I plan on being very busy tomorrow as there are lots of lovely regular comps so I'm going to contact every one of them to let them know what's happening so this can be avoided in the future
Just be careful you don't get a ban for spamming because who know's how their system works any more. Sending too many messages at once? Saying the same thing multiple times to different people? The mind boggles.MSE Comping Since August 20110 -

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!!).
My own experience says it has to be this unfortunately...unless I get banned again soon on my new one :rotfl:Started Comping Feb2013 (thank you to all the contributors on here)

What's worse, they keep suggesting pages that have competitions on!
:j Now when I see any 'suggested pages' posted by Facebook on my timeline, I report the post as spam :j They don't like me sharing - well I don't like them sharing either - so there!!! stamp stamp!!! Hopefully Facebook (or should I say '2Facedbook') might get a ban for spamming me :rotfl::TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
I thought as I didn't use FB much I had got away with it, late Tuesday night got the verification photo thing, got through that no problem as most were family photo's. Started the mag dailies after 5 shares got booted again, passed the text verification.
Last 2 days not entered any comps, but took 7 hours to log on yesterday as it kept saying password was wrong, managed to log in and was private messaging a friend and got booted again, and can't get back in as it says wrong password.
OH has account for comping, since 2011 has entered maybe 50 comps in total in all that time, so not a prolific user, has done 5 like & shares in total, and all done in 2012. Had not used his account in a month, but as I can't get in asked him to do the FB comps as I couldn't, he got booted as a fake after trying to enter 1st comp!I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

I think this is all so random - some victims are 1 account holders (like myself), some have 2 accounts, some do loads of L&S, some don't, some use their accounts every day, some hardly ever (like your OH, becky), some are compers, some are not, some are gamers, some are not - I don't think there is one significant trait that all the victims share - I just think FB have gone on a mass spree to delete loads of accounts and all sorts of people have been caught up and it is the innocent victims that I feel sorry for.
Luckily I still have my account but I am on a 30 day ban. At least I can continue to enter the rafflecopters etc. When my ban is over I am not going to do any more L&S comps whatsoever as I just know that the first share I make, I will get another ban! I am not going to risk it! I will just chat with friends and do app comps and hopefully I will stay 'safe'.
All of this has really put me off facebook though - I know Google+ never really took off but I hope and wish something better than facebook can be created - and when it does it will be two fingers up to facebook and away I will go!:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -

*touch wood* facebook seems to have settled back down for me, but today IT unfriended one of my friends and me (both ways), now that's not very friendly eh :rotfl:and IT didn't make it very easy to become friends again either#StaySafeWishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year0

Plus, I have also heard people talking about the changes Facebook are making and one of those changes is that once you have liked a page, you cannot unlike it! This will cause problems as Facebook have a limit at the moment so if you reach the limit, Facebook does not let you like any more pages until you have unliked some - so what will happen there!?
What annoys me with Facebook is they just decide that they will change things and they don't ask for our opinions or feedback - and it is us (the Facebook users) who keep them going! If we all leave, then Facebook would be no more! Facebook is supposed to be a social media - and all we are hit with is rules rules rules and we can never contact them direct and they never answer our queries or requests!:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
I know at the moment people add either 'Facebook App' or 'Facebook L&S' or 'Facebook Rafflecopter' when they post comps on the main board - well I think the 'Facebook L&S' should be changed to 'Facebook L&GB' - this stands for Like & Get Banned! LOL:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0
