It then goes on to say it can not show me the offending post as that is against the standards.
A couple things struck me
1) I do not have a clue what they are talking about.
2) I have not appealed any removed posts,
3) As I have no idea what the post was that they say they deleted, and what they call SPAM, so I am likely to repeat it at some time.
I was deregistered for something like this a few years back and all my friends, contacts, posts and photographs were deleted, never to be resurrected.
Has anyone had this just recently?
TIA

How to avoid scams involving hacked social media accounts:
- When approached by your family or friends on social media talking about investment opportunities, be wary.
- Consider contacting the loved one by other means toverify their identity, such as by phone.
- Be careful when anyone or any platform requires advance payments to withdraw funds.
The Neighbourly team has been diving into a big question: should our curiosity take us up into space or down into the ocean?
It’s wild to think that more people have walked on the Moon than have reached the deepest point of the sea. Why is that?

Here’s a fun one — the same material NASA created to cushion astronauts in space is now helping Kiwis get their best sleep ever.
It’s called Tempur, and it’s not your average mattress. The TEMPUR® material gently adapts to your body, easing pressure points and giving you that “floating on air” kind of comfort.
We’ve put together a simple guide to help you find the perfect one for your sleep style. Check them out here: beds4u.co.nz...
So if you’ve been mattress-hunting, maybe it’s time to check out the brand that started in space. Pop into your nearest Beds4U store and feel the Tempur difference for yourself — your back (and your dreams) will thank you.

The circumstances of the man’s death remain unclear, and Police are working to understand what occurred in the lead-up to this incident.
Officers are particularly focused on tracing the man’s movements over the past two weeks and are appealing to the public for any information that may assist. “We are committed to establishing the full circumstances surrounding this man’s death,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Daniel Overend. “This is a perplexing case, and we are keeping an open mind as we work through a number of inquiries.”
As part of the investigation, Police are conducting an area canvas of the Eastern Terrace neighbourhood to identify anyone who may have seen or interacted with the deceased in recent weeks.
Anyone with information that could assist is urged to contact Police on 105, or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111. Please quote file number 251004/7850.
