  • And this is why i've always harped on about having more than one account and always said that you won't be banned if you have more than one FB profile

    I can still like and share on FB , increased chance for winning, i'll take that

    Pattern Recognition

    New advances in our pattern recognition technologies helped us halt many of the major exchanges that promote fake like activity on Facebook originating from click farms, fake accounts, and malware. When we see suspicious patterns of likes coming from or to a specific account, we throughly investigate the situation in order to determine whether there is fraudulent activity taking place.

    This work has made it extremely difficult for the people selling fraudulent likes to actually deliver their promised likes to paying customers. In fact, over the the last six months, we've tripled the number of likes we've detected and blocked before they ever reached a Page. Because of this effort, a large number of the vendors that were attempting to sell inauthentic likes to Facebook Page administrators have closed their businesses.


    So maybe they think we are selling fake likes?

    I've only been here for two and a half years - haven't got my green card yet. I'm still struggling with the language - but agree re 'God's land'. We love it :)
    Glad the suffragettes didn't take no for an answer. It is a slight on my character to ban me without any redress of a real appeal because I do not know the charges against me. Point of principle is at stake here.

    You are right, of course. But I've learned (actually that's not true, I'm still trying to learn it) to choose my battles to fight, in life. This one isn't worth too much of a fight because:

    A) It's not that important. It is an important principle about how to treat people, but a ban from FB doesn't really compare to the cause of equal rights.

    B) They won't listen. They're a faceless company, who know that they have us by the short and straights (not everyone's are curly). At the moment FB are king of their domain, and can get away with a lot. As someone else said, we don't pay to subscribe, and if we don't like it, we can always leave. That would be their attitude, I'm sure - and they'd be right too :(

    This was very interesting, thanks. Makes me feel a little better about the thing. If we're caught in the net that they set up to weed out scammers, then perhaps it's worth it?
