FB won't let me "like" anymore

I read some tips on here and it said set up a seperate FB account for sweeping only. I was able to use my new FB profile for about 100 sweeps and then FB blocked me from liking anymore pages...anyone else have this issue? It has been about a month and I am still blocked. I sent 3 emails to FB with no reply. I have been using my regular FB page now. :)
 
Re: FB won't let me "like" anymore

Yes, I had the same problem with my FB page. I posted my problem on another forum topic that mentioned this. It sounds like a lot of us are having similar issues. At first they suspended my FB account stating I had broken a rule--which totally freaked me out! I have only one account (having more than 1 is a violation), I use my real name, I send no emails (no spamming), BUT I enter tons of sweeps (I refuse to FB socially). Luckily, my page was allowed to remain open, but I am not allowed to 'like' anything for at least a month.
I also wrote to FB asking for them to explain what rule I broke. They never wrote back. The only explanation I could think of is that I liked too many companies and that set off a red flag somewhere. FB really needs to look at this issue if they are going to continue to allow sweeps on their site. They must allow people to enter them! I just wish companies would return to using their own website for sweeps and get off of FB all together! But until then... :scratch:

Strange...never heard of this before. I have 3000+ likes on my Facebook page. I would have assumed they prefer it as it shows people are using it to visit other sites/advertising purposes. No wonder the stock dropped.

:wave:that is it 5000 is the limit you will have to unlike so of them start with your oldest ones. they cap you 5000 likes

Have too many LIKES?


I was entering some of the crazy blog contests that require you to like upteen hundred pages for entries and after a while I would click the like button, it would show that I liked it, then a few seconds later, change back. After doing some searching on the internet, it appears that you can only have a combined total of 5000 friends and page likes. I tested it by unlike-ing a page, and was able to like another page. So, it now appears that I am going to have to do a major clean-up on fb and unlike a bunch of pages. Does anyone how a quick way to do this? It will take forever to do it one by one.


Now I feel the need to rant: I really hate facebook, but it seems all companies are starting to use them for sweeps. It used to be only smaller contests, but now a lot of the contests with huge prizes are using fb for their contest platform. It isn't that I mind entering through fb so much as it gives them way to much power. A while back they decided that for some reason my account was not legit (I have seen this happen to many sweepers) and locked me out of my account for several days. There were a lot of contests that I could not enter because of this. At anytime, for no reason, they can disable anyone's account and basically void all your entries in many sweeps. And now because all of these sites that require you to like them to enter, and fb's like limit, I am going to have to spend hours maintaining my account. I really wish fb would go away like myspace and the others did in the past, but it would be replaced by the latest, greatest, annoying social media.



Amy, there's a far easier way to UNLIKE a Facebook Page:

Bring up the FB page you want to unlike, scroll down and look for the following options on the left:

Create a Page
Get Updates via SMS
Get Updates via RSS
Unlike
Report Page
Share

Click 'Unlike' and you're done!

Btw, some current Bud Light promotions have the same problem as Trop's did that you mentioned, so this is a much more convenient way to deal with it :)
 
Re: FB won't let me "like" anymore

Per the 5,000 likes limit--my FB account had just over 1,000 when they began to block me. I have given up trying to guess their reasons since so many are having so many different problems. I just hope they turn my likes back on at the end of the month. Too many contests have shifted to FB!
Thanks for adding my link Amy. I forgot where that was posted. :cheers:

I am at my 5000 cap likes, but i noticed tat it will let you like one or two more pages a day after the cap.
 
Re: FB won't let me "like" anymore

Same thing happened to me with only 300 likes but i did win 2 sweeps. I'm still in my 30 day corner waiting to come out swinging.
 
Re: FB won't let me "like" anymore

Sometimes....that FB.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :cussing: Why are they soooo controlling? Geez. Why limit likes?
 
Re: FB won't let me "like" anymore

I only have a FB page for sweeps and they blocked me. They said I was spamming for to many likes.
I didn't have any friend so, I had some family member add me and I put some pics on my page.

I found out that not only am I blocked from liking pages but, I can't add friends, comment on anything or tag pics.
Hopefully after my 30 days are up I will be ok now that I have a few friends.
 
Re: FB won't let me "like" anymore

They turned me back on!! No comments from them or answers to my email, but my "Likes" just started working today. Now I'm a little paranoid to enter too many, but at least they are back on!
