I have been using Facebook since 2009 and they have been getting worse and worse recently. I'm not exactly sure what is going on but if it wasn't for my Space-A groups, I would be done with them for good. In fact, if I can find a place to renew my Space-A groups elsewhere, I just might do that. In the last 2 months, Facebook has blocked me 3 times for what they say is a violation of Community Standards. They ask that I read the rules. I did. Nothing that I have been posting is in violation to the best of my knowledge. They never tell you exactly what it is so you can stop doing it or at least explain why you are doing it.
This last time is the worse. Actually, this evening I was supposed to be coming off my latest block. Late in the morning, after I had been using Facebook all that morning, I get another message from them for a security check because they still say I'm posting too much and that they have limited my posting. I have not been posting near as much in the past few days as I normally do. I also have not been doing anything that I have not been doing since 2009. It's hard for me to not post very much when I am an Administrator in over 300 different Groups, a member of several others and I have a few Facebook Pages that I started and follow a few more Pages. At least 90% of what I post is in my own groups and pages so I know that there is no one complaining about those. For the other 10%, I don't swear or send obscene pictures. I don't call people names or post any illicit material. I'm just at a loss as to the problem and, as I say, they never tell you what the problem is.
They wanted me to do a security check today, so I did. The first part was fine. On the second part they said they sent a code to my phone and I need to verify it. Okay, except that phone is no longer active. That's the only option they give you there. No alternate e-mail, no option to call, nothing.
I tried making a new account with another e-mail, and created it, but when my name came up on the account, it was the wrong name. I can't trust that. I tried it with my 3rd and last e-mail address, it came up with the same wrong name. To me, that means I probably have been hacked.
My account is blocked to where I am not allowed to post to ANY groups, not even my own. That's just totally ridiculous. When I try to post it tells me I'm blocked and ask if I think it's a mistake. I say yes. It goes to a screen to explain why you think it is. I do that and try to send it, it never works. The say they are having a problem and to try again later. I leave that tab up there and retry sending it all day and all night, it always says the same. I did this all 3 times I've been blocked and it's always the same. I did find a way to send them a message, but it really doesn't matter, they never answer anyway. I kept hoping that they would actually check the account like they say they will do, see their mistake and lift the block. Or at least send me an e-mail explaining exactly what the problem is. Nothing. Nada. Just their billion-dollar ego not caring about 1 little account.
In less than 2 years I was set to be the main Administrator for hundreds of Space-A Groups in Facebook. I'm just not sure that is going to happen now. If they think I post a lot now, wait until then. The main Administrator posts tons more than I do now. He said that he also went through something like this, but he probably kept his contact phone number up-to-date, unlike me. The point is though, he posts way more than I do and he is still active, while I continued to get blocked. Something is odd, maybe I'm hacked but maybe Facebook is just whacked.
IF I get back into Facebook I think I will start leaving this in a lot of comments and other places, "FYF". That would be my way of saying "F**k You Facebook". Maybe I can get a lot of others to start posting it also. It really seems to me that Facebook is getting too big for their britches.
