My Facebook Account Was Disabled Update 2019

To claim that Facebook plays a large part in my life is a little bit of an understatement-- as I make sure it is for any other social media sites manager. Not only do I use it to communicate with loved ones-- however I'm for life including web content to among the many web pages I admin, whether for myself or for customers.

My Facebook Account Was Disabled

Envision my surprise when I tried to authorize right into Facebook one morning only to get the adhering to message:

My account was disabled? What does that even suggest?

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

Facebook provided a type entry web page for those wishing to write to Facebook regarding their handicapped account, as well as I emailed them essentially asking why my account was handicapped as well as how I can obtain accessibility back to the numerous web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I handle a range of pages for customers, as well as was constantly conscious about the web content I posted-- nevertheless, my moms and dads get on Facebook as well.

After sending the email to Facebook, I sent out an email to the buddies that's e-mail addresses I really had and discussed 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 e-mail were classified right into three different categories:

- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it since you posted political stuff (I like Ron Paul and also shared material about #OWS).
- Perhaps somebody flagged you.

I research some of the posts by others that have actually had their accounts impaired to discover why my own was all of a sudden drawn-- without warning I must add. The publishing dates on the articles extend the life time of Facebook, revealing that the company has forever been on a behind the curtain project of disabling accounts at their discernment.

I located some short articles by famous blog owners or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). A lot of these high-profiled Facebook users had their accounts and/or pages reabled right after Facebook found that they disabled. For the rest of us, we're generally on our very own.

Checking out these posts really did not infuse much hope in me or my situation. The awareness of what I lost was beginning to set in too.

For many years I had computers collision, stolen, lost, and so on and rely upon Facebook to organize all my traveling and also celebration images. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not submit all my images on Facebook for my friends and also household to see at their discretion? There were more than 2000 photos, plenty of video clips, blog posts (notes), plus all the calls (I still haven't been able to reconnect with many who were all lost when Facebook disabled my account). This was looking to be a very bleak circumstance as I better understood just what was lost.

I had to reclaim access to Facebook to manage the pages for my clients, as well as also for my very own enterprises. A lot of my pages' admin gain access to were shown to a partner as well as were quickly 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 accessibility were shown to my clients, whom I needed to contact to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. All of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" and rightfully so. I, as well, would certainly question the person I paid to manage my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Would not you?

I still do not have a response to that concern. "I have no idea" is the answer I still provide, because its real. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was disabled. After reviewing the factors Facebook impaired accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add individuals, article sex-related web content, pester any individual. so why they removed me really did not make good sense. Just after I check out various other articles did I understand a bit much more.

Facebook can disable your account if your screen name is different than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, however not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, yet meant different than the rest of my household. I additionally had a client who recently utilized a contest promo to raise their email listing. According to Facebook advertising standards, contests can only be operated on Facebook with a couple of applications: ShortStack and also 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 wasn't precisely held on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's internet site), and also the champion was alerted using email (you can not announce winners on your wall), I was certain this was the offending activity which had me brought in off Facebook without even a 'Adieu'.

At this moment it was about a week because I originally wrote Facebook that eventful morning, and I still had not obtained a reply. I reviewed the web page enabling me to contact Facebook, as well as clarified that I now had a much better suggestion regarding why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I promised never ever to do something like that once again (was it truly that negative??) if they simply reable my account.

I sent out that off as well as waited once again. After a couple of even more days I recognized something. something extremely crucial-- I developed 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 "Miss Inbox/Delete". Extreme.

So I sent out another e-mail to Facebook, this moment letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did call me prior to this email, I would have never gotten it.

A few days later I lastly received an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Right here's the only feedback 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 action-- sure Facebook is a 'young' business, however I make sure there have to be a person there with far better tact than 'we're not going to reable your account-- do not email us once again.' OK Facebook.

So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook?

1. Back up your account! You never know if/when they'll determine to delete you.
2. Do not manage your numerous customer's pages with the very same account. If one page/account obtains removed, you will not lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are snobs that's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Include as a good friend" button making it impossible to re-add them.

Its been about 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 get in touch with Facebook directly considering that I received the e-mail from Javier, but I did start the web site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the negative experience.

Do I desire Facebook to transform their disabling policy? Nope.

I handle a few MU sites and if you want somebody off your site, of course remove them/block them/whatever. However, 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 nobody uploaded material onto the website-- No images to share or tag-- No short articles to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be NOTHING.

Facebook must permit those who they disabled to download their account, letting them recover their photos/videos/notes/ etc., prior to going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their friends standing updates (as opposed to 'Suching as' it). Facebook already makes it possible for an energetic account to be downloaded and install, so why not a disabled account?

It's time for Facebook to get a little bit elder in this field-- particularly with their IPO announced. I'm in fact thinking about buying stock so they will certainly need 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 also if so just how?
