Tweeters - use the hashtag #facebookban

Perhaps in order to encourage more people to get this hashtag trending, those of us who support the idea could change our signatures on MSE to incorporate something encouraging others to do so. If all of our signatures on any posts had it, other people that do not normally visit compers chat corner would see it.

could people not post the facebook pics they are struggling to identify on here for us to help? We could start a new thread?

Two problems with this that I can see. Firstly, I think that there is a time limit on doing it, so if I were to post a pic of someone with their dog, by the time someone had seen it, said "that is Fred Bloggs and his dog", then I would be out of time for that set of pictures.

Secondly, I don't think that MSE would encourage us to divulge information such as that on here. TBH, I am surprised that they even allow us to post links to our facebook names on here.

Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many times you can try the photo guessing game?

Only had a Facebook account for comping and had a few small wins but am not going to bother with it if it creates all this hassle and certainly not sending them "proof" that I'm a real person when they don't require it to open an account.

My comping facebook was blocked last week, Ive set another up since (still have my main one which I dont comp on) since then and only added my own main facebook as a contact and have been doing L&S comps all week on it, no ban or anything on this one. I would strongly urge against you all setting another up and then adding all the compers as friends again as I am convinced that my last one was taken down due to a someone flagging as spam.

Like I say this new one ive set up with only my own main account added to it is fine and dandy after entering umpteen more L&S comps.

Here's my tweet if you wanna do it fast and just hit the RT button

I am not sure if clicking the retweet button on a tweet with the hashtag in it actually counts towards getting it trending, or if you need to actually include the hashtag in your own tweet, (or at least C & P it).

What is this picture game thing people have been using instead? I emailed in my ID so waiting to see if that works.

Basically, one of the verification methods (and it is the only option I am being offered) is that facebook show you a set of three pictures and ask you is this friend A, B, C, D or E and you have to pick who it is. This might be easy if it is a picture of say your next door neighbour, but is no so easy if it is a snapshot of say a beach. You get about five pages of pictures, each with about six possible friends that it could be. Most of my pictures have been things like a bottle of perfume, or a pair of shoes. i.e. competition prizes that any of my "friends" might have entered.

For those that have been banned do you do other stuff on your account? comment on pages, status' upload images play the games?

I like and share a lot of stuff - not comps but images I find amusing or news stuff I find relevant to my friends but I only do about 2/3 at any one go.

I'm just now curious as to what the criteria is for you to be fake, as I'm sure many who have been banned don't just sit on facebook and like, share and tag about 15 different pages then log off??... or do they...?
