hide Spam Comments on Your Facebook Page
Keep your Facebook Page clean: auto-hide spam, scams, and toxic comments before your audience sees them, using the official API. Setup guide.

Spam and scam comments make a Page look neglected and can mislead your real audience. Hiding them one by one doesn't scale — especially on a post that takes off. Automated comment moderation hides the junk the moment it appears, so your comment sections stay clean without you refreshing the app all day.
What gets caught
- Obvious spam and scam links ("DM me to earn $$$").
- Words you add to a blocklist — competitor names, offensive terms, phishing bait.
- Toxic or abusive comments that hurt your community.
Hiding a comment keeps it visible to the person who wrote it (so they don't realize and repost) but hidden from everyone else — the cleanest way to moderate without drama.
How to set it up
- 1Connect your Facebook Page to Tendrify.
- 2Open Comment Shield and turn it on for the Page.
- 3Add blocklist words and enable auto-hide for spam and toxic comments.
- 4Review the flagged queue anytime to unhide or delete anything by hand.
Moderation that respects your reach
Comments are an engagement signal, so you don't want to hide genuine ones. Good moderation targets only spam, scams, and abuse — leaving real conversation (even criticism) in place. You stay in control: every action is logged, and you can reverse it.
Pair auto-hide with comment-to-DM: hide the junk, and automatically reply to the genuine keyword comments. Your Page stays clean and converts at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Does the commenter know they were hidden?
No. A hidden comment stays visible to its author but nobody else — so they don't notice and repost.
Can I hide by keyword?
Yes. Add words to a blocklist and any comment containing them is hidden automatically.
Is it reversible?
Yes. Every flagged comment sits in a queue where you can unhide or delete it manually.
