Why can't I post on my Facebook account?
![[Deleted User]](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027153/uploads/defaultavatar/nYQHP2NSOZ2I4.jpg)
Note to the Mods, I am NOT advertising my account here so don't remove the link please...
I signed up to a new account last week as my original got hacked, here's the link <moderator removed - sharing of personal details is not allowed>.
I was able to post for a bit last night, including the results of a daily quiz I get on my Gmail account, now it seems I can't post again yet when I check my full profile it doesn't say my account's restricted again?!
I've emailed my Brother who's in cyber security, but he's always busy and never gets back to me.

This might be a question that you want to take to Facebook's help community (if you are still able to access that). If not, it could be as @woodbine suggests that your account still is under suspension?

I dont know how tech savvie you are but when a person connects to a site there are a lot of things in the background that the device and website communicate to each other that are never displayed to the user. For example every device that accesses the internet has a unique reference number called a MAC address that identifies the device to the website. The same goes for your internet - it has an IP adress.
Places like Facebook have systems in place where if an account is on suspension then your MAC address gets added to a list of suspended MAC adresses and even if you use that device with another account that MAC address never changes and once you start making posts Facebook realises that its an account using the same device and also suspends that account as well. This is why your second account was quickly suspended once you started using it.
The only thing you can do is wait out the suspension of the original account at which point your MAC address will be removed from the list. It is then up to you in the future to make sure you don't contravene Facebook rules otherwise you can find yourself back in suspension, or worse your account totally being removed from Facebook
Hope that helps
