Not even sure how that whole progress works but when they asked for my defense about what I posted, and input about the 'alert', I pulled no punches and still never saw any recriminations.

I strongly suspect I was alerted on by someone I should have known better than to accept a friend request. I've since blocked her from seeing anything I post. When I ran into her, a few months back, she was unusually stand offish so that pretty much nailed it, for me.

I've sent alerts when I was directly threatened, by someone, and FB basically told me that didn't violate their 'community standards' so maybe I should consider blocking that individual.

Apparently it all depends on who reviews the post and/or alert.

I have not done a post there for weeks and can't this morning.

Oops
Something went wrong. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can.


If you are "in jail" they tell you.

"Facebook Will Be Back Soon
Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes. In the meantime, read more about why you're seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site."

Probably technical problems due to the amount of postings regarding the recent shootings. Nothing I post is getting through.

I think you're getting alerted/banned because the titles are too obvious and provocative. However make your titles less provocative, so they have to actually read the post to know whether it's anti-Chump or not. Your friends who follow you will already know of course, but the trolls who go around alerting on people won't bother 99% of the time.
