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.

Done it too!

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

I only have one facebook account. It is my real name (well a shortened version of it - Maggie rather than Margaret). I do not use it to keep in touch with people I know in real life, nor do I post holiday snaps etc. on it. I used to use it solely for comping, but after reading other people's suggestions, I also do things like play games on my phone and post my score to facebook. I do (or did when I could use it) interact with other compers, for example on the Swindon, Bath and Bristol Compers group and the Pinterest compers group.

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...?

My account is active all the time with stuff other than competition Like and Shares. I am always posting status updates and commenting on peoples posts and pictures. I use chat a lot. I had over 1200 personal photos on there. I say 'had' because I have now deleted them all. I have had this account for over 4 years and after this I shall not be using it like I using it for personal things any more.

Afternoon guys, I see were in the same boat again today and nothing has been done, no reply to my emails either :mad:

Its let me use apps again today but for how long. A lot of the smaller companies don't seem to be happy about losing likers from what ive read on my timeline this morning. I saw a whisper that someone was gathering up info to send it on to the press.

See that's what I thought.

I don't think its because of likes and shares or activity usage.

I'm not sure what it is, I'd hate to think someone is just clicking 'report spam' on their news feeds, but it may be if its 'friends of friends' (bug bare of mine, why is that function on there I don't know! - stalker heaven!!).

You gotta love some of the "Features" that Facebook have. It always has been a privacy nightmare on there and the way it is heading, its getting a lot worse.

It may not even be just one thing they are reviewing to ban people. It maybe a number of things like people hitting the spam button as well as to many Likes & Shares....Its possible they are doing a sweep using numerous criteria. Whatever that are doing its causing a lot of hassle.

It's all fun and games til someone loses their Facebook account :rotfl:

I'm beginning to think it is someone that's gone a reporting spree, there's still people active with MSE in their name so cant be that, there's a few compers I'm friends with that must like and share all day and they are still fine and are sharing away as we speak! But then it just doesn't add up. I probably win about 3 times a year so why would they report me, why not report the ones winning all the time. It doesn't make sense.

Us compers probably fill our walls up a bit, but why arent they picking on say the normal people that arent compers that play games all day as well as I suppose the games are a bit spammy as well and fill the walls up. I just wish someone from FB would enlighten us

I was wondering if it was some sort of people attacking us with reporting a load of us, but I couldn't find any evidence like an online forum with a load of people having a laugh at us and this thread. So not sure.

Its very strange that its a group of us all with the same friends etc.

Judging by the couple of links in this thread to stories about it, its been going on since Jan, but its just reached us now.

Wonder what will happen in the end. Im waiting to see if it all blows over for a bit first before I try to go back onto FB. If I go back onto FB of course. Ive never won from it so I dont think it will make a huge difference.

I have no friends on my Facebook account from MSE. But the competition's I have liked and shared on there, I have always made public as this seemed to be required for some of them. So I just did it for all. In which case I guess anyone could mark them as spam.

Good point regarding friends

It really is random. I dont share many comps at all, the odd one or two, but they are all app comps
