Oh My Facebook: The Roadblock System Is A Serious Joke!
Posted at 8:53 pm on June 13th, 2010 in Info Tech Hits: 7,402

Being a person who tries many new mobile applications to access Facebook, i am always stuck with the stupid Facebook roadblock verification system. Well the roadblock system normally gets to you when it suspects someone else is trying to your account from an untrusted source, so it stops your access to Facebook and will only let you through after you successfully answer a few questions given by the roadblock system.

First of all, everybody knows how lame this roadblock system is and also how stupid Facebook tagging system is. The roadblock system actually ask me to identify my friends tagged in their own pictures before i can access my account. Best part is i need to get 5 pictures correct out of 7. Do you want to know what pictures was actually shown to me? Check below!

This are just 2 of the other 3 pictures of my friend that i got. How the hell would i know who were tagged in this pictures? I can’t even refer back, since i can’t access my account until i get this right! Damn! First of all, tagging was introduced on Facebook to identify people, not as a way to send message to people. Facebook’s tagging system has been a joke ever since it was introduced as anyone can tag you as anything without getting your approval first. Secondly to Facebook please try to find another concept to your roadblock stupid, cause the method you have now is damn STUPID!

    Can you tell me how to get out of this issue …. I am not able to login from past 4 days :(

    There is no way, you need to pass the stupid roadblock system.

    I’m in the same boat sort of.
    It keeps asking me to register my mobile phone and since I don’t own one I can’t really do that. So yeah, pretty much screwed.

  • omg

    yeah I agree… although the library computers have this problem only like 1% of the time, when it does come, i’m screwed. You need like two accounts in the hope that you use one to check for the other

    Maybe it is about time they changed their roadblock system!

    How about everyone get a class action suit going against facebook for the ssl roadblock scam of gleaning phone info etc from its users. I’d say they provide a service with intent to support but dont support it and cause gross suffering and anguish. Someone get hold of a pro bono lawyer and hit them where it hurts..$$$$$$ .. they are gonna sell FB anyway and the new owners will start charging anyway.

    I have been dealing with the same issue, I am on a modem, facebook let me set up my account using me email address, now it wont let me back into my account while it is letting other people I dont even know, post on my facebook page… I have begged facebook for help, it tells me to use my paint program and save its log in validation garbage to my desktop… I am using an aol browser, and tried to disconnect long enough for my modem to let my phone dial through, by the time I got reconnected with the code using my aol dial up modem, I put the code in facebook and facebook said it had expired… I even used a friends mobile phone, he could not hear give the code the 1st time, we tried again, then facebook said I tried to many times, to try again later…
    before it would send the code to my email, then ask for a mobile phone number, that I dont have to get back in…
    again I am on a modem and do not own a mobile phone or nor can I borrow someone elses while trying to put up with the annoying run around from facebook…ssl.facebook.roadblock. I think facebook should be sues for letting everyone else post on my facebook page while keeping me from having controll or access to my facebook page

  • Susan

    typo meant they should be sued, like consumer complaint class action lawsuit, because I am fed up with the fact they wont let me back into my own page, other people are posting to it and that fact is coming into my email,,, also they send validation to my email, but no link to get back into facebook, without going through the annoying roadblock, I AM ANGRY…!

    Happened to me last week. I am now forwarding this post to everyone I know. I would suggest all of you do the same and forward it to FaceBook too. If these cumwads do this or refuse to fix this problem then let FaceBook go the way Tribe.net went.

    Onward!

  • http://www.hiddendragonz.tk xyz

    Yeah the same happened to me. Facebook should remove this bloody feature called Roadblock.

  • annoying user

    I could only try to identify a friend once in an hour… seriously, this is more secure than my online banking. given that I have a limited access time in internet coffees while on the go, What’s the chance for me to update my face during my travel. I am seriously considering quiting Facebook altogether. It’s annoying the Sh_t out of me.

  • http://ramesh.ws ramesh

    I am also actually considering moving out and already on my way actually. It’s irritating me to tagged on other person’s photos. I am bored of facebook!

  • ugh
