Facebook Disabled My Account
Facebook Deactivated My Account
Imagine my surprise when I attempted to sign into Facebook one morning only to receive the complying with message:
My account was disabled? What does that also mean?
I tried to visit with an additional browser and I obtained the very same message. Facebook disabled my account!
Facebook provided a form submission web page for those wishing to write to Facebook concerning their handicapped account, and also I emailed them generally asking why my account was disabled as well as just how I can obtain gain access to back to the countless pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I handle a variety of pages for customers, as well as was constantly conscious about the content I uploaded-- nevertheless, my parents are on Facebook too.
After sending out the e-mail to Facebook, I sent an e-mail to the friends who's e-mail addresses I really had as well as described 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 email were classified right into three various groups:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it since you published political stuff (I such as Ron Paul and also shared content regarding #OWS).
- Possibly somebody flagged you.
I read up on several of the articles by others that have actually had their accounts impaired to find out why mine was suddenly drawn-- without alerting I ought to include. The publishing days on the articles cover the life time of Facebook, showing that the firm has actually for life been on a behind the curtain project of disabling accounts at their discernment.
I found some short articles by well-known bloggers or reporters, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). A number of these high-profiled Facebook individuals had their accounts and/or web pages reabled soon after Facebook discovered who they disabled. For the rest of us, we're basically on our own.
Reviewing these short articles didn't instill much hope in me or my scenario. The awareness of what I lost was starting to set in too.
Throughout the years I had computer systems accident, taken, shed, etc. as well as relied on Facebook to organize all my travel and celebration pictures. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not submit all my pictures on Facebook for my friends as well as household to watch at their discernment? There were more than 2000 images, many videos, article (notes), plus all the calls (I still haven't had the ability to reconnect with many that were all lost when Facebook handicapped my account). This was looking to be an extremely stark scenario as I better recognized just what was shed.
I had to regain access to Facebook to manage the web pages for my clients, and likewise for my own business. Many of my pages' admin access were shared with a companion and were easily set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly developed, cursing Facebook under my breath as I set up the new account.
Some of the Facebook pages admin access were shown to my customers, whom I had to get in touch with to have them re-add me with my new account. All of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" and truly so. I, also, would certainly question the individual I paid to manage my Facebook page why their Facebook account was disabled. Wouldn't you?
I still do not have a response to that concern. "I have no suggestion" is the response I still give, since its real. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was impaired. After reading the reasons Facebook disabled accounts on their web page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add individuals, message sexual material, harass any person. so why they deleted me didn't make good sense. Only after I read other write-ups did I comprehend a bit a lot more.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certification. Mine was, but not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, but led to various than the rest of my household. I additionally had a client that recently utilized a contest promotion to increase their email list. According to Facebook marketing standards, competitions can only be worked on Facebook via either applications: ShortStack as well as WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook web page as well as it was gone also. Aha!
Although the competition had not been exactly held on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's internet site), and the victor was notified using email (you can not announce champions on your wall), I was positive this was the angering action which had me ushered off Facebook without even a 'Adieu'.
Now it had to do with a week because I initially wrote Facebook that fateful morning, and I still had not obtained a reply. I reviewed the page allowing me to get in touch with Facebook, and also clarified that I now had a far better idea about why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I vowed 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 couple of more days I realized something. something extremely vital-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would have never ever gotten the e-mail due to the fact that it was readied to "Avoid Inbox/Delete". Harsh.
So I sent one more email to Facebook, this time letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me before this email, I would certainly have never ever gotten it.
A few days later I finally obtained an email from Javier at Facebook. Here'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 an adolescent reaction-- sure Facebook is a 'young' business, yet I make sure there have to be somebody there with better tact than 'we're not going to reable your account-- don't email us once again.' OK Facebook.
So what did I pick up from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never recognize if/when they'll decide to delete you.
2. Do not manage your various client's web pages with the same account. If one page/account gets erased, you will not lose them all.
3. A lot of my friends are pretenders that's accounts are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Add as a pal" button making it difficult to re-add them.
Its had to do with a month since I had my account handicapped, as well as had great deals of time to reflect on the experience. I haven't tried to call Facebook straight given that I got the e-mail from Javier, however I did begin the site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the adverse experience.
Do I desire Facebook to change their disabling plan? Nope.
I take care of a couple of MU websites as well as if you desire someone off your site, of course delete them/block them/whatever. However, for Facebook to disable the account as well as to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if no one uploaded content onto the website-- No images to share or tag-- No write-ups to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be NOTHING.
Facebook needs to permit those who they disabled to download their account, letting them fetch their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, prior to going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their close friends standing updates (rather than 'Liking' it). Facebook currently makes it possible for an active account to be downloaded and install, so why not an impaired account?
It's time for Facebook to get a bit elder in this field-- specifically with their IPO introduced. I'm really taking into consideration buying stock so they will need to pay attention to my issue-- at the very least I'll benefit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account handicapped? Did you get it back, and if so exactly how?
