Ok, first, I don't know what "feature" is being referred to and everything seems to be working just fine except the message keeps popping up.

Second, I have no idea how I can be going too fast. I'm using the tools I purchased in the store to harvest, plow, plant, fish, chop trees, shake trees and harvest flowers. I'm not using an auto-clicker program and I'm not trying to click really fast.

To be honest, I think we should be allowed to use auto-clicking programs to save on the wear and tear on the mouse...unless, of course, you're going to offer to replace the mouse when it's been worn out by all of the clicking it takes to play Farm Town.

Anyway, I do not understand why I am getting this message.

Thank you.

Hi Amythyst51,

That's a Facebook blocking that you have and likely to be temporary if it's the first time you have seen it.

We do not know what the reasons were that you got it, we do not have any access to that kind of information. The only thing you can do is wait it out until the blocking is lifted.

Have a think back to what your were doing on Facebook earlier in the day or last night and see if you could have been doing anything like posting the same type of thing to Facebook many times or sharing the same posts to perhaps several groups in a short time.

If you were doing something like that it might be that the automatic spam detection Facebook have set thinks you could have been spamming when you were not. That automation rather than look at the content of the post, will likely detect how many times and how quickly it was done and then set a temporary ban. That's the kind of behavior a spammer would do and Facebook is determined to try to stop those to try to protect it's users.

For example, make sure that if you post bonuses or request ingredients from the game that you only post a maximum of 5 of each to Facebook in the 12 hour period. If you also want to share those, even if it's only one post, to other areas of Facebook, try slowing right down instead of doing trying to them quickly, once the ban is lifted.

If you were doing something too fast like normal farm work while playing the game, the game would have warned you about that in a white notification that disappears and had you ignored it and the game set a ban we would be able to see that in your data and that's not what has happened. You are not going to get that just by using the tools that you bought in the store in the game.

You can read up on what the devs have said about the use of autoclickers in the game if you have not already seen it by clicking on this link:
