Facebook Disabled My Account
My Facebook Is Deactivated
Envision my surprise when I tried to sign right into Facebook one morning just to receive the following message:
My account was disabled? What does that also imply?
I attempted to visit with another internet browser as well as I got the very same message. Facebook handicapped my account!
Facebook provided a type entry page for those desiring to write to Facebook concerning their handicapped account, and also I emailed them essentially asking why my account was disabled and also just how I can get gain access to back to the numerous web pages I'm an admin for. I described that I manage a selection of web pages for customers, and also was always mindful regarding the content I posted-- besides, my parents get on Facebook also.
After sending the e-mail to Facebook, I sent out an e-mail to the pals that's e-mail addresses I actually had and also discussed what happened. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were only able to be spoken to by me on Facebook.
The replies I got from that email were identified right into 3 different classifications:
- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it since you published political things (I like Ron Paul and common web content concerning #OWS).
- Perhaps somebody flagged you.
I check out some of the short articles by others who have actually had their accounts impaired to learn why mine was unexpectedly drawn-- without warning I ought to include. The posting days on the articles span the life time of Facebook, revealing that the business has actually permanently been on a behind the curtain campaign of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I discovered some posts by well-known blog owners or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and also Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Many of these high-profiled Facebook users had their accounts and/or pages reabled right after Facebook discovered that they disabled. For the remainder people, we're essentially on our very own.
Checking out these short articles didn't instill much hope in me or my scenario. The awareness of what I lost was beginning to embed in also.
Over the years I had computers collision, swiped, lost, and so on as well as relied on Facebook to host all my travel and celebration pictures. The website isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not upload all my images on Facebook for my friends and family to view at their discernment? There were well over 2000 pictures, many video clips, post (notes), plus all the contacts (I still have not had the ability to reconnect with several that were all shed when Facebook disabled my account). This was seeming an extremely stark scenario as I further recognized just what was lost.
I had to restore accessibility to Facebook to handle the pages for my clients, and additionally for my very own ventures. Most of my pages' admin accessibility were shown to a partner and were easily set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly developed, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the brand-new account.
A few of the Facebook web pages admin accessibility were shown my customers, whom I had to get in touch with to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" and also truly so. I, as well, would certainly examine the individual I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Would not you?
I still do not have a solution to that concern. "I have no idea" is the solution I still offer, due to the fact that its real. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason my account was handicapped. After reviewing the factors Facebook handicapped accounts on their page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add individuals, post sexual material, bug any person. so why they deleted me didn't make sense. Just after I review various other short articles did I understand a little bit much more.
Facebook can disable your account if your screen name is various than that on your birth certification. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, but spelled various than the remainder of my family members. I likewise had a client who recently made use of a competition promotion to raise their e-mail checklist. According to Facebook advertising standards, contests can only be run on Facebook through either apps: ShortStack and also WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that customer's Facebook web page and also it was gone also. Aha!
Although the competition had not been precisely organized on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's internet site), and also the victor was alerted via email (you can not reveal winners on your wall), I was confident this was the annoying action which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Bye-bye'.
At this point it was about a week because I at first composed Facebook that eventful morning, as well as I still had not gotten a reply. I took another look at the page enabling me to get in touch with Facebook, and also explained that I now had a better concept concerning why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I promised never ever to do something like that once more (was it really that poor??) if they just reable my account.
I sent that off as well as waited once more. After a few more days I recognized something. something really important-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never obtained the email since it was set to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Harsh.
So I sent out one more email to Facebook, this moment letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me prior to this e-mail, I would certainly have never ever obtained it.
A few days later I finally got an email from Javier at Facebook. Right here's the only response I'll likely obtain from Facebook:.
Hi,
Unfortunately, your account has been permanently disabled for violating Facebook’s Terms. We will not reactivate it for any reason.
This will be our last email regarding your account. For more information about our policies, please read the Facebook Community Standards: https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/
Thanks,
Javier

What a juvenile reaction-- certain Facebook is a 'young' firm, but I'm sure there should be someone there with much better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us once more.' OK Facebook.
So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never know if/when they'll choose to delete you.
2. Don't handle your numerous client's pages with the same account. If one page/account gets removed, you won't lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders who's accounts are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Include as a good friend" button making it difficult to re-add them.
Its been about a month since I had my account disabled, and also had lots of time to review the experience. I haven't tried to get in touch with Facebook straight given that I obtained the e-mail from Javier, but I did begin the website www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, as well as the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the unfavorable experience.
Do I desire Facebook to transform their disabling policy? Nope.
I manage a few MU websites and if you desire somebody off your website, by all means erase them/block them/whatever. But also for Facebook to disable the account and also to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if no one uploaded web content onto the site-- No pictures to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should allow those who they disabled to download their account, letting them recover their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, prior to going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their friends status updates (rather than 'Liking' it). Facebook currently makes it possible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a bit elder in this area-- especially with their IPO revealed. I'm really thinking about buying stock just so they will certainly have to listen to my complaint-- at the very least I'll benefit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account disabled? Did you get it back, and if so exactly how?
