Instagram Blocks

Ask a Question

Morning all. I do a lot of competitions on Instagram but get blocked after doing a few for tagging people. It seems to be happening every week. Is anyone else facing the same issue? There doesn’t seem to be a way to complain either. Can anyone help? Thanks 🙏

I've never had that problem before. I enter comps on Instagram and have never been blocked fof tagging people. That's very strange. I'm surprised there is no contact us section or even a chatbot to complain to.

MrsCraig apparently its normal if you enter a lot within a short space of time. Instagram thinks it may be a bot or spam!!! So i think the answer is ener a few only at a time and dont tag too many people

MrsCraig yes and especially you cant contact them - so i only enter the ones where only one entry is allowed. Ive stopped all the Boohoo ones as i never see any winners being annouced on thei page just lots of competitions.

Mayhem I don't enter as many comps on there as I used to but I will be even more mindful of being blocked now.

I used to do boo hoo competitions on instagram that usually require that you post as many icons as you can , the more you post the greater chance of winning

I got blocked twice because of this, so i stopped entering them, they are worlwide comps anyway so less chance of winning

Saying that i did win some jewellery on a stokes competition once and they are worldwide too

telmel Yes I had the same - the boo hoo prizes look amazing and so i entered those a lot. But with being blocked so many times (normally for 2 days) and never seeing a winner announced, I have also stopped!! They kept running for a trip to NY!!! Hope you are well
