    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I won, I won, I won!
    maybe it was some sort of glitch?
    i have a normal facebook account, then my comping one.

    ive de-activated my comping one while this has been going on once i finally got through the tagging security check.
    Just worried if i start using both again, they may ban my normal account?

    any opinions or advice? xx :)

    I certainly would not take the risk. It is against FB rules to have two accounts. Is this not all part of what the problem is/was ie FB trying to weed out all these "fake" accounts?

    no explanation or apology from Facebook - but does that surprise us - no! still going to tread carefully and no L&s - I am going to pm any pages with a l&s comp to tell them they are breaking rules! I want the pages punished - not us!

  • I've tweeted them asking for an explanation but if you look at their Twitter feed they don't seem to Tweet so not counting on a reply. Fingers crossed it's all back to normal now.

    Me too Bella, I'll be pointing out L&S comps are against rules too.

    We got the result we wanted in the end, even if we did have to jump through hoops to get it. I am still not a happy chappy with them though. Like others I will be staying well clear of the Like and Share comps and focusing on the apps.

    It's not even the fact of what they have done, which is bad enough, but the lack of communication they have with their users. This is one of two things. Incompetence or just not caring. Either one is pretty bad.

    I only hope that those of you that are still stuck on the verification process manage to get past it.

    I was able to log on to my account as normal this morning without even going through the verification process. I have deleted all photos and tags and checked that I have a mobile phone no registered.
    Is there anything else I should be doing to clean up the account so it doesnt happen again?
    Wont be doing like and share or tagging comps from now on.

    I am still stuck on the verification process. Even with real photo's, I do not know enough of my facebook "friends" in real life to be able to match their photos. Only if the pictures that I am being shown match their avatars on here, or on twitter do I have a hope.

    It might help others like me, if you have a cartoon avatar on here or on twitter, if you could put a few photo's of that on your facebook photo album.

    I know I got one of the matches right this time, because I recognised a "friends" cartoon avatar in different versions on the facebook images I was offered.

    I think we should all pull together and tell all the companies running like and share companies that they are breaking the rules and causing us to get bans - the only way we can stop them is if we tell them we do not want to L&S for the fear of being banned. If compers keep liking and sharing their comps then they are not going to change the way they they do their comps. FB are obviously not doing anything about it - we are the ones being punished - WE NEED TO ALL TAKE A STAND!

    I wonder if we could change our profile pic to something that says ' BAN L&S COMPS!' or something like that???
