Facebook is keen on detecting automation (bot-like) activities. For example it keeps track of your mouse movement to see if your are a human or a bot.
I wonder whether Facebook can detect you are using an automated script and might trigger checkpoint soon.
There are pretty many bots on the Internet, but I wonder how many work without being detected by Facebook.
Your account might get banned if you post to your groups too much or too fast, or if Facebook deem your account as bot-like or suspicious. Facebook is crazy at hunting down "suspicious" accounts now.

Yep I think you're right, I managed to post to 50+ groups several tmes a day for week or so, then I started getting my posts listed as spam and then eventually facebook blocked me from posting for a week, i'm incorporating some random mouse movements into the script to see if that helps.
Did you post to 50+ groups with the same post, or each unique post to each group (50+ in total)?
Beware! Facebook might ban your account next time your account get flagged again. Even after the temporary posting block expires, the limit won't go back to normal.
Facebook appears to further lower the number of posts which one account can safely make or share each day.
I have several accounts being checkpointed recently due to sharing posts to groups. Some went straight to asking for phone numbers and photos, some temporary posting ban (and then phone numbers and photo test). None of them passed. :"(

Ahh thanks for the heads up man. Stupidly no, I didn't spin my posts at all, same post to 50+ groups! In hindsight I'm amazed I didn't get limited sooner.
I'll be adding some spintax stuff into the AutoIT script to make the post unique and also add in some random mouse movements and what not. I will also be randomising the post time (1 post per 15 - 60 minutes).
I'll do some testing but I'm happy to treat this account as collateral damage and if I lose it, time to make a new one and start again.

Id recommend getting a secondary admin account for the groups and mass inviting him to all of them, that way you can mass mesage on that account, and if it gets banned you still keeps the groups and everything on your main one without issues and can still track updates, and then readd another admin after he gets banned
