Thanks, Susan – I was wondering if that was the issue, but hadn’t had time to check it.

Lorraine – Glad it worked for you. And glad to see that this issue is finally resolved! – Jeff

I found it. You just have to have more than one admin to have the “remove” option show up.

Yann – The issue with Pages was not that customers could read your personal profile, but that Pages were not transferrable from the owner. The issue of personal profile connection is with Groups. I made one originally before their were Pages, but cannot use it anymore since everything is connected to my personal profile. Now that The Page issue is better, I may disband the groups and ask that they join a new Page I can now build.

Guys,
I have removed myself as an admin from my Pages. My clients are pleased. Hope you guys are able to do so too. Good luck!

Thanks for the post, I guess we’ll have to wait a little longer until this is possible.

My individual account is really personal as opposed to the company page. I don’t really want my customers to ‘overread’ what I say when I’m mucking about with my friends.

Well, it isn’t giving me that option on my page yet. And I can’t find anything in their help yet. Does anyone know anything about roll-out since it wasn’t in that article?

Great news on this issue. Creators can now be deleted by page admins.

I was able to create a new page with the exact same name as the old page, so I’m just going to delete the old page. This will be an inconvenience for my fans, but I have not found an alternative.

Danica, I say take delete it all off of FB, so the ties back to you are no longer there. If you want to be nice, let them set up a new page with a different credit card and inform all of the members to join that page by a certain date, after which you will be deleting the page. It is a real shame, but you need to protect your personal self.

Very sorry to hear that, Danica – Sounds like Facebook is making a bad situation worse. I’d actually forgotten about the fact that a credit card could be associated with the page. Ugh. – Jeff
