That's crazy!
I can't believe they would do this to you for chatting with friends. but when that thing with Bonny Eagle Graduation was going on, they did nothing about the ****** that was posting my parent's name, address, phone #'s, Email addy's and urging them to call at all hours of the night.
I think facebook has caught the stupid.

that's outrageous and really goes to show that they dont moniter there users the way they should. If they questioned what you were doing because of the amount that you posted they should have reviewed what you were saying and realized it was a lagitamate conversation. That is nutz

If you haven't already, I would suggest using the facebook suggestion page to express you're feelings towards their policies. I've used it before to complain about the quizzes in the news feed. It didn't solve my issue magically, but it made me feel better. Hopefully things work out for you.

thank you, that's one place I haven't tried, cause if it has anything do do with posting or emailing, I get another point docked or whatever. But I will write to them.
Thanks again everyone.

The message indicating you had been "flagged" didn't happen to have a link in it?
Lots of reports of viruses floating around masquerading as "You'd been flagged..." or "you've been reported..." warnings with a link in them which takes you somewhere other than Facebook (and subsequently infects your PC with a virus). Just wondering if the message you got was not what it seemed to be.
Then again, Facebook has also been more aggressively monitoring usage trying to crack down on spammers and virus distribution, so you may have simply gotten caught in that net by mistake.

Yes, and no, the warning was legit because I carried a conversation back and forth and apparently typed it too quick while in two different quizes. It did have links to click on, which I did, but they just contained more information. Nothing strange popped up or anything like that.
The virus you are speaking of says, "Your friend Bill reported this content as offensive, please click here to delete it before Facebook staff sees it" or something like that.
HOWEVER, I decided to create a blogspot yesterday and I put the link on my Facebook. When I copied the link to send it to my friend today in Facebook IM, it said, "Someone reported this link as offensive" but didn't have anything to click on. I closed out by doing "Control ALT Delete" rather than the "x" in the corner of the warning. Disk cleaned, changed my password, ran a scan, everything. YUCK.
I typed the link in the IM and it was fine- but the link- when I did copy it, it did have extra number and letter characters in it. I deleted the post.
I am sure mine was legit due to the friend to comment ratio and the messages back and forth to my best friend in our inboxes. If I had more friends, and talked just the same, it would have been fine, but I've actually been deleting them, so I have an even tighter squeeze. I've made 7 photo comments and 2 status updates, and commented under 3 status messages... this has all been within the past 2 days, and I haven't gotten a warning. I AM getting CAPTCHAs when I send website links in private messages- which was twice today to the same friend. But there aren't warnings with it.
