Hi folks, I received an email from Facebook saying that the FB app I’m using for social login is in violation of their incentive policies because Discourse rewards users with a badge for the first share, and this is against their policies on incentivizing users with rewards for actions other than t…

Hi there Robert, Yeah that’s just rubbish for your community :frowning: Unfortunately you are not the only one that has had this issue there has been previous topics such as the one below. I think Justin is spot on here. Just disable the badge. [תמונה] Facebook developer policy vi…

Thank you! I should have put more effort into the search before posting. This is very helpful!

Another option is likely to remove the Facebook sharing button, as that would remove the “incentivizing Facebook actions” part of it. To do this, remove “facebook” from the share links site setting.

Thank you. That certainly is another option, but I’d like to keep sharing to and from Facebook as features of our platform. Facebook would be a good channel to bring more people into our community hub, so making it more complicated for people to share to FB would hurt our outreach capacity.

It’s interesting that on mobile there is no such thing as a “Share to Facebook” button, as we just call the browser share API, which call the OS share function that will present all share targets installed on the user device.

Do you have any idea if sharing using the share API on the mobile view will still trigger the badge reward?

Yes it will. The badge uses a simple query parameter in the url.

As far as you’re aware, is there any way to disable the share badge for specific share destinations (facebook), or should I just disable the badge entirely?

No, there is no way to disable the badge for a single destination out of the box. That said you can write, or commission on the marketplace , a theme-component that removes the ?u=username part from the URL when the Facebook button is clicked.

That is an interesting idea, thank you. I could potentially write that theme-component at some point. I have until the end of the day to address this so facebook don’t disable my app, so I will have to remove the badge for now and then maybe add it back later once I publish a theme-component to help…
