I'm about to kick Facebook's ass

If you missed Chapter One, it's outlined here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8830238&mesg_id=8830238 and here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8831058&mesg_id=8831058



They gave me a "time out" for about 24 hours. After it ended and I was allowed to post again, I posted once to my wall, about five hours ago — but I still couldn't reply to the replies to it.

A few minutes ago, I tried to post to a friend's wall and this popped up:

You are blocked from making wall posts due to continued overuse of this feature
Your failure to comply with an earlier warning has resulted in this block.

Please note that this block is temporary and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Facebook cannot lift this block for any reason. Please be patient and refrain from using this feature for a few days.

Continued misuse of Facebook's features may result in your account being permanently disabled.

Which of the following links describes what you were trying to do? Clicking on a link will take you to more information on how to use Facebook's features.

Using Applications
Planning an Event
Sharing your Facebook Group/Event link
Promoting a business, product or service
Chatting with friends

I haven't "overused" or "misused" a goddamn thing, and what "failure to comply" are they talking about? Besides, they won't tell you what "overuse" or "misuse" are.

I've documented the messages and e-mailed Facebook twice.

I'm SERIOUSLY pissed. :grr:

1. I really don't understand why they're doing this to you.

There are people on my news feed that post way more times/day than you do. It doesn't make sense. :shrug:

2. Whoa. That wou*d piss me OFF!

From reading peop*es' stories it sounds *ike you can't do much about it, either.

3. That's strange.

I've never heard of any of these warnings before.

4. Have you added any new friends lately?

Don't add anyone who says they know me, unless you know for sure they know me. I just wanted to let you know that anyone who sends you a friend request and says they know me, unless you know for sure they know me, don't add them. I'm serious. There are still Courtney Love haters and so-called Courtney Love fans who hate my guts and will try to fuck with my friends. I shit you not.

5. As puzzled as you are Oedi

Before your thread the other day, I didn't know there was such a thing as FB posting abuse.

:wtf:

If there's a max#posts/day, they need to post a notice about it so that peole know.

I don't think there is such a thing however. Not when I see people using the FB Wall exactly like Twitter.

6. That's a larf

Some people put up wall posts every time they fart or pick their noses. You, however, are not one of those people. (Honestly, I wish the farters/nose pickers would get a time out or two or 12!)

Any chance it could be one of their latest glitches? I found one the other day: I can't post on my family update wall because it says I have to join first. I click on "join" and it says I have to be signed in first. (I AM signed in; otherwise I wouldn't be able to get to the family updates! :eyes: )

I say give it another day or two--maybe the FB folks will pull their heads out of their asses by then.
