Prayers Needed


 

I am beyond frustrated at the moment.  I went to log onto Facebook to do my usual recipe postings and have been informed that my Facebook Account has been suspended. It had some thingie where I had to move my head around in the circle to prove that I was a human, but I am not sure I did it right as it was difficult to read what to do and do it at the same time. This supposedly was an appeal. As far as I know I have not violated any Facebook Community Standards. I am one of the most benign people on there.  Every day I get men on my English Kitchen page trying to hit on the ladies that regularly visit it and I have to block them, multiple times and they just come back with another name and fake picture. This goes on and on, and then I, who am just a normal person, not trying to violate anyone get suspended? It doesn't make sense. In any case, your prayers would be very much appreciated. It is my main means of communication with my family and an integral part of directing traffic to my food blog as well. 

Thanks so much.  Trying not to panic here.

Love,

Marie xo


UPDATE - Its now working. Thank goodness! I will never understand the ins and outs of the platform. How it could see me as spam and yet all those fake men as not being spam.  Whatever, I am grateful to be back up and running again! Whew!

  2. Facebook has its own set of rules, if I encounter anything like that, I just close out the website or app (whatever you use) restart the device and start over and it usually sorts itself out.

    1. No, it actually thought I was spam. Couldn't go onto my personal page, or my English Kitchen page or even use messenger. They have since verified me and it is back working. Whew! Thank goodness! xoxo

  3. I'm glad they fixed it for you. Blogger removed one of my blogs once and I lost thousands of memories. I had to start all over again. I don't know why, they didn't say. Just notified my my blog had been removed!

  4. So sorry Marie...one of the things that is beyond belief in using the internet/computer...they are so beyond imperfect!! And sadly, some folks depend on the income they make there. I hope all will be well now...maybe you can have one of your sons or grandsons check things out too.
    HUGS, Elizabeth xoxo

  5. That must have been very scary, Marie. So glad it’s back up and running. Always something, it seems, to upset the apple cart. Love and hugs, Elaine

Your comments mean the world to me, and while I may not be able to address each one individually, each one is important to me and each one counts. Thanks so much!
