    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! :D

    I don't do that many FB comps compared to some, and I rarely win on there, maybe once every 3-4 months but every big win I have had has been via FB!
    Not had the 30 day ban YET, tried to log in twice today and it says wrong password although I know 100% it is the right one so am going to leave it for a couple of days
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    Right i haven't entered any new FB comps since i had to verify my account via text on Monday then again on Tuesday, everything has seemed fine on the account since so going to test the water and see if things have calmed down.

    Might even try a few likes and shares going to take it slow though.
    Will keep you posted.

    Wish me luck peeps if i don't report back in a hour call the cops and say i have been kidnapped by the spam squad :)

    Well I finally got back on at lunchtime after playing guess who is in the photo since yesterday! It's very difficult identifying someone masquerading as a handbag!!!

    I've now deleted all tags and photos and just left my profile picture on to help anyone who is asked to id me in pictures!

    Hope it won't be too long before everyone is back on!!
  • My pleasure ;)

  • To be entirely honest, I think the system was designed specifically to ensure that either idiotic teenagers sharing and tagging everything that moves, or compers, can't use Facebook. The sheer idiocy of including any photo someone is tagged in and not... perhaps a stroke of genius, their profile picture?
