Facebook Account Disabled | New 2019

To say that Facebook plays a large component in my life is a bit of an understatement-- as I'm sure it is for any other social media manager. Not only do I use it to communicate with loved ones-- but I'm forever adding content to one of the many pages I admin, whether for myself or for clients.

Facebook Account Disabled

Picture my surprise when I attempted to sign right into Facebook one early morning just to get the complying with message:

My account was disabled? What does that even mean?

I tried to visit with one more browser and also I obtained the same message. Facebook handicapped my account!

Facebook supplied a kind entry web page for those wishing to write to Facebook about their handicapped account, and also I emailed them essentially asking why my account was handicapped and also exactly how I can get access back to the various web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I manage a variety of pages for customers, and also was always mindful regarding the content I published-- after all, my parents are on Facebook too.

After sending the email to Facebook, I sent an e-mail to the buddies who's email addresses I actually had and also 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 received from that e-mail were categorized into three different classifications:

- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you uploaded political things (I like Ron Paul as well as common material concerning #OWS).
- Possibly someone flagged you.

I read up on some of the write-ups by others who have actually had their accounts impaired to learn why my own was unexpectedly drawn-- without alerting I need to add. The posting days on the posts extend the lifetime of Facebook, revealing that the firm has for life been on a behind the curtain project of disabling accounts at their discernment.

I located some write-ups by well-known bloggers or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and also Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Most of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their accounts and/or pages reabled soon after Facebook found who they disabled. For the remainder people, we're generally on our very own.

Checking out these articles didn't impart much hope in me or my situation. The understanding of what I lost was starting to embed in also.

Throughout the years I had computer systems accident, swiped, lost, etc. and also rely upon Facebook to host all my traveling as well as party photos. The website isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not submit all my photos on Facebook for my friends and also family members to check out at their discernment? There were well over 2000 pictures, many videos, post (notes), plus all the contacts (I still have not been able to reconnect with numerous that were all lost when Facebook disabled my account). This was looking to be a really grim scenario as I better recognized simply what was shed.

I needed to regain accessibility to Facebook to handle the pages for my customers, and also for my own ventures. Most of my web pages' admin gain access to were shown a partner and also were conveniently set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the new account.

A few of the Facebook web pages admin accessibility were shown to my clients, 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 get disabled?" as well as truly so. I, as well, would certainly examine the individual I paid to manage my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Wouldn't you?

I still do not have a response to that question. "I have no concept" is the solution I still provide, since its true. Facebook has still yet to provide me a reason that my account was handicapped. After checking out the reasons Facebook disabled accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add people, article sex-related content, harass anybody. so why they deleted me really did not make good sense. Only after I check out other articles did I comprehend a little bit more.

Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, yet not by much. It was still phonetically the exact same, but meant various than the remainder of my family members. I also had a client that lately utilized a competition promo to boost their email list. According to Facebook promotional guidelines, competitions can just be worked on Facebook with either applications: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I checked that client's Facebook web page and also it was gone too. Aha!

Although the contest had not been precisely hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's web site), and also the victor was informed using e-mail (you can not announce winners on your wall), I was positive this was the offending action which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Au revoir'.

At this point it was about a week because I at first wrote Facebook that fateful early morning, as well as I still hadn't gotten a reply. I took another look at the web page permitting me to get in touch with Facebook, and discussed that I now had a much better idea about why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I pledged never to do something like that once more (was it truly that bad??) 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 really important-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never ever obtained the e-mail due to the fact that it was readied to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Rough.

So I sent another e-mail to Facebook, this time letting them recognize that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me before this e-mail, I would certainly have never obtained it.

A few days later I lastly obtained an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Below's the only response I'll likely receive 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' firm, but I make certain there need to be someone there with better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us once again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.

So what did I pick up from my experience with Facebook?

1. Back up your account! You never ever know if/when they'll choose to remove you.
2. Don't handle your various customer's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account gets deleted, you won't lose them all.
3. A lot of my friends are pretenders who's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Add as a good friend" switch making it impossible to re-add them.

Its had to do with a month because I had my account impaired, as well as had great deals of time to assess the experience. I have not tried to call Facebook directly considering that I received the email from Javier, however I did start the web site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and also the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the unfavorable experience.

Do I want Facebook to alter their disabling plan? Nope.

I manage a few MU sites and if you want somebody off your website, by all means delete them/block them/whatever. However, for Facebook to disable the account and also to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog articles, that is wrong. What would certainly Facebook be if nobody uploaded content onto the site-- No photos to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would be NOTHING.

Facebook ought to permit those that they disabled to download their account, letting them fetch their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, prior to going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their close friends standing updates (rather than 'Liking' 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 get a bit elder in this area-- especially with their IPO announced. I'm in fact considering buying stock just so they will have to pay attention to my issue-- at the minimum I'll benefit from them.

Have you had your Facebook account disabled? Did you get it back, and if so exactly how?
