I'm responsible for ICT at FOS Open Scouting, a belgian scouting organisation.

Our website was hacked a few years back and blocked by Facebook as a result. After we regained control over the site Facebook continued to block our domain and this is causing us a number of problems.

We have tried many times in the past year to contact Facebook using their 'I am blocked from adding content' form (https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=block_appeal) to no avail.

The blocked URLs are: http://www.fos.be and http://www.fosopenscouting.be

Does anyone know how we should/could proceed?

This is a 3rd party developer site. We developers have no relation with Facebook other than we use their public APIs. Maybe you should contact Facebook by telephone. – DMCS Jan 24 at 12:03

Getting a response out of facebook seems to be very difficult indeed. I would post your question in the facebook developers area perhaps that group may have some better ideas on how to get through.

Otherwise have you considered changing your primary domain?

At the moment both your URLs end up at fos.be. You could purchase a new domain and point your two old URLs to it - hopefully this would get you around the issue without dropping your traffic or ranking so long as you use a 301 redirect.

This could work, we wanted to do this with our second domain but then we noticed that Facebook had already blocked that one. – Thomas Crepain Jan 24 at 13:26
The Facebook developers area takes you to facebook.stackexchange.com, which is where this question was originally posted. – paulmorriss Jan 24 at 14:04
@paulmorriss the link is to developers.facebook.com so I don't see how that is possible and the question came from stackoverflow. – toomanyairmiles Jan 24 at 14:09

developers.facebook.com -> developers.facebook.com/support -> Technical Q&A facebook.stackoverflow.com (which is a pseudo-site displaying everything on stackoverflow.com with a facebook tag) – paulmorriss Jan 24 at 14:12

Someone seems to have divided by zero. – Tchalvak Jan 24 at 16:35
