Flamin' Instagram!

Thanks @ally86 that’s so useful and it makes sense. I’m sure my first ban said something about too many identical posts, or something like that. For me, I think I will pretty much ignore Inst for now. At some point, I will be ready to start posting photos from my business there, so that should help to keep it all in line with your suggestions. Hope others get to see your comments. I have a feeling it would be useful info to a number of our compers.

Cheers

I have a main account and a back up one (tried to close one down, but was blocked for a ridiculous amount of time, after 15 tags?) I can use one at the moment, the other I have not been able to like or follow for months.
Being aware that I would be blocked for my main account, I have tried the back up one and after 1 tag, literally 1, it was removed....
I have found that I can use my desktop and like stuff, tag etc  but not my phone? Bizarre and quite frankly I work full time in  an office and the last thing I want to do, is sit at yet another desk all night!! I think the death of instagram is coming in my house!!

Yeah, I feel that way too. I can't bring myself to use it, other than on a Raff, when you get entries for viewing a post. I wanted to start using it for my business, at some point. But if I can't trust them not to throw me out, I don't think I will bother. Bet they lose lots of users that way.

' Social media ' is far from it and odd to say the least ! I have been permanently banned from Instagram. All I have done whilst being on Insta is post about 10 wildlife photos ( to give the account a human touch ) and like and tag on posts as requested/desired by the post posters ! And then you read/hear in ' normal ' media how people on sites like Insta are bringing down Western civilisation,being foul/abusive and deceiving for financial gain and yet I ( and others it seems ) are banned for trying to enter competitions !

@nigelh66 sorry to read that. They are sooooo unfair in what they do. Did they not give you a chance to appeal? They did with me, although I had a lot of trouble doing that.


I still haven't used my Inst acc since they let me back in, because what's the point, if you don't feel secure there? The only thing I use it for is for Raff comps, where you get entries for visiting them on Inst or possibly liking them there.

You may be able to get another account using the same email address, although if you do, be prepared, I did that and got banned again without doing anything. Or try with a different email address, perhaps.
