[Air-L] How to recruit without spamming?

[Tom Hale]

Hi everyone, can anyone advise me about how to recruit research
participants from particular Facebook pages or Twitter threads without
spamming? I just got a Research Page I created on Facebook unpublished
after two comments I posted included a standard blurb inviting research
participants, that was approved by my IRB, and two replies in a thread were
very similar because I wanted both participants in that thread to be
research participants. Not sure which of these two repetitions violated
FB's policy against "repeating the same comment"--probably the two replies
that were almost identical (I note that Twitter has a similar policy).
But I can't figure out how to avoid the repetition and stay within my IRB
requirements, because unless I've misunderstood, they require me to have a
standard invitation that they approve ...

Any advice much appreciated!
