That's exactly the same message as I have been getting.

Hmm, I've not noticed any problems when I have been using my laptop, but I just opened my app on the phone and got a message saying 'try again' and stuff about violating terms. Not sure if stuff I am posting from laptop is going through or not as I don't get the message there.

I am now out of jail but not doing many comps..Hubby said to make a new account on Instagram incase they do it again, a pity as I was loving doing all the comps

But if you make a new account how will you find out if you win?

From my own experience of having temporary bans on commenting - the threshold before you get banned again is lower every time, so if you're finding it's happening multiple times a week you will cause it easier and easier by commenting.

You really have to reduce the number of comments you leave, maximum 30 a day, and also leave long enough in between them, like 5 minutes gap between comments. If you're entering one after the other very quickly, that's far more likely to cause you to get flagged

I will have the two accounts, my original one and a new one

I have only entered a few and only tagged 1 each for the comps where you need to tag
I am being very very careful, Instagram is all about commenting on peoples posts etc... silly bans if you ask me lol

And I am in Insta jail once again!!!!  I only posted 4 things and one of those was not a comp!!!
I am getting annoyed now !!!!
They never answer any issues either, useless company !!!

I am able to comment now after 4 days, no doubt I will enter a few and be banned again, 3rd time for me and each is a longer ban
