Facebook Disabled My Account
When A Facebook Account Is Deactivated
Visualize my shock when I attempted to sign into Facebook one morning just to receive the adhering to message:
My account was disabled? What does that also indicate?
I tried to log in with one more web browser as well as I obtained the exact same message. Facebook disabled my account!
Facebook supplied a form submission web page for those wishing to write to Facebook concerning their handicapped account, and I emailed them primarily asking why my account was handicapped and also how I can obtain access back to the many web pages I'm an admin for. I discussed that I manage a variety of pages for clients, as well as was always conscious concerning the material I posted-- after all, my moms and dads are on Facebook as well.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent out an e-mail to the pals that's email addresses I actually had as well as described what took place. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, a lot of my friends were just able to be contacted by me on Facebook.
The replies I got from that email were identified into 3 various categories:
- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it because you uploaded political things (I like Ron Paul as well as shared material regarding #OWS).
- Possibly someone flagged you.
I read up on several of the write-ups by others that have actually had their accounts handicapped to figure out why my own was instantly drawn-- without alerting I should include. The publishing dates on the write-ups cover the lifetime of Facebook, showing that the company has actually permanently been on a behind the curtain campaign of disabling accounts at their discernment.
I located some articles by renowned blog owners or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and also Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Most of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their accounts and/or pages reabled not long after Facebook found that they disabled. For the remainder of us, we're primarily on our very own.
Reading these short articles didn't impart much hope in me or my situation. The understanding of what I lost was beginning to set in too.
Throughout the years I had computer systems collision, taken, lost, and so on and also relied on Facebook to organize all my travel and also celebration photos. The site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not submit all my pictures on Facebook for my friends as well as family to check out at their discernment? There were more than 2000 photos, countless video clips, article (notes), plus all the get in touches with (I still haven't had the ability to reconnect with lots of who were all lost when Facebook impaired my account). This was looking to be a very bleak scenario as I further recognized just what was shed.
I had to reclaim accessibility to Facebook to manage the web pages for my customers, and also for my very own business. Many of my web pages' admin gain access to were shown to a companion as well as were conveniently set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I set up the brand-new account.
Several of the Facebook web pages admin gain access to were shown to my clients, whom I had to contact to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. All of them asked "Why did your account get disabled?" as well as rightfully so. I, also, would question the individual 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 inquiry. "I have no concept" is the response I still offer, since its true. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was handicapped. After checking out the reasons Facebook disabled accounts on their page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add people, article sexual material, bug anybody. so why they deleted me really did not make good sense. Just after I review other posts did I recognize a little bit more.
Facebook can disable your account if your screen name is different than that on your birth certification. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the exact same, yet led to various than the remainder of my household. I likewise had a customer that recently utilized a competition promo to raise their email listing. According to Facebook marketing guidelines, competitions can just be worked on Facebook via one of two apps: ShortStack and also WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that customer's Facebook page as well as it was gone as well. Aha!
Although the competition wasn't exactly held on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's website), and the winner was notified using e-mail (you can not reveal victors on your wall), I was certain this was the offending action which had me brought in off Facebook without even a 'Adieu'.
At this point it had to do with a week since I originally composed Facebook that eventful early morning, as well as I still hadn't gotten a reply. I took another look at the page allowing me to call Facebook, and also clarified that I now had a better suggestion concerning why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I swore never to do something like that once again (was it actually that negative??) if they simply reable my account.
I sent that off and also waited once again. After a few even more days I realized something. something really vital-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never received the email due to the fact that it was readied to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Extreme.
So I sent an additional email to Facebook, this moment letting them know that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me prior to this email, I would have never obtained it.
A couple of days later on I ultimately obtained an email from Javier at Facebook. Here'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' firm, however I'm sure there have to be somebody there with better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us once more.' OKAY Facebook.
So what did I gain from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never understand if/when they'll choose to remove you.
2. Do not manage your numerous client's web pages with the very same account. If one page/account gets removed, you will not shed them all.
3. A lot of my friends are snobs that's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Include as a buddy" switch making it difficult to re-add them.
Its had to do with a month because I had my account disabled, and also had lots of time to reflect on the experience. I haven't tried to speak to Facebook directly because I obtained the e-mail from Javier, but I did begin the internet site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the adverse experience.
Do I want Facebook to change their disabling policy? Nope.
I handle a few MU sites and if you want a person off your website, by all means delete them/block them/whatever. However, 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 website-- No pictures to share or tag-- No write-ups to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should allow those that they disabled to download their account, letting them recover their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, prior to going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their good friends status updates (rather than 'Liking' it). Facebook already makes it possible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not an impaired account?
It's time for Facebook to get a little bit elder around-- particularly with their IPO announced. I'm actually taking into consideration buying stock just so they will certainly have to pay attention to my issue-- at least I'll make money from them.
Have you had your Facebook account handicapped? Did you get it back, and also if so just how?
