Facebook Disabled My Account
When A Facebook Account Is Deactivated
Visualize my surprise when I tried to sign into Facebook one morning only to receive the following message:
My account was disabled? What does that even indicate?
I attempted to log in with an additional browser as well as I got the same message. Facebook disabled my account!
Facebook provided a form entry page for those desiring to contact Facebook concerning their handicapped account, and I emailed them basically asking why my account was handicapped and also how I can get accessibility back to the many pages I'm an admin for. I described that I take care of a variety of pages for customers, and was always conscious concerning the content I posted-- after all, my moms and dads are on Facebook also.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent an e-mail to the close friends who's email addresses I actually had as well as explained what took place. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were just able to be called by me on Facebook.
The replies I obtained from that email were categorized into 3 various categories:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it because you published political stuff (I such as Ron Paul as well as shared web content concerning #OWS).
- Possibly someone flagged you.
I read up on a few of the short articles by others that have had their accounts handicapped to learn why my own was all of a sudden drawn-- without warning I ought to add. The posting dates on the posts extend the life time of Facebook, revealing that the firm has forever gotten on a behind the curtain project of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I discovered some articles by renowned blog writers or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Many of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their accounts and/or web pages reabled not long after Facebook found who they disabled. For the rest people, we're primarily on our very own.
Checking out these short articles didn't impart much hope in me or my scenario. The awareness of what I lost was starting to set in as well.
Throughout the years I had computer systems accident, stolen, shed, and so on and relied on Facebook to host all my travel and also event images. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not publish all my images on Facebook for my friends and household to see at their discretion? There were well over 2000 images, many videos, post (notes), plus all the get in touches with (I still have not had the ability to reconnect with lots of that were all shed when Facebook disabled my account). This was looking to be a really stark circumstance as I additionally realized simply what was lost.
I had to regain accessibility to Facebook to handle the pages for my customers, as well as additionally for my own enterprises. A number of my pages' admin accessibility were shown to a partner as well as were easily set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I set up the new account.
Several of the Facebook pages admin accessibility were shown to my customers, whom I had to call to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. All of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" and also truly so. I, also, would certainly examine the individual I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Wouldn't you?
I still do not have a solution to that question. "I have no idea" is the solution I still offer, since its true. Facebook has still yet to provide me a reason my account was handicapped. After reading the reasons Facebook disabled accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add individuals, message sexual material, harass anybody. so why they deleted me didn't make sense. Only after I check out various other short articles did I understand a bit much more.
Facebook can disable your account if your screen name is various than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, but not by much. It was still phonetically the same, but spelled various than the remainder of my household. I likewise had a customer who recently used a contest promotion to enhance their email list. According to Facebook promotional standards, competitions can only be run on Facebook via either applications: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook web page and it was gone as well. Aha!
Although the competition wasn't specifically held on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's website), as well as the victor was informed through email (you can not introduce winners on your wall), I was confident this was the annoying activity which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Goodbye'.
Now it had to do with a week given that I initially created Facebook that fateful early morning, and also I still hadn't received a reply. I revisited the web page allowing me to call Facebook, and also explained that I now had a better idea about why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I promised never ever to do something like that again (was it actually that negative??) if they just reable my account.
I sent that off as well as waited once again. After a couple of more days I understood something. something extremely vital-- I created a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never ever gotten the e-mail since it was readied to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Harsh.
So I sent out one more 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 before this email, I would certainly have never ever received it.
A few days later on I lastly received an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Below's the only reaction 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 response-- certain Facebook is a 'young' company, yet I make certain there need to be somebody there with better tact than 'we're not going to reable your account-- do not email us once again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.
So what did I gain from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never ever recognize if/when they'll decide to erase you.
2. Don't manage your numerous client's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account obtains deleted, you won't lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders who'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 considering that I had my account impaired, and had lots of time to assess the experience. I have not tried to call Facebook directly since I obtained the email from Javier, yet I did start the website www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the negative experience.
Do I want Facebook to transform their disabling policy? Nope.
I handle a couple of MU sites and also if you desire somebody off your site, by all means remove them/block them/whatever. However, for Facebook to disable the account and also to keep the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if nobody uploaded content onto the website-- No photos to share or tag-- No write-ups to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should enable those that they disabled to download their account, letting them retrieve their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, before going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their pals status updates (as opposed to 'Suching as' it). Facebook currently makes it possible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a bit more mature in this area-- especially with their IPO introduced. I'm in fact considering buying stock so they will need to pay attention to my complaint-- at the very least I'll profit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, and also if so exactly how?
