Hello,

No in general this should not be considered against the rules. Please review Facebook's guidelines for groups to find out more.

Hi Daniel,

I had previously read Facebook's Guidelines and I read many issues relating to issues that I believe that because my daughter and myself were named are against their Community Standards that would make it illegal and that is why I asked the question.

Please refer to: https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/introduction

I know that the creator of the Group "has it in" for my daughter and myself due to a recent occurrence which involves the Police where we are Administrators of a group that he does not like certain issues that happened within that group, hence our names are mentioned in the group that he has created which is in a small country town.

He made a comment:  "Lets remember were talking about one of the most disliked men in town".

Have you now changed your thoughts?
