“It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been blocked from using it. Learn more about blocks in the Help Center.”
Do you get an error like the one above? We know it looks scary but it does NOT mean you’ve been blocked from using Pilot Poster.
UPDATE: The issue seems to be with HTC Sense, Authenticate iPhoto and Set it as your Default App to solve this Problem!
If you’ve been using iPhoto before now, simply re-authenticate and set as your default app.

The error is a WARNING message from Facebook and NOT from Pilot Poster, and this warning doesn’t mean you can no longer post.
The cause?
- Facebook seems to be getting tougher day after day, so whenever you post to too many Facebook groups (Sometimes few), they throw you that warning. This warning also comes up when posting manually to Facebook groups.
- This could also be related to the app used for posting, that is why we recommend iPhoto app.
We set up this precaution to avoid you continuing to post, because you could actually get thrown into Facebook Jail for some days if you keep posting after the Warning.
The Solution
To solve this issue, we recommend the following;
- Pause all running posts and Wait for 1-3 Hours before you continue posting to Facebook Groups
- Switch the apps used for posting when you resume posting (recommended app is iPhoto).
- If possible, Change Image, URL and Text of your post when resuming posting
- Switch to other Facebook accounts while waiting.
- Read Our Safety Post Guide
Team Pilot Poster is working hard to reduce the Facebook jail issues for our issues, we’ll be implementing some major changes in the coming updates for a better posting experience.

Hello,
That error is caused by your post content. In most cases, it occurs when you have SPACE in the file name of your image. To fix, please rename the image you’re posting replacing every SPACE with the dash (-) symbol.

I got thrown in jail 🙁 and now when I try to use Pilot Poster, I get this message: “Error validating access token: The session has been invalidated because the user changed their password or Facebook has changed the session for security reasons.”
Is there any way to get around this?
To clarify, I’m out of jail now and this is the message I’m getting
Hello, you need to re-authenticate your apps.
Hi, I have changed the password in pilotposter and I cant send posts. I can see the message: Error validating access token: The session has been invalidated because the user changed their password or Facebook has changed the session for security reasons.
So what to do?
Hello, Kindly re-authenticate the app used for posting.
Hi, you suggest to use iPhoto in most cases. But it there isn’t more in the list.
Which do we use?
thanks

Sometimes it has to do with your content and not just your activities.

I can’t join groups for some reason. I have read your advice about facebook jail but still can’t join groups using the scheduler.
I used the following settings
delay: 10 minutes
Pause after: 12 groups
Resume after: 12 hours
App: iphone
What do you think i’ve done wrong?
Thanks
Hello Keith, what error do you encounter when you tried to join groups?
Ciao, le attività Scheduled Posts non vengono seguite correttamente. Capita che il post venga duplicato e pubblicato 2 volte nello stesso gruppo oppure non viene rispettato l’orario e viene pubblicato alla stessa ora in 2 gruppi diversi. Risultato? Bloccato per 15 giorni. Potete controllare?
Ciao, fornisci gentilmente il tuo nome utente.
