Rye Miles #13621 7,448 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I just got blocked on FB for 30 days this time! I accidentally included dollar signs when someone asked about the price of ammo on a gun group. I told them about some .45 acp I just bought over the last two days. I don't know if it was the group itself or Facebook! They took it as I was selling something! So ridiculous! Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the majority of those that are "Jailed" are accused, tried and sentenced by a computer scanning for key words. I haven't post on Fal$e Book since the election coup d'état Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 29,636 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The kicker is you never know just what thing, or what combination of things, will get you banned. You can post the same thing you posted a year ago and BOOM! you are now "violating community standards." With no way to appeal. Link to post Share on other sites

Rye Miles #13621 7,448 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Well it appears that they have now suddenly lifted my jail sentence, maybe because I disputed it? Maybe they have the Los Angeles DA working on this?? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't do FB, but know of a friend who posted a pic of a new firearm, specifically including the text "Not For Sale." Off to FB jail within minutes, the computer program simply acted on the last two words of the text ("For Sale"). When disputed, a human saw the reality and reversed the action.

bgavin 1,881 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Q: did you dispute the offense? These are done by automated code nannies... I have had a few overturned by disputing, which forces a human to interpret the offense. All of which is no longer a concern. As a direct consequence of censorship and bans, I closed all my personal and business accounts on Facebook, and walked away. Link to post Share on other sites

All I did wrong was use dollar signs describing some ammo I bought. The auto bully must have thought I was selling which is NOT allowed. If a human then checked it out they could clearly see I was saying that I had just BOUGHT the ammo. Whew, glad I got out of that Facebook jail, it stinks and there's cockroaches!
