If they notice that you’re sharing the same information in every group you post in, it’s very likely that you’ll get suffer a ban from Facebook.

Create original content, users are often blocked because they've used images from googles search results, which has already been marked as spam. Also if you have found that image on a search engine result, you may find that several others are using it also to post on Facebook. This then leads to Facebook marking it as spam.

Keep it personal and be careful with who you tag in your posts. Make sure your Facebook is honest and true to yourself. If your user profile appears to look fake or not genuine this may lead to your being reported. Facebook will then block your Facebook account.

Other types of behaviour that bring out the Facebook Police are; adding people to groups without their consent, posting on Facebook pages with non-personal profiles, bulk group adding and friend requests.
