Instagram is awful to compers, it always flags us as spam bots and there's no way to talk to anyone from IG about it either! I'm currently on a 3 day ban too from commenting on a a different competition post, they really need to sort it out.BoeingAirbus said:i just got banned from instagram for giving the answer " bedroom " for which room in house i would put the item ! their technology thinks its spam, i appealed and got let back after submitting a code sent to phone, i then try to comment on the bmstores post to explain the issue and get banned from commenting by instagram for 3 days !!! if any1 can tell bmstores to contact instagram and fix their idiotic technology that would be greatI’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Competition Time, Shopping & Freebies and MoneySaving boards.
