Facebook Disabled My Account
My Facebook Is Deactivated
Imagine my shock when I tried to sign into Facebook one morning only to obtain the adhering to message:
My account was disabled? What does that also indicate?
I tried to visit with another web browser and I obtained the very same message. Facebook impaired my account!
Facebook supplied a type submission web page for those wishing to contact Facebook regarding their disabled account, and also I emailed them generally asking why my account was impaired as well as how I can obtain accessibility back to the countless pages I'm an admin for. I discussed that I take care of a variety of web pages for customers, as well as was constantly conscious about the web content I uploaded-- after all, my parents are on Facebook also.
After sending out the email to Facebook, I sent out an e-mail to the good friends that's e-mail addresses I actually had as well as clarified what occurred. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, most of my friends were just able to be gotten in touch with by me on Facebook.
The replies I obtained from that e-mail were classified right into three different classifications:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it because you published political things (I such as Ron Paul and also common web content concerning #OWS).
- Possibly someone flagged you.
I research several of the articles by others that have actually had their accounts handicapped to discover why mine was suddenly pulled-- without warning I should include. The posting dates on the articles span the life time of Facebook, showing that the business has actually for life gotten on a behind-the-scenes campaign of disabling accounts at their discernment.
I located some posts by popular blog writers or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Much of these high-profiled Facebook users had their profiles and/or pages reabled not long after Facebook found who they disabled. For the remainder of us, we're essentially on our very own.
Checking out these short articles didn't impart much hope in me or my circumstance. The awareness of what I shed was beginning to embed in also.
Over the years I had computers accident, swiped, shed, etc. and rely upon Facebook to host all my traveling and also celebration pictures. The website isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not submit all my photos on Facebook for my friends as well as family members to check out at their discernment? There were more than 2000 pictures, countless videos, post (notes), plus all the calls (I still haven't been able to reconnect with many that were all lost when Facebook disabled my account). This was seeming a really bleak situation as I better recognized simply what was shed.
I had to reclaim access to Facebook to handle the web pages for my clients, as well as additionally for my very own enterprises. A lot of my pages' admin accessibility were shared with a partner as well as were quickly held up up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I set up the brand-new account.
A few of the Facebook pages admin access were shared with my customers, whom I needed to contact to have them re-add me with my new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" and also rightfully so. I, too, would question the person I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was disabled. Wouldn't you?
I still do not have an answer to that concern. "I have no suggestion" is the response I still offer, due to the fact that its real. Facebook has still yet to offer me a reason that my account was disabled. After reading the factors Facebook impaired accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add individuals, blog post sexual material, bug anyone. so why they removed me really did not make good sense. Only after I review other write-ups did I recognize a bit more.
Facebook can disable your account if your display name is various than that on your birth certification. Mine was, however not by much. It was still phonetically the exact same, yet spelled various than the remainder of my household. I additionally had a customer who recently made use of a contest promotion to raise their email listing. According to Facebook marketing standards, competitions can only be run on Facebook via a couple of apps: ShortStack as well as WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that customer's Facebook page as well as it was gone too. Aha!
Although the contest had not been precisely hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's internet site), and also the champion was informed by means of e-mail (you can not introduce victors on your wall), I was confident this was the angering activity which had me brought in off Facebook without so much as a 'Goodbye'.
At this moment it had to do with a week since I at first wrote Facebook that fateful early morning, as well as I still had not obtained a reply. I revisited the web page permitting me to speak to Facebook, and also clarified that I now had a better suggestion concerning why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I pledged never ever to do something like that again (was it actually that bad??) if they just reable my account.
I sent out that off and also waited once again. After a few even more days I understood something. something really essential-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never gotten the e-mail due to the fact that it was readied to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Rough.
So I sent an additional email to Facebook, this time around letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail and also if they did contact me prior to this e-mail, I would certainly have never ever received it.
A couple of days later on I finally obtained an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Below'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,

What a juvenile reaction-- certain Facebook is a 'young' firm, yet I make sure there need to be somebody 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 gain from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never ever recognize if/when they'll determine to erase you.
2. Don't manage your numerous customer's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account gets deleted, you won't shed them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders who's accounts are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Add as a pal" switch making it difficult to re-add them.
Its had to do with a month since I had my account disabled, as well as had great deals of time to reflect on the experience. I have not tried to get in touch with Facebook directly because I obtained the email from Javier, but I did start the site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the negative experience.
Do I want Facebook to change their disabling plan? Nope.
I handle a couple of MU websites 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 keep the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if no one uploaded web content onto the website-- No photos to share or tag-- No short articles to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should allow those who they disabled to download their account, letting them fetch their photos/videos/notes/ etc., before going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their good friends standing updates (in contrast to 'Suching as' it). Facebook already makes it feasible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a bit elder in this field-- especially with their IPO introduced. I'm actually considering buying stock just so they will certainly need to listen to my issue-- at the very least I'll benefit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, as well as if so exactly how?
