And they will not tell me which post goes against community standards.

I have looked back on my posts today & cant find anything that might have offended FB.

Not that bothered, just more irritated because I don’t know how I managed too update the snowflakes at FB.

I'm sure this is up there amongst some of the worlds biggest worries at this current moment.

Their current algorithm means you'll probably be shown the same posts as when you left, in the same order.

You should thank them for disconnecting you from their system.

I once got a telling off from FB's moderation team for a post I had made six years earlier. It was all very bizare to be honest.

Snowflake has become such a helpful red flag for me. Anyone who uses it can be ignored.

Its easy to fall foul of the rules.

I have a fairly normal range of Facebook interests, Caterhams, Art Groups, Movies etc and that has generated even wider stuff with a selection of videos automatically assembled to include Drag Racing, engineering, aircraft and a selection of comedy set pieces.
That includes bits from Dave Allan, the Fast Show, Jim Davidson, and from across the pond, a guy called Jack Vale with a fart machine set off in public locations.

For those unfamiliar, there are 3 options for each picture or article. 'Like' on the left, ' Comment' centrally, and 'Share' on the right.
For example :


As a right hander, I was using my index finger to scroll through the current entertainment.

That's where it went all wrong as I scrolled through the stuff rapidly.

Quite unsolicited, the next video, I assume generated by the comedy stuff was an American guy whose party piece was to jump out with a microphone and see the reaction from a couple of young ladies to a surprise comment. In this flic, he said ' Do you take it up the @rris ?'. Not funny, or at least just crude, and I carried on scrolling, and suddenly got a message from a lady I know ( " ?????? " )

I turned to the messenger section wondering what this was about and it was soon obvious that I had managed to forward ( Share ) this to a respectable lady friend quite unintentionally and the very helpful Facebook had even given me a selection of names to choose who to send it through. It coudn't have been worse.

I was mortified, started to explain it wasn't what it appeared but was blocked before completing my reply.

I was actually angry that my stubby fingers had partly been at fault, but having slept on it, realised the web is full of rubbish like this and my intentions remained honourable. Hopefully I will be able to apologise in person when Lockdown eases.

My advice - You just have to shrug it off.

Some poor little love is sitting there proud a punch that they made a complaint about you and you are concerned about the post and the complainer

I have had numerous bans because of a non offensive post or comment

If you want to see these creatures at work follow LBC radio everything they post starts a good old ding dong which is laughable

Sometime I post a comment just to be a git and see the loons react

TBH if she blocks you without letting you explain...
