Facebook Disabled My Account
Facebook Account Deactivated
Imagine my shock when I attempted to sign into Facebook one early morning only to get the adhering to message:
My account was disabled? What does that even imply?
I tried to log in with another web browser and also I got the very same message. Facebook handicapped my account!
Facebook supplied a kind entry web page for those wishing to contact Facebook regarding their handicapped account, as well as I emailed them generally asking why my account was handicapped as well as just how I can get access back to the many web pages I'm an admin for. I discussed that I manage a variety of web pages for clients, and was always conscious about the content I posted-- nevertheless, my parents get on Facebook too.
After sending out the email to Facebook, I sent out an email to the good friends that's email addresses I in fact had as well as described what took place. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were just able to be spoken to by me on Facebook.
The replies I obtained from that email were categorized right into 3 various categories:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you uploaded political things (I such as Ron Paul and also shared content about #OWS).
- Perhaps somebody flagged you.
I read up on several of the articles by others that have had their accounts impaired to learn why mine was instantly pulled-- without cautioning I must include. The publishing dates on the articles span the lifetime of Facebook, showing that the business has actually for life been on a behind-the-scenes project of disabling accounts at their discernment.
I found some articles by well-known blog owners or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). A number of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their profiles and/or web pages reabled right after Facebook found who they disabled. For the rest of us, we're primarily on our own.
Reviewing these short articles didn't infuse much hope in me or my scenario. The realization of what I shed was starting to embed in too.
Throughout the years I had computers accident, taken, lost, and so on and rely upon Facebook to host all my traveling as well as celebration images. The website isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not publish all my photos on Facebook for my friends and family members to view at their discernment? There were well over 2000 images, numerous videos, article (notes), plus all the contacts (I still haven't been able to reconnect with numerous who were all lost when Facebook handicapped my account). This was looking to be an extremely stark circumstance as I additionally understood simply what was shed.
I had to restore access to Facebook to manage the pages for my clients, as well as also for my own ventures. Much of my web pages' admin accessibility were shown a companion and also were quickly set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly developed, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the brand-new account.
Several of the Facebook pages admin gain access to were shown to my customers, whom I needed to get in touch with to have them re-add me with my new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" as well as rightfully so. I, also, would certainly question the individual I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Wouldn't you?
I still don't have a solution to that inquiry. "I have no idea" is the solution I still give, due to the fact that its real. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was impaired. After reading the reasons Facebook handicapped accounts on their page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add people, message sexual content, bug any person. so why they erased me didn't make sense. Just after I read other posts did I recognize a little bit extra.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, yet not by much. It was still phonetically the same, but spelled various than the rest of my family. I likewise had a client that lately used a contest promo to raise their email checklist. According to Facebook advertising guidelines, contests can just be worked on Facebook via one of two applications: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook web page as well as it was gone also. Aha!
Although the competition had not been specifically held on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's site), and also the champion was notified via email (you can not introduce winners on your wall surface), I was confident this was the offending activity which had me brought in off Facebook without so much as a 'Adieu'.
Now it was about a week given that I initially created Facebook that fateful morning, and I still had not gotten a reply. I reviewed the page allowing me to contact Facebook, as well as described that I currently had a much better idea regarding why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I promised never ever to do something like that again (was it truly that negative??) if they simply reable my account.
I sent that off and waited once again. After a few even more days I recognized something. something extremely important-- I created a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never ever received the e-mail because it was readied to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Severe.
So I sent another e-mail to Facebook, this moment letting them know that I had a filter on my gmail and if they did call me before this email, I would have never ever gotten it.
A few days later I ultimately got an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Here's the only action I'll likely receive 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' company, yet I make certain there should be somebody there with far better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us once more.' OKAY Facebook.
So what did I pick up from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never understand if/when they'll make a decision to delete you.
2. Don't manage your different client's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account gets removed, you won't lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are snobs who's profiles are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Add as a close friend" button making it impossible to re-add them.
Its been about a month considering that I had my account impaired, as well as had lots of time to reflect on the experience. I have not tried to contact Facebook straight because I obtained the e-mail from Javier, but I did begin the site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, as well as the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to draw attention to the unfavorable experience.
Do I want Facebook to change their disabling plan? Nope.
I take care of a couple of MU sites as well as if you desire a person off your website, by all means erase them/block them/whatever. But for Facebook to disable the account and to keep the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if nobody uploaded content onto the site-- No images to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should permit those that they disabled to download their account, letting them fetch their photos/videos/notes/ etc., prior to going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their pals status updates (rather than 'Liking' it). Facebook already makes it feasible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a little bit elder around-- specifically with their IPO announced. I'm actually considering buying stock just so they will certainly have to listen to my complaint-- at the minimum I'll make money from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, as well as if so exactly how?
