I have an author page that has exploded over the past week with the release of my book. I reached my friend limit quickly and wanted to convert it to a page instead of a profile.. I tried to do this and it kept telling me that I couldn't. I was made to re sign in with my phone number for a code. I attempted to convert yet again and was asked to verify who I was once again by uploading a picture. Once they accepted the pic, was told they would let me know their decision. Now that account is deactivated and I am worried I will lose it. Why would they do that in the first place? Only a day ago as well they deactivated my confirm button insisting I was trying to send friend requests to people I didn't know, when all I was doing was trying to confirm the requests I had. I wanted to carry all the new ones over to my page to help grow my fan base but now fear I will have to start over. ANY guidance in what to expect will be greatly appreciated.
