Facebook comments moderation, appid or facebook page?

I'm looking to add Facebook comments to certain pages of our website.
I understand that I can do this by just generating the code for each page I want comments on by using the generator here... http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/

But to enable moderation of comments I think I need to do either of these in the head section of my site:
<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_FACEBOOK_USER_ID}"/>
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APPLICATION_ID}">

And also add some namespaces to the <html> tag.

The application ID method seems better than user ID for moderating a large number of comment pages. At the moment I have a Facebook "Page" with 1,000 or so "Likes". I don't have a Facebook application.

So here's my questions:

Do I need to create a Facebook Application in addition to my Page?
Or can I use the Facebook Page ID instead of the App ID?
Does the name of the Application need to match that of my Facebook Page?
Is any link created between the Facebook Application and the Page?
Or is the application purely for internal purposes and not accessible by users?

I don't want this to be Javascript. Iframes seems like a better solution so the comments load asymmetrically. JS can block the page load.

Cheers, B

Can Facebook comments be moderated?

Click your Page photo at the top right, then click Settings & Privacy. Click Settings, then in the left menu, click Privacy. In the left menu, click Public Posts. In the Moderation section, go to Hide comments containing certain words from your Page, then click Edit.

Why Facebook restrict my comments?

I'm blocked from doing something on Facebook, like posting, sharing or commenting. We may block people from doing something on Facebook when: Something you posted or shared seems suspicious or abusive to our security systems. Messages or friend requests you sent were marked unwelcome.

How do I change who I am commenting as on Facebook?

As shown below, click on your profile icon in the lower right corner with a little dropdown arrow next to the comment field. Select the name of the profile you want to comment as and write your comment.

Any time you make an application that will use facebook you need to make a facebook application on their developers website. Pages are different from applications. The only thing that I ever use a page Id for is likes, thought there are other uses for them

Your application does not need to match the page, but you may want to

A) Make it a tab of that page

B) Disable Stream post URL security on the developers page (better for you I think)
