    All this verification and banning business of late has really put me off Facebook! :( Although I have got my account back up and running, I constantly feel nervous about hitting the like button or even commenting on my own timeline or chatting to a friend for the fear of seeing another warning! It has really put a dampener on entering comps on there!


    I agree. Even though i haven't been affected so far!
    I just worry cos i only have the one account and i put all my photos on there and use it to chat to family etc x I don't see what right they have to ban us when its such a personal thing!
    If they don't want like and share comps going on then its the companies they need to be firm with, not us!
    :starmod: May all your wishes come true! :starmod:

    I felt a tad nervous this morning when I went on and it had auto logged me out again! I'm scared to even like friend's comments now let alone sharing the odd news story which I did.

    Wondering whether to change my password again, feel bit nervous with all the potential hacking rumours, think FB should have put out an official notice, like the ones that come up on the top of the page, to confirm all this was a legit check this week.

    I was just wandering how you were all notified of your ban? Its just i keep getting emails claiming to be from facebook support, i have had them every day for a week or two (can't remember) but they seem to have funny email addresses! If i open the email it says Your Facebook profile can not be used. And to clicky buttons, one saying view notifications, and the other saying go to facebook. I haven't clicked on any of the emails as i don't trust them, but my facebook has not been affected at all (so far) x

    Just spam - maybe they are taking advantage of the problems this week?

    I had one too but was sent to my main email addy not my email linked to my fb account.
  • Yey Im on too. Bit nervous, but hey ho.

    Im not sharing anything now and only entering the rest of my dailies that are still running. Might stay away from other FB comps for a bit longer.

    Well Done Keeley :D

    I think it was some sort of bug. They are updating the news feed real soon and my money's on them cocking something with tagged photos.

    Great news all that are back :D

    I have failed the photo verification thingy at least 10 times. I had pretty much given up, logged back in to try one more time just now and it seems I am unbanned, logged in straight away, nothing about it being a fraudulent account.

    We are not all back. Some of us (me included) have still not been able to verify photos to log in.
