Creating a new Facebook for comping?

swindon87

What do you guys think about creating a new Facebook (separate from my personal Facebook) just for comping?

I'm expecting a baby in July 2016 and wanted to start doing baby competitions but I haven't told anyone I'm expecting as it too early and Facebook annoyingly posts what you comment and like onto the timeline's of other and I think some of my friends may start to get suspicious.

I have made a new Facebook, under a new name, just for comping, but I don't have any friends. I'm worried Facebook may think it's a spam account because I have verified the email but it still won't let me post comments on pictures yet. Has anyone else overcome this?

Thanks

Do they put your likes and comments on other peoples timelines? I thought it was only things that you share?

Yeah it does. Whatever you like or comment on e.g. a picture, it will come up on your friend's timeline. Plus you can't keep it hidden because it's automatically "public".

2 accounts is against FB rules, if they find out you could end up with both of them closed and if your second account is not in your real name you will struggle with any comps that ask for proof of ID.
While FB may not check much there are users who check "winners" details (especially for bigger prizes) and would certainly report you if they discovered it.

Unless Facebook have changed their rules, you can only have one account. I think some people have lost access to their main account once Facebook have realised they have two accounts, so it may not be worth the risk.

Yep they'll close both accounts down. They're pretty proficient at spotting it too

Oh I didn't realise I will be breaking the rules, I'll definitely close down the other account then. Thanks everyone x
