So a while back I made a thread about an issue I am having with my facebook fanpage, where in it thinks anything associated with my page is spam. I finally heard back from FB that someone has been constantly reporting all of my posts (few as they are) as spam. This has created an issue where when someone tries to tag "Raina the Halifax Mermaid" in a status, share the page, share an image, or tag a photo- they are presented with a security check capctha they must fill out. Because the capctha's rarely show up on FB, people often freak out thinking there's been some security breech- and they don't follow through. Often, when someone tries to follow through they keep getting re-prompted with the captcha and it doesn't work.

I'm not sure who has it out for me, but obsessively reporting my posts as spam is pretty fu*king low honestly. I've filed a FB help ticket which they tell you right upfront they usually don't respond to.

I tried posting about this issue on my personal page and it took 5 tries to get it to post because I tagged my page, and it still wouldn't post so I had to remove the tag.

On FB our reach is already low, but this severely handicaps me. It means clients can't tag me in statuses or photos (which I am constantly getting emails about). People I have made deals with to share their pages when they share mine etc can't follow through. The average user wont share because they think there is a security hazard.

The only real way I can get help is if people fill out the form under "this is a mistake" when the captcha pops up. You need to include the link to my fanpage.

So I'm asking, I know I've asked before.... but I'd really appreciate it if people could attempt to share something from my page. If it does share you can delete it if you want to, if you get the capctha, you don't have to actually follow through with sharing you can just click this link on the bottom right:

24837

When you fill out the form you gotta link my page which some people didn't do last time (I didn't realize they had to for the report to be considered valid) https://www.facebook.com/RainaMermaid

Id really really appreciate people helping me out with this. I try to help out the community a lot and this is affecting my direct business. I *do* get business from Facebook, and I network locally a hell of a lot. It would be really great if I had the tagging ability back without the warning/blocking.I've been struggling along since this started happening... and you'll notice what I post to that page has gone way down. I used to post a few things a day now it's 1 or 2 a week or so.

P.s. I know I had a thread on this elsewhere but the search proved useless. I can't remember what I titled it and I tried the usual keywords for title + my username to no avail, so please don't give me crap for a second post :p

I shared the post about Annette Kellerman and it didn't ask for captcha.
So I shared the kitten (because kitten!) and it did, so I followed through.

Hope it gets resolved, this is indeed incredibly low and just messed up.

Geez, what kind of asshat would do something so freaking petty? :thinks:

I'll follow through, too.

Oh my goodness. Why would someone be so cruel. Geez that person needs to get a hobby, do something constructive with their life instead of wasting it on someone else's life.

:hug:

I'll share stuff of yours when I get home from work tonight! ;)

I just shared two posts from your page - one on my Mermaid Galene page and one on my personal page. I didn't get a captcha either time. So then I shared the one about your new kitty, and like deepblue, I got the captcha and followed through with a report. Hope this gets resolved for you soon!

I'm not sure why but for me it doesnt matter what I do, I always get it. And when I get it half the time it wont work and still wont let me post :( I've tried both my accounts and 3 different browsers so I know it's on FB end :(

Thanks everyone for your help. It's annoying as all hell

thing is, someone who keeps doing this usually ends up with their own fb locked down if enough people counter the spam report. Someone would really need to be desperate to hurt you in order to risk that

Just shared the picture of you and Charlie, and everything went normally. Maybe the fb app for windows phone is not affected? Or maybe because I'm posting from Europe?

Nevertheless, this sucks, and if someone does report you on purpose he is as low as he can get.

I shared the cute pic of the parrots (one real and one fake) but no warning came up. I also used my phone so maybe is just when you use a computer? No sure, hope it stops soon, that's pretty frustrating :/

Hrmmm.... I tried to share your page and that security warning came up. I clicked the let us know link on it and reported it as you suggested. After that I tried to share your page again and used the captcha but it wouldn't let me share the page. It said that I had to refresh or reopen the window. So I tried refreshing and again it wouldn't let me share it even after putting in the captcha part. I closed the window, opened a new one and tried again. This time it let me tag you and post the share but I still had to do the captcha part to do so. Man, that was a pain in the tail to do just to share your page.

Also right after I finally managed to share your page, I immediately got a Twitter message saying that I had won some Halifax prize? Do you know anything about that? I thought that was a bit odd and kind of sketchy. Maybe it was coincidental or poor timing but definitely odd.

:thinks:

Woooow, whoever is doing this to you has no life. Idk why but that does not sound grammatically correct... Sadly I cannot share anything, I keep getting an error message. Maybe it's my settings?

yeah that's the point it wont let people share but if you click the link above people can report it. So freaking annoying ugh.

I managed to share your page with my personal facebook account. It took a couple tries, but it worked eventually. I also sent in a report.
