    Retweeted will retweet again later, lets hope twitter don't start banning people for retweeting spam lol

    I think they put you in 'twitter jail' for retweeting the same hathtag too often (as they think you're spam) but I believe its not for long :)

    I just got the following after verifying my account twice with the correct id and a phone number:

    Hi,

    We need to verify your identity before we can take any action on this account.

    If you don't have a government-issued photo ID, please reply to this email and attach pictures of at least TWO documents that are from a formal organization (ex: business, school) and combined show your full name, birthday and picture.

    Documents we accept:

    - School or work ID
    - Library card
    - Utility bill
    - Credit card (with the number covered)
    - Birth certificate

    Documents we do not accept:

    - Profile pictures
    - Personal photos
    - Resumes
    - School curriculum

    Before you send us anything, cover any personal information (ex: address) that we don't need. We also recommend sending your attachments over a secure connection. Find out more here: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=148993491850191.

    Once we receive a clear image of your IDs, we'll reevaluate the status of your account.

    Thanks,

    Erik

    Instagram, Facebook Asks for Photo ID Verification of Accounts

    01/28/2013


    Some users have been reporting over the course of the past week that they have been locked out of social sharing sites Instagram and Facebook, both owned by Facebook, and that the only way to regain control of those accounts would be to upload a picture of a photo ID. However, it’s unclear what photo IDs are being accepted, and those who submit a rejected photo ID are then required to submit a birth certificate to verify their identity.

    At first, these users were concerned that the verification may be a scam by a hacker at an attempt to steal identity known as identity theft. However, it appears that these verification requests are legitimate and are originating from Facebook.

    According to the social network, these ID verification checks are done to ensure that users are not violating the terms of service agreement.

    This artical is pish! I use my real name, I verified 5 times then suddenly got a ban for 30 days for no reason - I had not been on FB all afternoon! So have just randomly picked on people so they can state they have cleared out 1000s of fake accounts!

    Although I am still on my "30 day ban" (although that could be up to about a year judging by the amount of messages I got telling me this :rotfl:) they have stopped logging me out and asking me to enter a captcha code. I have been logged in for around 12 hours now, which is the longest I have been kept logged in since all this started happening.

    Just go down their wall and report all the l&s posts as spam :D

    I've been doing this - do they need to have a certain number of people report something before facebook look at it?
