I have half a dozen Newcastle United programs complete with tickets from the 1990s and posted them for sale on Facebook last week. The ad was removed for "contravening facebook rules on tickets". I know ads are regulated by algorithms but supposed to be reviewed by humans on appeal, I've appealed 3 times and they don't even bother to respond. The tickets at 30 to 40 years old, spent and only of interest to collectors, dozy g*ts. :funny:

Account Suspended for 14 days (FB Jail Time) told them to stuff it and closed the account... Unbelievable :vangry:
Do not feel bad. I posted a comment about a video whereby a police officer tried to arrest a woman who was trying to bite him. He said "cut it out or I will zap you." She then tried to bite him again. I posted "I would have zapped her" Facebook said that my comment was not in line with Facebook standards. It went downhill fast after that. So I ended up deleting my account and what a performance that was. A couple of years later my daughter said you could reactivate your account. After due consideration they decided to permanently ban my account. Have a great day Sir. I think your pens are bloody great. Well done.

Welcome to the Facebook can shove it club! I’m sick and tired of all the B*llSh*t about hate speech and misinformation coming from the main stream, there’s no such thing as hate speech, just opinions which you are allowed and it’s up to the individual to agree or not. You don’t need help seeing where the real misinformation is coming from just look at parliament etc

I often get banned from FB. People don't like hearing the truth about themselves from someone who thinks he is perfick in every way lol.
Simply rejoin in another name and carry on insulting, it seems to have become a hobby while waiting for a print to complete.
