Facebook Blocks Moms Due to Excessive Message Posting

It may sound unbelievable that a Facebook group for young mothers would have a near constant volley of messages careening through the popular social network’s series of interconnected tubes, but it’s true! Apparently they like to chat with one another on the order of “35 to 40 messages within a 1.5- to 2-hour period,” according to PC World.

The problem is that Facebook’s security software sees such rapid-fire posting as a sure sign of “abusive or spammy” behavior and, in some cases, restricted certain group members’ accounts for 24 hours.

Lucy Berry told PC World, “We were just discussing our children. I got a message saying I may be annoying other people. Which I know isn’t true.” After that, Berry’s account was locked down for 24 hours.

Facebook says its software sees the act of sending several messages in a short amount of time as a sign of suspicious activity, but the site has “recently tweaked the system for groups to allow people to post at a quicker rate.”

Parents are told to be parents, not friends to their children. Parents should continue to drive in their parental lanes and not crossover into their children’s lane of friendship.

Doing this will keep the family together and not drive the children to move to another state, another house within your state, hard drinking, drugs, or verbal abuse!

Never share Facebook with your children . . . the life you save will be your own. Share at your own risk.

Wow, Unforgiven, did you actually read the article? The parents were talking in a group for young mothers, about their children. Not harassing their children online. There was no mention whether the parents and their kids were friends on Facebook. By the term “young mother” you can easily deduce that these are woman with small children. Way too small to be on Facebook in the first place, and chances are good, these mothers WERE on Facebook even before they were mothers. Seeing as the social site has been around for many years.
Get off your pedestal.
