Hi all,
I've just set up a new FB account for comping, because I was royally annoying people with my comping action. I have no friends on my new FB :( and I wondered if there's a special place where compers share their FBs and friend each other? I've checked the stickies but possibly not very well!
Thanks,
Woody

    You'll probably get both accounts closed down by Facebook as you are only allowed one! Sorry!

    not true bluebella

    i currently have 3 accounts running - one for comping , a normal one and another that i've forgot the log on too. As long as they are seperate email addresses you can have as many as you like.

    I have heard that Facebook can track you by your IP address? I have one only and wouldn't take a chance of opening another - just to have them both closed down! I suppose what others choose to do is their business.

    I'm still running about 5 years after setting mine up - i've only ever been banned due to the nature of what i say, not what i do.
    If that happens i just set up another

    If your account gets closed many companies cannot notify you if you win so you lose out in the end. Then all the comps you have entered using that account have been a waste of time entering whether you open another account or not!

    It's a risk you take as it is against Facebook rules to have more than one account so if you get caught or someone reports you then you may end up with no Facebook accounts as has happened to various other people.

    Also if you set one up just for comping and all your posts are just likes and shares with no other interaction you also run the risk of getting it closed down.

    You can create as many facebook profiles as you want as long as they are different email addresses and not banned addresses. Liking and sharing pages isn't against FB terms so i very much doubt anyone would get their account closed from that.

    But then if you create loads of accounts then you will be accused of cheating as well as being reported and closed down! Is it really worth it!?

    Not if you only have 2

    my friends would be royally peeved if i kept sending requests and sharing pages.

    just use another name for an account if it's so bad - set up a gmail account and link to that .

    But if you're all so worried about FB closing down accounts, probably not best to bother,
