I announced on July 22nd that Facebook had blocked me due to what they considered misuse.  Here it is August 1 and I still can’t add friends.  I even went 48 hours with adding one friend suggestion.  Yeah, the are starting to pile up but I am saving them for when I am no longer blocked.  I am wondering if adding all of them will only get me blocked again.  I just don’t freaking get it.  I only request to add people I REALLY know or those who have been suggested.  For this they ban me for 10 days from adding friend suggestions and game invites?  WTF?  I am not a SPAMMER going willy nilly across Facebook pages adding people who don’t know me.  GEEZ.

number1BeachBum broadcast a message: “”Please remember it IS NOT THE NUMBER OF SISTERS IN YOUR HOUSE it is the GLAM - popularity and charm numbers combined that YOU HAVE 4 EACH SISTER that determines a win or loss. BANK YOUR MONEY, GLAM UP, AND ATTACK WITH PRIDE -NO Slapping - www.Sorority-life.com website GREAT info”

I AGREE!

number1BeachBum broadcast a message: “You only get a percentage of the money that the person you attacked had NOT put in the bank.  I am not sure if that answered your question or not.  Also you do not win based on number of people you win based on your total # of charm points and Popularity points of the glam you have for each person”. reply»
