I've had 3 already this month on instagram (ranging from 16 to 22ish hours each time)-definitely due to the advents and slight increase in activity as i'd only had 1 ban in the previous 12 months. One of the drawbacks on comping on instagram.[COLOR="Px (urple"]Good luck for 2025 Comping! Be lucky! [/COLOR]My May 2025 Wins:2

I had temporary bans around 24 hours in the past but now it's more serious. I have been locked out for over a week despite going through the selfie with code and name on paper rigmarole and despite several follow up emails. I think it might be permanent this time. What annoys me is that they let companies run giveaways that encourage you to tag several friends, then they ban you when you do.2

Ditto, now locked out (disabled) on Instagram, no reply to disagreeing, and Facebook is getting twitchy too with tagging the same friends for the comps. They need to be told that there is a community (compers) responding to social media posts which uses these platforms in a way that is harmless but trips their algorithms.2

Still cannot tag or post .....Lets see what tomoz night brings.....:(
I agree with you there @pate-ci0 they really should have us as a community of compers, we are not spammers or bots...with so many accounts on Instagram allowing any amount of tags in our replies ( for comps ) why why why do Instagram ban people ...it really is so annoying, whats worse for me is that I have not even been told anything, just go to post and then add it all together...Its now over the 24 hours and still I cannot reply to anyone....I can still post from my account on my own page, just not on anyone else's
I have messaged Instagram and had no reply...what a useless company....they are owned by Facebook, so someone somewhere knows something!2011 & 2012 - Many Fantastic Prizes - thank you to all posters 2021 7 small prizes 2022 1 small clever pots win2023 £50 Yours Mag 2024 £100 Thats Life, book win, Thats Life Crime, June, £100 Codebreakers, December Elf The Musical tickets and an overnight stay in Newport 20251 -
"I can still post from my account on my own page, just not on anyone else's". Looks like they've gone easy on you.
I can't even log on to my account.
