Unfairly Banned from Facebook - 29 Days to Go


It's still a shock to me as to how I was suddenly blocked by Facebook for 30-days. The mods don't even give us a chance to plea our innocence and that our post does not violate standards but they fell on death years.


Their excuse is due to lack of manpower and the usage of really fucked up bots to handle the moderation. According to NYU Stern, Facebook moderators make a daily whooping total of 300,000 mistakes and that's way too fucking high by standards. However these mistakes still continue and only God knows how shitty their job is.

I'm a victim of these stupidly unfair blocks one too many. From posting a videogame video of a difficult feat to posting a picture of Michael Owen holding the EPL trophy when he was with Manchester United (he was formerly from rivals Liverpool). The list can go on and on and on and the Facebook mods will not change their habit of making moderation mistakes.

Only Twitter gives some freedom and leeway on terms of posting up to NSFW content on our tweets but as long as they do not mean major harm or be really extreme like child pornography and such. And that is where I roll when things at Facebook go fucked up.

29 days to go and I'm going to miss out a lot of good things bcos of the stupid moderators human or bot and while COVID-19 has claimed millions of lives worldwide it's a shame the moderators aren't among them.
