What's the stupidest thing the over-zealous ban bot has actioned your account for?

Discussion

I get it. FB has automated the ban bot, but it is way too sensitive and as such has a ridiculously high false positive rate.

Sure, posting a semi-topless photo of Salma Hayek to group of fellow single dads while discussing the hottest celeb was poorly thought out. I got 24 hours for that last year.

Maybe saying to someone "Settle down, fatty" during a heated 'discussion' about politics was in bad taste. That earned me 72 hours, which I agreed with. My apologies, I had a weak moment of aggravation.

But now I'm nearing the end of a 7 day ban for posting a line from Ice Ice Baby, in a discussion about Vanilla Ice visiting our area. Someone started a thread meant to recite the whole song, starting off with "Alright stop" and it went on and on until the following line, which I posted.

The offending lyric that earned me the new ban was "I'm infecting your brain like a poisonous mushroom, DEADLY".

I got a 7 day ban from FB for quoting Vanilla Ice. Good times!

Your turn...

My current ban, a Trump supporter called me a "filthy communist". I replied "ooh scary word you do not understand. Disgusting seditionist". Facebook banned me automatically for 24 hours. I pressed the appeal button and got the ban extended to 30 days.

Because of how crazy FB is with this, I only use my acct for moderating a private group I have there. I never post outside that group.

I'm currently halfway through a 30 day ban for calling MYSELF fat in a sarcastic way when a man was fat shaming me. I got 30 days for calling someone a toe nail and for saying that British politicians roast each other in parliament. I have an alt and that account is banned from joining or posting in any groups. It asks if I disagree with decision, but there are no violations on my support desk.

Getting my own group disabled because I was "bullying" myself.
