Don’t SHOUT in Facebook Ads

I was surprised today to see that one of the Facebook ads I had created for one of my Facebook Pages had been “Disapproved” with no specific reason given.

This ad has been disabled and should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with the specific violations that have been deemed abusive. Please review our Terms of Service and Advertising Guidelines if you have further questions.
