Facebook Disabled My Account
My Facebook Is Deactivated
Visualize my shock when I tried to sign right into Facebook one early morning just to get the following message:
My account was disabled? What does that also suggest?
I attempted to visit with an additional browser and I obtained the exact same message. Facebook impaired my account!
Facebook provided a type submission web page for those wishing to contact Facebook regarding their disabled account, and also I emailed them basically asking why my account was handicapped and also just how I can get accessibility back to the numerous web pages I'm an admin for. I described that I take care of a range of pages for clients, as well as was always conscious about the content I uploaded-- nevertheless, my moms and dads get on Facebook as well.
After sending the e-mail to Facebook, I sent out an email to the pals who's email addresses I in fact had as well as explained what took place. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, a lot of my friends were just able to be contacted 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 because you uploaded political things (I such as Ron Paul and common material concerning #OWS).
- Possibly somebody flagged you.
I read up on several of the short articles by others that have had their accounts disabled to learn why mine was instantly pulled-- without alerting I should add. The posting dates on the articles cover the life time of Facebook, revealing that the business has actually permanently been on a behind-the-scenes project of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I discovered some posts by famous blog writers or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Most of these high-profiled Facebook individuals had their accounts and/or web pages reabled soon after Facebook found who they disabled. For the rest of us, we're basically on our own.
Reading these articles didn't impart much hope in me or my circumstance. The awareness of what I shed was starting to embed in also.
Over the years I had computer systems collision, taken, shed, etc. and also rely upon Facebook to organize all my travel and event photos. The site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not publish all my pictures on Facebook for my friends and also family members to view at their discernment? There were well over 2000 images, many video clips, post (notes), plus all the calls (I still haven't had the ability to reconnect with many who were all shed when Facebook impaired my account). This was seeming an extremely stark situation as I further realized simply what was shed.
I had to regain access to Facebook to take care of the web pages for my customers, as well as likewise for my own business. Many of my pages' admin accessibility were shared with a partner as well as were easily held up up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly produced, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the brand-new account.
Some of the Facebook pages admin access were shown to my clients, whom I had to get in touch with to have them re-add me with my new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account get disabled?" as well as rightfully so. I, also, would examine the person I paid to manage my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Wouldn't you?
I still don't have an answer to that inquiry. "I have no suggestion" is the response I still offer, due to the fact that its true. Facebook has still yet to offer me a reason that my account was handicapped. After checking out the factors Facebook disabled accounts on their web page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add individuals, message sexual content, pester anyone. so why they erased me really did not make good sense. Only after I review various other articles did I comprehend a little bit more.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is various than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the exact same, but meant different than the remainder of my family. I likewise had a client who just recently made use of a contest promo to raise their e-mail list. According to Facebook promotional guidelines, competitions can just be run on Facebook with either apps: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook web page and it was gone too. Aha!
Although the competition had not been precisely held on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's site), and also the victor was alerted via e-mail (you can not introduce winners on your wall surface), I was confident this was the angering activity which had me ushered off Facebook without even a 'Bye-bye'.
At this moment it had to do with a week considering that I initially wrote Facebook that fateful morning, and I still had not received a reply. I revisited the page allowing me to call Facebook, and explained that I now had a better suggestion regarding why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I swore never to do something like that once more (was it really that poor??) if they simply reable my account.
I sent that off and waited once again. After a few more days I recognized something. something extremely essential-- I produced a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would have never ever gotten the email because it was set to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Severe.
So I sent one more email to Facebook, this moment letting them recognize that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me before this e-mail, I would certainly have never obtained it.
A couple of days later on I ultimately received an email from Javier at Facebook. Right here's the only reaction 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
User Operations
What a juvenile reaction-- sure Facebook is a 'young' business, however I make certain there should be somebody there with better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- don't email us once more.' ALRIGHT Facebook.
So what did I pick up from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never ever understand if/when they'll choose to delete you.
2. Do not manage your various customer's pages with the same account. If one page/account gets erased, you will not lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are snobs who's accounts are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Add as a buddy" switch making it impossible to re-add them.
Its been about a month given that I had my account impaired, and had lots of time to reflect on the experience. I haven't tried to call Facebook directly because I obtained the email from Javier, yet I did start the site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the unfavorable experience.
Do I desire Facebook to transform their disabling plan? Nope.
I take care of a few MU sites and if you desire somebody off your site, of course remove them/block them/whatever. But also for Facebook to disable the account as well as to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would certainly Facebook be if no one uploaded content onto the website-- No photos to share or tag-- No articles to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook ought to enable those who they disabled to download their account, letting them fetch their photos/videos/notes/ etc., prior to going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their good friends standing updates (as opposed to 'Suching as' it). Facebook already makes it possible for an active account to be downloaded, so why not a handicapped account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a little bit more mature in this field-- especially with their IPO revealed. I'm in fact considering buying stock just so they will have to pay attention to my problem-- at the very least I'll make money from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, and if so how?
