Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFor the first time ever, I'm in Facebook jail.
I posted that the GOP is working legislation that would allow banks to raise account fees. That's it. It's true.
I appealed it and they want me to post a video selfie of myself to prove it's really me. It said to move your head around so they can get a look at all angles. Are you effing kidding me? I'm not gonna do that!
So anyone who follows me on FB, I guess I'll see you in 180 days.

(49,860 posts)I got a warning that my Facebook account suspended and I didn't read beyond that I tried to shut the window and received all kinds of warnings.
I reboot it and it was asking for my log in.
So I shut it down completely and when it came back up, I removed all the cookies.
Everything has been working fine.

(16,628 posts)The "how to appeal" notice said that I was blocked due to something like,"Your account may not be real." That was a red flag right there. You may be right.

(301 posts)I (and several others) reported some guy who claimed on FB that women "like to be r*ped and ch*ked," and they said it didn't violate their standards!
Yet, when I wrote about the "throttle body" of my car on an auto repair forum, they banned me for 3 days.
I've stopped using Facebook. It's not worth it.

(1,092 posts)I got a week ban for posting a meme stating that Mary Shelley invented the genre of sci-fi when she wrote Frankenstein. They never gave a reason for the ban, but didnt ban me again when I reposted to bitch about how FB banned me because of that post. I hadnt even cussed in the original.
Almost simultaneously, however, I had reported a profile with a crotch shot (without underwear!) that was obviously soliciting via FB for sex cam shit. The verdict on that came back as not offensive.
Seriously fucked-up priorities, arseholesand that garbage is on steroids now that theyre openly arse-kissing the orange shitgibbon.
