Plan B Forum

I decided to log on to Facebook, which I don’t do often and got a message that I’m blocked because I “used it too fast” and abused their policy. Now I can’t even get to the login screen.

That’s weird. Anybody here ever heard of this? I’m on my iPhone now and will check again on my laptop when I get home. I really don’t care if I am blocked but would like to understand why.

I haven’t insulted Zuckerberg yet so I can’t figure out what happened.

ETA: copy of message- “It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it.”

Never heard of that, you been hacked? Try changing your password.

I googled it; this link discusses it:

https://blog.sonlet.com/2017/02/faceboo ... error.html. It looks like it is a temporary suspension, but I understand it is frustrating. I recall one of my friends got banned from FB without any reason given (and I seriously doubt it is because of content). I figure it's just not worth it.

I read the link above and I really like Tip 3: One easy way to avoid the “going too fast” error is not to post at all.

Sounds good to me. I don't do anything with facebook and they have never banned me or sent and error message.

For the record, I wasn't posting at Facebook when I received that speeding message. It seems like it was some sort of glitch on my phone because I don't recall if I've ever logged on to Facebook on my iPhone until I tried yesterday.

Here on my laptop Facebook works the same as always. Not that I use it much. I mostly use it to view Gob's photographs and read some of his and Meade's posts. Once in a great while I'll write something but I'm not really a Facebook participant.
