    Oh dear! No, I have been blocked in the past and had to ride it out! There is no way of contacting Facebah-humbug direct. Have you been doing many likes and shares?

    Facebook must know that companies will be running Advent comps - it is the companies they should be telling off for running the L&S. I have been doing some L&S but only for decent prizes. The majority are daily apps. Facebook are flamin' scrooges!

    I created a new account using a new email address when this happened to me. Or at least I would have done if Facebook didn't forbid such behaviour :-) I've taken a bit more care about what I've shared since, cancelling the shares that most comps prompt you to share that aren't actually necessary to enter the comp.

    I did get warning signs of being forced to log-in using a captcha code prior to the ban, just didn't realise at the time how imminent that meant a ban was :-)

    My way is never to enter a L&S comp.There are plenty of others on here to keep me busy.I have never had any FB issue by entering just via FB Apps.

    I would advise that you are very careful as having two Fb accounts may mean that you lose both if FB become aware of the second account.

    Yes, I've cut right down - if the prize is worth sharing I will but I am not risking a ban by sharing to win a bottle of shampoo!

    I've noticed an increase in 'like and comment' comps recently..so maybe the message is getting through about sharing and the FB rule on L&S
