I’m a member of several Facebook groups. In mid December one of my football groups disappeared, it looked like I’d been blocked/booted. Oh well never mind.

Then a few days later I noticed that I was prevented from posting or responding to anything on another group (history of London). I enquired of their admin and was told that I must have done something wrong which would have come from Facebook. I spent some time going back over my posts to make sure I hadn’t broken any of the group or Facebook rules. I hadn’t broken any rules or received any notification from Facebook. A thread appeared on that group started by another member who’d had the same problem. I posted that I’d had the same (my posting suspension had expired by then). The result was that I was booted from that group.

It’s not the end of my world but a bit frustrating. Does anyone here understand the workings of Facebook?

The only blemish I ever had with Facebook was when I made a comment about a news article on pavement parking. I got notified that my comment had been taken down as spam. I challenged the decision and my comment re appeared, that’s noted in ‘my violations’.

You didn’t do something silly like mentioning Plymouth Hoe, did you?

Or Westward Ho!?

If I did I wasn’t notified and can’t find it.

Devil’s Dyke was a big Facebook screw up:-

Some one I know on FB itself also had the same problem as his football team shared a name with a US based neo-right wing group and so was banned by name association - think that one also made the UK press.
