My Facebook Account Was Disabled | New 2019

To claim that Facebook plays a big part in my life is a little an understatement-- as I make sure it is for any other social networks supervisor. Not just do I use it to keep in touch with friends and family-- however I'm for life including content to one of the many pages I admin, whether for myself or for customers.

My Facebook Account Was Disabled



Facebook Disabled My Account



Picture my shock when I tried to authorize into Facebook one morning only to receive the adhering to message:

My account was disabled? What does that even suggest?

I attempted to visit with one more browser and I got the exact same message. Facebook handicapped my account!

Facebook supplied a form submission page for those wanting to write to Facebook about their handicapped account, and I emailed them essentially asking why my account was handicapped as well as just how I can obtain accessibility back to the numerous web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I take care of a selection of pages for clients, and was constantly mindful concerning the content I posted-- besides, my parents are on Facebook too.

After sending out the email to Facebook, I sent out an email to the buddies who's email addresses I actually had and also described what took place. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were only able to be called by me on Facebook.

The replies I got from that e-mail were classified right into three various categories:

- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it since you uploaded political things (I such as Ron Paul as well as common content concerning #OWS).
- Perhaps someone flagged you.

I research some of the articles by others who have had their accounts disabled to learn why mine was all of a sudden pulled-- without advising I ought to add. The publishing dates on the short articles extend the lifetime of Facebook, showing that the firm has actually permanently been on a behind-the-scenes campaign of disabling accounts at their discernment.

I found some short articles by renowned blog owners or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and also Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Many of these high-profiled Facebook users had their accounts and/or web pages reabled not long after Facebook uncovered who they disabled. For the remainder of us, we're generally on our very own.

Checking out these articles really did not infuse much hope in me or my scenario. The awareness of what I shed was beginning to embed in too.

Throughout the years I had computer systems crash, stolen, lost, etc. and relied on Facebook to host all my travel and also celebration images. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not submit all my pictures on Facebook for my friends as well as family members to see at their discernment? There were well over 2000 photos, numerous video clips, blog posts (notes), plus all the calls (I still have not had the ability to reconnect with numerous that were all shed when Facebook impaired my account). This was seeming an extremely stark scenario as I additionally recognized just what was shed.

I needed to regain access to Facebook to manage the pages for my customers, as well as also for my very own business. A number of my pages' admin accessibility were shared with a partner as well as were quickly set back up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly produced, cursing Facebook under my breath as I set up the new account.

A few of the Facebook web pages admin gain access to were shown 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 get disabled?" and also rightfully so. I, too, would certainly examine the person I paid to manage my Facebook page why their Facebook account was disabled. Would not you?

I still do not have a solution to that inquiry. "I have no concept" is the response I still provide, because its true. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was impaired. After checking out the reasons Facebook handicapped accounts on their page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add people, blog post sex-related content, bother any individual. so why they erased me really did not make good sense. Only after I review various other articles did I recognize a bit more.

Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certification. Mine was, however not by a lot. It was still phonetically the exact same, yet meant different than the rest of my household. I additionally had a client that lately made use of a contest promotion to boost their email listing. According to Facebook marketing standards, competitions can just be worked on Facebook with a couple of apps: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that client's Facebook page and also it was gone too. Aha!

Although the competition wasn't specifically hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's web site), as well as the victor was informed using e-mail (you can not reveal champions on your wall surface), I was certain this was the upseting activity which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Au revoir'.

At this moment it was about a week since I originally created Facebook that eventful morning, and I still had not obtained a reply. I revisited the web page allowing me to speak to Facebook, and also discussed that I currently had a better concept regarding why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I pledged never ever to do something like that once more (was it truly that bad??) if they just reable my account.

I sent out that off and waited once more. After a few more days I understood something. something very essential-- I produced a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would have never gotten the e-mail since it was readied to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Extreme.

So I sent out another email to Facebook, this time around letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me before this email, I would have never gotten it.

A couple of days later on I finally got an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Right here's the only response 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 action-- certain Facebook is a 'young' firm, but I'm sure there have to be a person there with much better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.

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

1. Back up your account! You never ever understand if/when they'll choose to remove you.
2. Don't handle your numerous client's pages with the exact same account. If one page/account gets removed, you won't lose them all.
3. A lot of my friends are pretenders who's profiles are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Add as a buddy" 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 review the experience. I have not attempted to contact Facebook directly considering that I obtained the e-mail from Javier, yet I did begin the internet site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and also the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to draw attention to the unfavorable experience.

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

I manage a couple of MU websites and if you want a person off your site, 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 articles, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if no one uploaded content onto the website-- No pictures to share or tag-- No short articles to Like-- No status updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be NOTHING.

Facebook should allow those that they disabled to download their account, letting them get their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, before going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their pals condition updates (instead of 'Liking' it). Facebook already makes it feasible for an active account to be downloaded, so why not a handicapped account?

It's time for Facebook to get a little bit elder in this area-- especially with their IPO introduced. I'm in fact considering buying stock just so they will have to pay attention to my problem-- at the very least I'll benefit from them.

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