Facebook Disabled My Account | New 2019

To say that Facebook plays a big component in my life is a little an exaggeration-- as I make certain it is for any other social media supervisor. Not only do I utilize it to correspond with loved ones-- yet I'm for life adding content to one of the many web pages I admin, whether for myself or for customers.

Facebook Disabled My Account

Picture my shock when I tried to sign right into Facebook one early morning only to receive the following message:

My account was disabled? What does that even imply?

I attempted to visit with an additional browser and also I obtained the very same message. Facebook disabled my account!

Facebook provided a form entry web page for those wanting to write to Facebook regarding their impaired account, as well as I emailed them essentially asking why my account was impaired and also how I can get gain access to back to the numerous pages I'm an admin for. I described that I take care of a variety of web pages for customers, and was always mindful regarding the material I uploaded-- besides, my moms and dads get on Facebook also.

After sending out the e-mail to Facebook, I sent out an email to the buddies who's e-mail addresses I actually had and discussed what happened. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were only able to be gotten in touch with by me on Facebook.

The replies I received from that e-mail were identified right into three various groups:

- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it since you posted political stuff (I such as Ron Paul as well as common material about #OWS).
- Maybe someone flagged you.

I check out some of the posts by others that have actually had their accounts disabled to learn why my own was suddenly drawn-- without advising I need to include. The posting days on the articles span the lifetime of Facebook, showing that the firm has permanently been on a behind-the-scenes project of disabling accounts at their discretion.

I found some short articles by famous blog owners or journalists, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Much of these high-profiled Facebook users had their accounts and/or pages reabled not long after Facebook uncovered that they disabled. For the remainder of us, we're basically on our very own.

Reading these write-ups really did not instill much hope in me or my circumstance. The awareness of what I lost was starting to set in also.

For many years I had computer systems accident, swiped, lost, etc. and also depend on Facebook to host all my traveling as well as celebration pictures. The site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not upload all my photos on Facebook for my friends and family to watch at their discernment? There were more than 2000 photos, many video clips, blog posts (notes), plus all the calls (I still have not been able to reconnect with many who were all shed when Facebook disabled my account). This was seeming an extremely grim scenario as I additionally understood simply what was shed.

I needed to restore accessibility to Facebook to handle the pages for my customers, and likewise for my very own enterprises. A lot of my pages' admin gain access to were shown a partner and also were easily held up up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly developed, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the new account.

Several of the Facebook web pages admin access were shared with my clients, whom I had to get in touch with to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. All of them asked "Why did your account get disabled?" as well as truly so. I, too, would certainly question the person I paid to manage my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Would not you?

I still don't have a solution to that concern. "I have no concept" is the answer I still give, since its true. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was disabled. After reading the factors Facebook handicapped accounts on their web page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add individuals, message sex-related material, bug anyone. so why they erased me didn't make sense. Only after I check out various other articles did I comprehend a little bit more.

Facebook can disable your account if your screen name is different than that on your birth certification. Mine was, however not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, yet led to various than the rest of my family. I also had a client who just recently made use of a contest promotion to boost their e-mail listing. According to Facebook marketing standards, contests can only be run on Facebook via a couple of apps: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that customer's Facebook web page as well as it was gone also. Aha!

Although the competition had not been exactly organized on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's internet site), and also the victor was alerted via email (you can not reveal champions on your wall surface), I was confident this was the annoying action which had me brought in off Facebook without so much as a 'Au revoir'.

Now it was about a week considering that I originally wrote Facebook that eventful morning, and also I still hadn't received a reply. I reviewed the web page enabling me to speak to Facebook, and also described that I currently had a better idea concerning why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I swore never to do something like that once again (was it really that poor??) if they simply reable my account.

I sent that off as well as waited once again. After a few more days I realized something. something really essential-- I produced a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never received the e-mail because it was set to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Severe.

So I sent one more e-mail to Facebook, this time around letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail and also if they did contact me before this email, I would have never received it.

A few days later on I finally obtained an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Here's the only action I'll likely get 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,

What an adolescent feedback-- certain Facebook is a 'young' firm, yet I make sure there need to be someone there with better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us once again.' OKAY Facebook.

So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook?

1. Back up your account! You never recognize if/when they'll decide to erase you.
2. Do not manage your numerous customer's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account obtains deleted, you will not shed them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are snobs that's accounts are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Include as a friend" button making it difficult to re-add them.

Its had to do with a month given that I had my account impaired, as well as had lots of time to reflect on the experience. I have not attempted to speak to Facebook directly given that I received the e-mail from Javier, but I did begin the internet site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and also the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the negative experience.

Do I want Facebook to change their disabling policy? Nope.

I handle a couple of MU websites as well as if you want someone off your site, by all means erase them/block them/whatever. But also for Facebook to disable the account as well as to keep the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if nobody uploaded material onto the site-- No pictures to share or tag-- No short articles to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would be NOTHING.

Facebook should enable those who they disabled to download their account, letting them recover their photos/videos/notes/ etc., prior to going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their pals standing updates (rather than 'Suching as' it). Facebook currently makes it feasible for an active account to be downloaded, so why not a handicapped account?

It's time for Facebook to get a bit more mature in this area-- especially with their IPO introduced. I'm really thinking about buying stock just so they will have to listen to my problem-- at least I'll profit from them.

Have you had your Facebook account disabled? Did you get it back, and if so just how?
