Blocked from Doing Something on Facebook (Here is the Solution)

Facebook has been broadly the most crowded social media platform because it gives people free access to many features that could only be accessed with a huge amount of money which include advertising their business commodities. Facebook has many reasons to block its clients from doing something or completely shut off the user account which is why they set up certain rules to oversee the way people utilize the platform to make sure that nobody was affected by any harmful effects. They conclude such rules and named them Facebook community standards. Any action against such rules will be considered dishonorable by Facebook laws. 

This article has covered a complete guide on how a user can fix his problems if Facebook blocked him from doing something like posting in a group, sending friend requests, commenting on a post, sharing particular URLs, and so on. 


Why Facebook rejects or Blocks your post? 


Why Facebook blocks your account or post


Facebook is a place where a mass number of people visit with various objectives. With a constantly increasing number of daily visitations, people rush to share new updates about their business commodities in various groups, pages, news feeds, and story updates, some were Bloggers sharing a link from their Blog websites either to reach more traffic or to advertise their business entities online. If you had not been cautious you would find yourself being blocked out from sharing a post or updates on Facebook.

The reason why Facebook temporarily blocked a website link or blocks you from posting anything either restrictions from groups posting or pushes you out entirely from the Facebook platform can be categorized as follows: 

1. Facebook suspects you post a malicious or spammy link.

2. If you shared the same link or content in multiple groups or pages or you multiply similar comments several times in a particular post and in a short amount of time. The Facebook bot will assume that you are trying to pose a danger to someone, hence they would temporarily lock you out.

2. Someone reports you to Facebook. If somebody files an abusive report against you or content you share in a group to Facebook teams, they will automatically block you out. 

3. A group admin can report you also for violating the group's rules. 


Examples of spam post that goes against community standards on Facebook

1. Posting false or fake news usually caused the Facebook community standards team to block your account. 

2. Posting content that is harmful or risky to the life of humans.

3. Sharing contents that dishonor the dignity of others.

4. Sending too many friend request to unknown personalities is a reason Facebook block you from sending friends request.

5. Multiplying comments with similar content in a particular post within a short time. 

6. Sharing or posting many times in a group or page with content that is irrelevant to the audience, a Facebook bot will mark your content as spam. 

7. Also repetition of the same post or comment many times will get you to lock out.

How to resolve the issue of your Facebook account blocked from group posting and comments


Tips to prevent Facebook from blocking your account

After Facebook unblocked you from certain activities, is not mean that you're free from future blocking. When you repeat the same habit that causes your account to be restricted, then Facebook also would reapply its rules against your account.

For you to be clear from further Facebook's confinement, here I outlined some tips you suppose to put under consideration while using the Facebook platform:

1. Don't send messages to people you don't know.

2. Avoid sending a friend request to people you don't know, follow them instead. If you do so in the past finish it before Facebook bans your account. 

3. Avoid too many comments in a short period, or duplicate comments with similar texts in different places, if necessary give time intervals before repeating the same comments in different places respectively. 

4. Avoid sharing content in Facebook groups that are irrelevant to a group purpose respectively. Read the rules of every group before you share your content in it. 

5. Create your group for your particular topic to avoid punishment by using third-parties property. 

6. Avoid posting or sharing too much in a short amount of time especially if it contains similar content. If you are going to share your website links in different places gives time intervals between them so that the Facebook bot will not define it as spam. 

6. Read the Facebook community standards to know which kind of content posting and sharing is violent to the Facebook rules.

Conclusion 

The Facebook team wants everyone to feel safe, respected, and welcome that is why they set certain rules monitored by the Facebook review team and technology works in many languages to make sure they are typically applied. 

Once they suspect certain transgression they would automatically block your account either from doing certain activities or completely. And they always recount any account with previous punishment, that is why I advise you not to repeat the same mistake after they unblock your Facebook account, because by doing so you might not be cautioned, Facebook may disable or restrict your account which in turn you are the one who would regret.
