Got banned by Facebook

They ban people for such ridiculous reasons, ugh. Here is my fascinating story of my facebook bans:

I had this facebook group called “The Largest SECRET Facebook Group in the World” or something like that. Kinda self-explanatory. But you know how “secret” facebook groups require you to be an admin to invite new people? Yeah, so I had this system of rotating admins so that they could invite their friends and then appoint new admins to replace them. So, I sent a message to like six of them in a row (this was before multiple-recipient messages), which facebook perceived as “spam.” I explained my intentions and they unbanned me.

The second time, I was browsing the forums and I had “too many pageviews in too little time”? Lawl. I am a RAPID FACEBOOK BROWSER, apparently. Explained myself and got unbanned.

The third time, I was on the forums on one of those huge groups that takes spam really seriously and reports people for linking to any website. So I posted, like, a relevant link to Wikipedia (not an ad or anything) and was like “don’t report me plz :(” but apparently someone did and I got permanently banned.

Captivating, I know.
