are you bait and switching? Are you direct linking (network domain url could be flagged)? (Your tracking domain could be flagged as well, check mywot etc) What are you running? Are you Cloaking? Is it your second or third account etc? Have you been banned before?

i also experience the same problem couple of days back. in my case it was because the offer was redirecting for US traffic to some other offer while my targeted country was uk. it was showing the redirected offer url in fb ads.

I think the tracker domain is flagged.

as in the tracking for the network aka direct linking, what is the best way around this besides using your own domain, I have many but do things like tinyurl etc fly?

So annoying to have a successful campaign pause every 5 hours

If your ads are auto-paused, the domain has been blacklisted. Simply set up your own tracking or different network.

auto-pausing is because the system noticed that the destination you submitted with is not the current destination... It is happening to me right now, I am running an offer in a country and if someone outside of that country clicks on the offer then it redirects them to an adult offer causing the user to get upset and Facebook pausing my ad.

I am still trying to figure out why I am getting visitors outside of the country I am targeting

My ads didn't get paused but they just stopped showing completely. Is this the same type of penalty? I can't get impressions no matter how high I bid or what budget I put but the ads still show active. Only thing I did was change an iframe tab to stop redirecting outside of facebook and instead iframed the offer inside the tab.
