    I have (had) two facebook accounts..one for comping, the other for about 30 really close friends.
    I think I got blocked on my comping one as it was *just* for comping? Weird though, as I did upload photos on it as well of my wins.
    I did have MSE in the name though.

    Anyway, Facebook loss, as well as the companies, as I only l & s what I really liked, and often brought stuff from the company in question.
    *Strugs*. At least twitter doesn't mind two accounts or what you use them for!
    Thank you all for making MSE so wonderful!

    I've had to do the security check process 4 times over the past 2 days. My conclusion is that it is definitely 'comping' related. In my house I have a FB account as do my 2 teenage children. Neither of my children have been affected.
    I know that you're probably all going to have an opinion on this, but I am one of *those* people who has an account for their cat! I never do anything untoward with the account, it's never used to comp - the only thing I ever did with it is post comedy statuses as if they were my cat! I've not done anything with the account for several months.... I just tried to log into it now...and there was no problem! So this is an account that is in effect a 'fake and not real' one yet it's free from security checks!!!!

    My own personal account which I have had for 6 years, has over 1200 photos and in excess of 450 friends. I regularly post 'normal' statuses, play games and interact in the standard way. Although I do occasionally enter 'like and share' comps - I keep it to the minimum as the majority of my friends aren't compers! I try to stick to 'apps' for comps..... so how on earth can Facebook think that it's not a real account?! STUPID!
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    So are people still doing rafflecopter ones? The ones that have already been entered using banned FB accounts?

    Yep, still doing all the Rafflecopters here. And luckily the daily entry on these are usually a Tweet. So not really losing out too much with the ones that we haven't Liked on the Facebook part of it.

    Check your IP by going to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and this will give you an idea where your current address is (or as it's seen)

    If you have FB on your mobile and are logged in then that would count as an additional login.

    Have taken to posting on on the posts that ask you to Like and share that this breaks FB gudelines, so please can they run it on an app? I've also said that many are getting banned simply by doing this.
    Perhaps if we all do it in our own words then they'll get the message?
    Worth a try ;)

    I've had to verify my identity rather than having my account banned - I don't so L&S any more & haven't for months so it's not that

  • Some are speculating that this has something to do with a Victoria's Secret (fake) comp last week that tagged everyone on people's friends list?

    When there were no verification methods left I went to this link:

    Not sure if a password change was necessary but it let me try the photos until I got them right (6 times).
