Facebook Disabled My Account
My Facebook Is Deactivated
Imagine my surprise when I tried to sign right into Facebook one early morning only to get the following message:
My account was disabled? What does that also indicate?
I tried to visit with an additional web browser as well as I obtained the same message. Facebook handicapped my account!
Facebook provided a type submission web page for those desiring to write to Facebook regarding their impaired account, and I emailed them basically asking why my account was impaired as well as exactly how I can get gain access to back to the many pages I'm an admin for. I clarified that I manage a range of pages for customers, as well as was always conscious about the content I uploaded-- besides, my parents get on Facebook also.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent an email to the pals who's email addresses I actually had and also discussed what took place. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, most of my friends were just able to be called by me on Facebook.
The replies I obtained from that e-mail were identified right into 3 various groups:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you uploaded political things (I such as Ron Paul and common web content regarding #OWS).
- Possibly someone flagged you.
I research several of the write-ups by others who have had their accounts disabled to figure out why my own was all of a sudden pulled-- without advising I must include. The posting days on the posts cover the life time of Facebook, revealing that the business has permanently been on a behind-the-scenes project of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I found some articles by popular blog owners or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and also Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Much of these high-profiled Facebook individuals had their profiles and/or web pages reabled soon after Facebook discovered who they disabled. For the rest people, we're generally on our own.
Checking out these short articles really did not instill much hope in me or my scenario. The realization of what I lost was beginning to embed in too.
Throughout the years I had computer systems accident, taken, shed, and so on and also rely upon Facebook to organize all my travel as well as celebration pictures. The website isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not upload all my photos on Facebook for my friends and family to watch at their discernment? There were well over 2000 photos, plenty of videos, blog posts (notes), plus all the get in touches with (I still have not been able to reconnect with several who were all shed when Facebook handicapped my account). This was seeming a really grim scenario as I even more realized just what was lost.
I needed to regain access to Facebook to take care of the pages for my clients, and additionally for my very own business. Much of my web pages' admin gain access to were shown to a companion and were easily set back up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the new account.
Some of the Facebook pages admin gain access to were shown to my clients, whom I had to call to have them re-add me with my new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account get disabled?" and also rightfully so. I, as well, would certainly examine the individual I paid to manage my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Wouldn't you?
I still don't have a response to that question. "I have no idea" is the answer I still give, since its real. Facebook has still yet to offer me a reason that my account was impaired. After reading the reasons Facebook impaired accounts on their web page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add people, post sex-related web content, harass anybody. so why they deleted me didn't make good sense. Just after I review other articles did I recognize a bit extra.
Facebook can disable your account if your display name is various than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the exact same, yet meant different than the remainder of my family. I also had a customer that lately made use of a contest promotion to raise their e-mail checklist. According to Facebook marketing standards, contests can only be run on Facebook with one of two applications: ShortStack and also WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook page and it was gone too. Aha!
Although the contest wasn't specifically hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's web site), and the winner was informed through e-mail (you can not reveal victors on your wall), I was certain this was the offending action which had me ushered off Facebook without even a 'Adieu'.
Now it was about a week considering that I originally composed Facebook that fateful morning, as well as I still had not obtained a reply. I reviewed the web page enabling me to get in touch with Facebook, and discussed that I currently had a far better suggestion concerning why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I pledged never ever to do something like that once again (was it actually that poor??) if they simply reable my account.
I sent that off and also waited once more. After a couple of more days I realized something. something very important-- I produced a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would have never obtained the email due to the fact that it was readied to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Extreme.
So I sent out one more email to Facebook, this time around letting them recognize that I had a filter on my gmail and if they did contact me prior to this email, I would have never received it.
A couple of days later on I lastly obtained an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Below's the only feedback 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,
Javier

What a juvenile reaction-- certain Facebook is a 'young' business, yet I make certain there have to be somebody there with better tact than 'we're not going 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 know if/when they'll choose to erase you.
2. Don't handle your numerous client's web pages with the same account. If one page/account obtains deleted, you will not shed them all.
3. A lot of my friends are pretenders that's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Add as a good friend" button making it difficult to re-add them.
Its been about a month considering that I had my account impaired, and had great deals of time to assess the experience. I have not tried to get in touch with Facebook directly given that I got the e-mail from Javier, yet I did begin the internet site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to draw attention to the negative experience.
Do I desire Facebook to alter their disabling plan? Nope.
I handle a few MU sites as well as if you desire a person off your site, by all means remove them/block them/whatever. But for Facebook to disable the account and also to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog messages, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if no one uploaded web content onto the site-- No images to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should permit those that they disabled to download their account, letting them get their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, before going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their friends condition updates (instead of 'Suching as' it). Facebook currently makes it feasible for an active account to be downloaded and install, so why not a handicapped account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a little bit elder in this field-- specifically with their IPO revealed. I'm in fact taking into consideration buying stock so they will certainly need to listen to my issue-- at the very least I'll make money from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, and also if so just how?
