Disabled Facebook Account | New 2019

To state that Facebook plays a huge component in my life is a little bit of an exaggeration-- as I make sure it is for any other social media sites manager. Not only do I use it to interact with loved ones-- however I'm for life adding material to among the many web pages I admin, whether for myself or for customers.

Disabled Facebook Account

Imagine my surprise when I tried to sign into Facebook one morning just to receive the following message:

My account was disabled? What does that even indicate?

I tried to log in with an additional web browser and also I obtained the very same message. Facebook disabled my account!

Facebook provided a type submission page for those wanting to contact Facebook regarding their impaired account, and also I emailed them primarily asking why my account was impaired and also exactly how I can get gain access to back to the countless pages I'm an admin for. I clarified that I take care of a range of pages for customers, and also was always mindful concerning the material I published-- after all, my parents get on Facebook too.

After sending out the email to Facebook, I sent out an email to the pals who's email addresses I really had as well as clarified what occurred. 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 email were classified into 3 different categories:

- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you uploaded political stuff (I like Ron Paul and shared material about #OWS).
- Perhaps someone flagged you.

I check out a few of the posts by others who have actually had their accounts handicapped to discover why my own was all of a sudden pulled-- without warning I should add. The publishing dates on the write-ups extend the life time of Facebook, showing that the company has permanently gotten on a behind-the-scenes project of disabling accounts at their discretion.

I found some articles by popular blog writers or journalists, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Many of these high-profiled Facebook users had their accounts and/or web pages reabled right after Facebook discovered who they disabled. For the remainder people, we're basically on our very own.

Checking out these write-ups didn't impart much hope in me or my circumstance. The understanding of what I shed was starting to embed in also.

For many years I had computer systems collision, stolen, lost, etc. and also depend on Facebook to organize all my travel and also celebration pictures. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not upload all my photos on Facebook for my friends and family members to check out at their discernment? There were more than 2000 pictures, numerous videos, article (notes), plus all the calls (I still have not had the ability to reconnect with numerous who were all lost when Facebook impaired my account). This was seeming an extremely stark circumstance as I additionally recognized simply what was lost.

I had to regain accessibility to Facebook to manage the web pages for my customers, and likewise for my own ventures. A number of my pages' admin access were shown a companion and also were easily set back up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly produced, cursing Facebook under my breath as I set up the brand-new account.

A few of the Facebook pages admin accessibility were shown my clients, whom I needed to call to have them re-add me with my new account. All of them asked "Why did your account get disabled?" as well as truly so. I, also, would examine the individual I paid to manage my Facebook page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Wouldn't you?

I still don't have an answer to that concern. "I have no idea" is the response I still offer, because its real. Facebook has still yet to offer me a reason my account was disabled. After reading the reasons Facebook impaired accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add people, post sex-related content, bug anybody. so why they erased me really did not make sense. Only after I read other short articles did I understand a little bit a lot more.

Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certification. Mine was, yet not by much. It was still phonetically the exact same, yet meant various than the rest of my family. I likewise had a client that lately made use of a contest promotion to boost their email checklist. According to Facebook advertising guidelines, competitions can just be worked on Facebook with either apps: ShortStack and also WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that client's Facebook page and it was gone also. Aha!

Although the contest wasn't precisely held on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's internet site), and also the victor was informed by means of e-mail (you can not reveal victors on your wall), I was confident this was the offending action which had me brought in off Facebook without even a 'Bye-bye'.

At this moment it was about a week considering that I initially created Facebook that fateful morning, and I still had not received a reply. I reviewed the page enabling me to contact Facebook, and explained 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 once more (was it really that negative??) if they simply reable my account.

I sent out that off and also waited once more. After a couple of more days I understood something. something extremely essential-- I produced a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never ever gotten the email since it was set to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Rough.

So I sent an additional email to Facebook, this time around letting them know that I had a filter on my gmail and if they did contact me prior to this e-mail, I would have never obtained it.

A couple of days later I ultimately obtained an email from Javier at Facebook. Right 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-- sure Facebook is a 'young' business, however I make certain there must be someone there with much better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- don't email us once again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.

So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook?

1. Back up your account! You never recognize if/when they'll choose to erase you.
2. Do not manage your numerous customer's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account obtains erased, you won't lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders that's accounts are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Add as a good friend" switch making it impossible to re-add them.

Its had to do with a month given that I had my account handicapped, as well as had great deals of time to review the experience. I have not tried to speak to Facebook straight because I received the e-mail from Javier, but I did begin the website www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and also the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the negative experience.

Do I desire Facebook to alter their disabling plan? Nope.

I take care of a few MU websites and also if you desire somebody off your website, by all means delete them/block them/whatever. But also for Facebook to disable the account as well as to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog messages, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if no one 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 needs to permit those that 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 (in contrast to 'Liking' it). Facebook currently makes it feasible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?

It's time for Facebook to get a little bit more mature in this field-- especially with their IPO introduced. I'm actually considering buying stock so they will certainly need to pay attention to my issue-- at the very least I'll make money from them.

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