Heads up, compers! In order to investigate a technical issue, we've had to move some of the older threads from Game Over into a new category called 'Game Over Archives'. It'll be comps from before 2017, so shouldn't have too much impact on your day-to-day Forum experience. Thanks for your patience!
Instagram restrictions

Hi I'm new to instagram I've joined for the comps. There was a competition that asked you to comment a cash bundle emoji a few times and on the 3 previous posts. As I did that a message popped up and said we restrict activity to protect the community try again later.... I've tried a few hours later and it just says "cannot post, please try later" I can "like" and share and follow I just can't comment? I haven't received any notification of a ban. Any idea how long this will last? Or who I contact? I've looked on Google send it says click appeal or the tell us button but I don't have a ban note with this on? Thanks in advance. I'll stay away from the emoji comps xx

If you have access to a computer as well as your phone, sometimes it lets you do one thing on one but not the other.
Bans are often 24 hours, but they don't tend to notify you when it is finished.
To try and avoid bans, instead of just tagging friends, I tag them and write something or tag them and add a different emoji.
If the competition tells you to leave a few emojis that are the same, I'd put it and then a little comment or put it and then a heart or smiley face. (not sure if it makes a difference to your entry though! but it certainly stops or slows down bans) x
