Facebook Rules from Facebook to You

Directly from Facebook

Cover Photo Rules

All covers are public. This means that anyone who visits your Page will be able to see your cover. Covers can't be deceptive, misleading, or infringe on anyone else's copyright. You may not encourage people to upload your cover to their personal timelines.
Covers may not include:
i.    price or purchase information, such as "40% off" or "Download it on socialmusic.com";
ii.    contact information such as a website address, email, mailing address, or information that should go in your Page's "About" section;
iii.    references to Facebook features or actions, such as "Like" or "Share" or an arrow pointing from the cover photo to any of these features; or
iv.    calls to action, such as "Get it now" or "Tell your friends."
 
PROMOTION RULES
You must not condition registration or entry upon the user taking any action using any Facebook features or functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place, or connecting to your app. For example, you must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall.
 
You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism.
For example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant.
 
You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion.
 
You must not notify winners through Facebook, such as through Facebook messages, chat, or posts on profiles (timelines) or Pages.
    Definitions:
a.    By “administration” we mean the operation of any element of the promotion, such as collecting entries, conducting a drawing, judging entries, or notifying winners.
b.    By “communication” we mean promoting, advertising or referencing a promotion in any way on Facebook, e.g., in ads, on a Page, or in a Wall post.

Yep, Facebook has a lot of rules but then pretty much every site does so we all just have to go with the flow and adapt the changes as they come. This are some interesting rules though. <dl class="view-data-comment"> <dd> &nbsp; &nbsp; Facebook seems to have a lot of <a href="http://www.casinodrawing.com/2012-05-trusted-software-names.html">software names</a> that people are not that up to date on but with everything changing so much it is hard to keep up with. </dd> </dl>
Facebook introduction of new timeline and cover image rules are really interesting and while accepting the changes, we should also accept the rules with them. <br> <a href="http://www.aquagear.com/ladies-swim-caps/">womens swimming caps</a>
