A group called WNY Gardeners has been repeatedly flagged by the social network for “violating community standards,” when its more than 7,500 members discussed the long-handled bladed implement, which is spelled with an “e,” unlike the offensive term.
When one member commented “Push pull hoe!” on a post about preferred weeding tools, Facebook sent a notification that read, “We reviewed this comment and found it goes against our standards for harassment and bullying,” a moderator said.

Earlier this week our good friend Angel caught a 7 day suspension from Facebook after commenting on somebody else's post that we need to burn Austin to the ground and after the ashes have cooled, salt the earth.
She thought that was a little unfair so she requested a review. Facebook reviewed it, rescinded the 7 day suspension and gave her 30 days instead.
I'm having a lot of fun fucking with her about that.
