Facebook Temporary Restrictions

Share:

For reasons unknown, Facebook is banning people from ‘some Facebook features’.  One of these features is joining and posting in groups. To check and see if you have been restricted, go to your Facebook Support Dashboard. This is having a negative impact on Mock Wars and is just one more thing that is taking what little fun factor is left out of Mafia Wars. Thanks to Deb Crechiolo Moore for the information.

  1. I got blocked yesterday, i had to re apply via my mobile phone. A way of collecting mobile phone numbers and being targeted by adverts by any chance ?

  3. I had something similar happen to me a couple of weeks ago,. It did not recognize my name as legitimate, so it blocked me for a day.

  4. Please Verify Your Identity
    We’re working hard to make sure that everyone on Facebook uses their real identity.
    Facebook does not allow accounts that:
    Pretend to be someone else
    Use a fake name
    Don't represent a real person
    In order to regain access to your account, please complete the following security check to verify your identity and help keep Facebook secure.a mate got this

  5. Facebook has always done this. If you have posts that are reported as abusive or if your name is not a real one. I know dozens of people over the last few months who have had to change their names to their real names and have had to send in a copy of their drivers license or some such thing. It's not new for them to do this, but it does seem to be more common in the last few months.

  6. I was blocked 6 months ago for two weeks. Have a real name and only one account. Don't use scripts. Just got blocked. No matter how many times I wrote to ask them what was wrong, I got no answer. After two weeks, I was unblocked. They are just idiots.

  8. I just remembered this from some time back: You can avoid this by going to Account Settings > Security > Trusted Contacts. Add two or three Trusted Contacts, and you should be able to avoid this.

  10. This is a counter action toguard against fake likes and toi stop the business of fake likes.
    Is it me or does this fake like crap seem like a storm in a tea cup that has caused a jealous greedy individual who created FB or some FB employee with a stick up their arse to go on a cyber witch hunt that fucks up things for genuine folk?

  11. I actually kind of see facebook's point of view here. I am sure that they are not aware that our small group here uses multiple alternate accounts which are needed for survival in this game.

    1. that's the reason zinga needs to host all game activity on their own servers, and not rely on another company (facebook) servers for messages and log on activity.

    2. What you said hits the nail on it's head (no pun intended). I just feel like I've been jerked around for the last 6 + years. Some in my mafia are just quitting MW and either getting out completely or playing other games now. Zynga should wake up and smell the coffee!!

    1. If it's not there you may need to resubmit it. Sometimes comments get stuck in the spam folder and eventually get deleted.

  13. I got blocked a couple of days ago for 30 days on liking and following pages. I have only averaged 1 like a day in April, so have no idea why this got me a 30 day restriction.

  14. I've been blocked now for several days. Today I've been receiving updated notifications that keeps moving the time back. I started out blocked until May 1st. I'm now blocked until May 4th at 4:47pm. I've appealed several times but, of course, I've gotten no response.

  15. Another account blocked till May 5 and was not allowed to come to this site either. What about a 2 day moratorium on FB and no one uses it during that time.

  16. Loot Lady, can you please make a post how important it is for Zynga to pick up the phone and call Face Book and talk about the Game and post bands, how important it is to us to post ice in groups and not get banned for it? there is even a up coming Mock. everyone is afraid to post or is already banned.
