Banned from Facebook

[Gadget-UK]

Yes, I know.... Mild Mannered old me got myself banned from Facebook

So what did you do I hear you ask, well I posted some pictures of my pens and woke up to a notification from the FB Police telling me that I had "Violated their T&C's on Hate Speech and Inciting Violence"
So WHAT pictures did I post....
These:


Plus a few more... Templar Knights Pens
Account Suspended for 14 days (FB Jail Time) told them to stuff it and closed the account... Unbelievable

I have to say that no matter how long I looked at your pens, no feelings of doing violence or speaking hatefully arose.
Am I doing something wrong?

Agreed.
My wife was banned from using her phone from Vodaphone. Breaching T/C’s
No explanation given.
Still fighting it.

Every cloud has a silver lining so look on the bright side, you are off the cesspool that is Facebook.

Never been on it, but from what I have read about I am glad I never fell for it.

Stay off it you can thank me later

I’ve had a few of posts rejected on FB because I mentioned words like “tortoiseshell”, “ivory” and “leopardskin” to describe pen colours and patterns. The algorithm interpreted it as if I was trading in illegal stuff. I didn’t bother appealing and if I had been banned then it would probably give me a few hours of my life back every week

Thanks Guys, not re-joining and hadn't been on it for years.
My kids "Insisted" and it was a friend of my sons that asked about the Templar Pens.
My account was "Live" for about 3 days
Maybe it was a sign for me NOT to be on it

Never been, or ever will be on that platform. used by morons. just my opinion.

Think it was a few people that decided they didn't like me and what I was doing Tom....

I have now found out that a few accounts complained about a lot of my posts / threads as all you have to do is hit the "Report" button now, accounts can be suspended if a certain number of individual reports are made, all done by AI with NO human interaction until you appeal the suspension, then a "Human" looks at the posts and decides if the ban should stay in place or not.
Not really bothered as I said I was only on it for 3 weeks

I will have to get another few and see what happens...... got a table for a craft fair next Saturday and it's in a Masonic Hall....

Don't worry everyone on this site likes you and you can show your pens no matter what they may be.....

Nice pens Colin. It makes no sense that you are banned for these yet you can still read the most hateful comment aimed at people when those types of comments should be taken down.
i got a severe warning and was quarantined for showing a video of an accident which I warned people about so they wouldn’t make the same mistake and was accused of inciting violence. The only way out of quarantine was to agree to the accusation.

 

[Gadget-UK]

Afraid I will never admit to or agree to something I have not done Bill & those pens certainly do not incite hatred or violence whatever anyone says.
You should see the mugs I am doing with them on

Do you sell the Templar pen blanks?
I seen Tom's on f/b and would love to get hold of a couple.
I'm interested in the Templar history and those blanks are brilliant.
