As someone else in the OP’s position (locked out of the Facebook account linked to my Quest), it is supremely frustrating to see your comment dismissing this situation out of hand.
- raziel2p 6y agoLet me clarify. I also think it's stupid and fraudulent that you should be banned from using your Oculus because your Facebook account is locked. I just find it hard to believe that Facebook accounts get locked for no reason whatsoever.
- fabian2k 6y agoWhy? I think it is very plausible that a large part of this is automated. Combine that with a real name policy and false positives sound not that unlikely. One potentially error-prone part of moderating any site with community content is handling users evading bans by creating new accounts. If you don't have any mechanism to prevent that, you have a much larger amount of offensive or troll posts, and react slower because you don't have the history of the user because you treat each account as a different person. But any mechanism trying to detect if a new user is potentially a sock puppet of a troublemaker is acting on rather few bits of information. So false positives are not that unlikely.
- fogihujy 6y agoI'm sure there are reasons. It's just that Facebook's reasons might not sound reasonable to everyone else, and it could be as simple as a login from an IP associated with fraudulent behaviour caused by someone else at the same ISP. Carrier-grade NAT is funny that way.
