    Has anyone had their 30 day ban lifted before the 30 days is up?

    I can still do app comps as long as I've liked the page previously, but it's annoying not being able to like new pages. I've seen compers with thousands of liked pages and they haven't been blocked - I've only got 500!

    Yup, mine lasted three days then was lifted, and without me even contacting FB or anything.

    I'm more surprised that they've managed to get a response from Facebook, nobody else seems to be having any joy with that.

    I do not believe any company has been in touch with fb to verify that they are running their competition correctly (especially if it's a smaller company and they seem to be the ones that love the l&s comps.)

    I might be wrong, but from what i've seen/read, it's somewhat impossible to contact facebook. Imagine how many emails or telephone calls they'd get?

    If anyone does know how to contact fb directly though, i'd genuinely like to know.

    You can't contact fb directly - there's the report functions and an email address to send i.d into and thats it. They don't have a monitored customer service number or email address because it would just be too overwhelming to staff it.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    I bet the company is lying - which one was it?
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • Two messages today - first from Cash Shop

    Hi Caroline, Thank you for the information we were unaware of this so we are going to wrap up the competition and announce the winner. Many Thanks


    Secondly from LinenMe

    Hi Caroline, Thank you for your message and concerns. You can enter this contest on our webpage. http://www.linenme.com/win-monthly-prize
    Regards,
    Inga



    There was even a smiley face at the end of the Cash Shop message :D

    However, the vast majority of my FB friends are continuing to like and share even after bans! I am annoyed that I am ruling myself out winning any of these comps by not entering on principle but, then again, I never win on L/S comps anyway -unless there is some effort involved in the comment section.

    I'm starting to wonder if this is a futile exercise condering the sheer amount of L/S competitions and people entering them.

    It was Bakeware Studio that said they'd been in contact with Facebook and skates.co.uk that said they were within Facebook rules
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
