Question about my facebook name

vanpopple

As above also quite a few posts on here about peoples acc getting blocked, and on winners circle and various other sites related and no related to comping.
I think as long as you are using your real name or a verson thereof eg.
'THOMAS HARRY BOBBINGS' could be ok as 'TomH Bob' but as
'ikkle87' says above you may then just have to prove to the comp or fb your true id (pointing out that it is your name just abbreviated etc...
and quite a few people do this if only for the simple fact if your name is quite a common name -'John Smith' there will prolly be hundreds of John Smiths on fb..

Good luck and dont worry too much as quite a few fb comps (espec the bigger prize comps) make you fill an entry form or a sweepstake form anyway so that then links your fb page to that comp, no matter if there are 50 people with the same name..

But when comping dont make too many comments per day and dont tag loads of photos because that will get your account blocked. i didnt realise if you post over 50 comms saying the same kind of thing they will first stop you commenting for 15 days, then if you continue after that they will block you)

Where is this written please?

Thats the trouble 'sue' it isnt an actual written rule,
Im just going on what fb said to my partner - she made around 50 comms just saying thank you & good luck to all.. (extract taken from 3rd link -''getting blocked for other reasons: i discovered the hard way that posting a similar comment on a number of pages repeatedly will also get you blocked).and posts on here and various other sites around the net there is quite a bit more info on di cokes blog -

Have a good read and judge what seems acceptable and what doesnt....
