That does suck if you can't send messages...

How very strange :huh:

I had a message notification for my message from Mari (which went to others), but for your message which went to inbox, I had nothing.
I received the message, but only because I went into inbox to check properly after seeing your post above. I had no notification whatsoever for it.
Weird.

Totally sucks!

That usually happens when FB think you have been spamming eg writing liked and shared on too many comps in a short space of time, i think they lift that restriction after about 48 hrs.

I used to help manage a FB account for someone who was on Big Brother, and had to message fans the same message and got restricted a few times for spamming

I don't understand why there is nothing in the press - if 1000s have lost their accounts surely there must be compaints all over????

Gimme my freaking stuff back :mad:

Might be worth posting this on L&S comps, with a friendly suggestion that they host comps on their own websites/twitter...

Good news guys, it seems that Facebook have done a bit of a cull on 'fake' accounts this last couple of days and we reckon 180 or so were recognised on our own page (now removed). This is good for you genuine guys as it means you have a far greater statistical chance of winning our weekly comps (assuming you enter). This is this weeks comp (48 hours left to enter):

Yes, if anyone who can post could put this company right - ie tell them that many of their innocent fans have been included in this cull - that might be helpful! I cannot post on FB as I'm banned!

If you used to work for FB do you not have any old contacts that you could ask what is going on?

We need someone who can still post to post on all like and share comp pages that this has happened, any volunteers?

Ps if you go to your account settings on top left you can see your fb email address, i was able to message myself to see if was working.
