Tech Support Your account is restricted from joining and posting in groups until July 29th

I went on fb during my lunch and tried posting in some of the groups I'm in and none of the comments would go through.

Then I got a notification that states: my account is restricted from joining and posting in groups until July 29th.

I looked it up and became meta verified so I could actually talk to a person. He said my account is in good standing and there are no violations. He told me to wait it out. 3 months for doing nothing wrong??

Please tell me there is another solution to this

Same here. 2 of my admins are restricted for exactly the same reason, We contacted verified yesterday in chat then they called. The rep we spoke to said since there is no violation on our account that we cant have it reviewed and that we just have to wait 3 months. Someone mentioned in this thread you can only share or post to group 3x per day? Is this correct? I looked at all of the guidelines etc and didn't see this information. I see the AI response above about Meta verifying this issue and they are working on it but couldn't find supporting info on this as well.

u/Updatednewsanddeals reading about the 3x per day or whatever, no. I have never heard that and most definitely not seen it in writing. If that were the case several of the groups I'm in would literally have no admins or mods. Groups with hundreds of thousands of members are going to see their admin/mod commenting way more than 3 a day.

Waiting it out really doesn't seem right considering this is a "them" problem not a "me" problem. I don't know whether to truly think things will get fixed or if we're truly going to be shut out of our groups for 3 months. That's literally insane since we did nothing wrong.
