"We limit how often you can do certain things on Instagram to protect our community". Tell us if you think that we've made a mistake. Happening on almost every comp I enter on IG and even on the first comment. I keep reporting it but it doesnt help.

    How many people are you tagging on average?
  • Only one at the moment it doesn’t let me comment more than once if that. Generally, I don’t tag a lot of peoplein one comp as the more you tag the more that enter and the more you limit your own chances of winning so it’s a counterproductive. I am certainly not spamming.

    If it's the same person you're tagging each time it could be that? That's just a guess though, social media has weird algorithms

    Sometimes adding a picture to your profile page makes you look more human and so less likely to be picked up by their algorithms. If you haven't added one for a while, it might help.
    At least they're giving a bit of warning now. My active account of many years got shut without warning last year, and even though I appealed, I never got it back  :/

    I had it for the first time last week but nothing since. What I do is use the space bar to add a few spaces after the tag. That way it makes it look like you are typing something else and seems to work for me on Facebook so hoping it will do the same on IG.

    Oh thank you very much. I will try that.
