Mob Wars on Facebook

The Mob Wars game on Facebook is my new addiction. Send me a friend request with “mob wars” in the message and I’ll add you.

Mob Wars is a simple game that adds just enough player personalization to make it fun without having to over manage resources. You can do jobs, buy/sell weapons & equipment, fight (attack) other mobsters, place a hit on a player, or claim the bounty from a hitlist by killing that player.

Each level you get 3 points to add to your stats; defense, attack, health, energy, and stamina. And of course you get to choose a mob name for yourself.

Facebook account back

My Facebook account was re-enabled Monday 8/04/08, 3 days after being disabled on a Friday. I did send an initial reply to their 1st email explaining what I have been doing and my thoughts on the possible cause, apologizing for any misunderstandings.

Since I am no power user and have well below the max of apps and friends, I find myself a bit apprehensive from doing much communication on or using Facebook. I do not want my meager actions to be deemed spam.

I do understand Facebook’s position in trying to limit spam and any other action that harms their community, but whatever algorithm or automated method they use to watch and track misuse needs to be improved in order to prevent the small causal user from surprise headaches.

One suggestion would be an actual warning well displayed on the users home page and an email message. Both could be sent more than once. First maybe 3 to 4 days in advance of disabling action as a warning. Then a second more threatening message 24 hours before action is taken.

Facebook account disabled

My Facebook account was disabled yesterday with no warning. All I have been doing recently is playing a monster game and posting links to the monster types forum for fighting and feeding. Which it turns out was too many duplicate forum posts - I assume.

I did receive a warning email from Facebook after my account was disabled. I replied explaining my situation and received an acknowledgment. I hope this is resolved soon.

This is frustrating due to the fact that there was no real warning and I have no access to my account info.

Has anyone else had this problem? What is the turn around time for a response?
