My Facebook Account is Deactivated | New 2019

To state that Facebook plays a big part in my life is a little an exaggeration-- as I'm sure it is for any other social media supervisor. Not just do I utilize it to interact with friends and family-- yet I'm for life including material to among the many pages I admin, whether for myself or for clients.

My Facebook Account Is Deactivated

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

My account was disabled? What does that also imply?

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

Facebook provided a type submission page for those desiring to write to Facebook about their impaired account, as well as I emailed them primarily asking why my account was impaired as well as exactly how I can obtain access back to the many pages I'm an admin for. I described that I take care of a variety of pages for customers, as well as was constantly conscious concerning the web content I uploaded-- after all, my moms and dads are on Facebook as well.

After sending out the e-mail to Facebook, I sent out an e-mail to the friends who's email addresses I actually had and also described what happened. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, a lot of my friends were only able to be contacted by me on Facebook.

The replies I received from that email were categorized right into 3 different categories:

- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it since you uploaded political stuff (I like Ron Paul as well as common material about #OWS).
- Perhaps someone flagged you.

I read up on several of the posts by others that have had their accounts disabled to discover why mine was unexpectedly pulled-- without warning I must include. The posting dates on the write-ups span the lifetime of Facebook, showing that the company has for life gotten on a behind-the-scenes campaign of disabling accounts at their discernment.

I discovered some posts by well-known bloggers or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). A lot of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their profiles and/or web pages reabled not long after Facebook found that they disabled. For the remainder people, we're essentially on our own.

Reading these write-ups didn't impart much hope in me or my circumstance. The awareness of what I shed was beginning to set in too.

For many years I had computer systems accident, stolen, shed, and so on and also depend on Facebook to host all my travel as well as party photos. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not upload all my pictures on Facebook for my friends and family to view at their discretion? There were more than 2000 images, numerous videos, post (notes), plus all the get in touches with (I still haven't been able to reconnect with lots of that were all lost when Facebook impaired my account). This was looking to be an extremely bleak circumstance as I further realized simply what was shed.

I needed to restore access to Facebook to handle the pages for my clients, and additionally for my own enterprises. Much of my pages' admin access were shared with a companion and also were easily held up up with the 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 my customers, whom I needed to get in touch with 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, as well, would examine the person I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Would not you?

I still do not have a response to that concern. "I have no idea" is the solution I still provide, due to the fact that its true. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason that my account was impaired. After reading the factors Facebook handicapped accounts on their web page I was still at night. I didn't spam-add individuals, blog post sexual content, pester any person. so why they erased me didn't make sense. Just after I review other write-ups did I comprehend a little bit more.

Facebook can disable your account if your display name is various than that on your birth certification. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, but meant different than the rest of my household. I likewise had a client that lately made use of a contest promotion to enhance their e-mail list. According to Facebook marketing guidelines, contests can only be worked on Facebook via either apps: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook web page and it was gone too. Aha!

Although the competition had not been precisely organized on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's web site), and also the victor was notified by means of email (you can not introduce winners on your wall), I was certain this was the annoying action which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Goodbye'.

At this moment it was about a week considering that I initially composed Facebook that eventful early morning, and also I still had not obtained a reply. I took another look at the web page permitting me to call Facebook, as well as discussed that I currently had a far better concept regarding why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I vowed never ever to do something like that again (was it really that negative??) if they just reable my account.

I sent that off and also waited once more. After a couple of more days I understood something. something really crucial-- I produced a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would have never obtained the email since it was readied to "Miss Inbox/Delete". Rough.

So I sent out another email to Facebook, this time around letting them know that I had a filter on my gmail and also if they did call me before this e-mail, I would have never ever received it.

A couple of days later I finally obtained an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. Right here's the only action 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,

What a juvenile feedback-- sure Facebook is a 'young' business, but I make sure there have to be a person there with better tact than 'we're not going to reable your account-- don't email us once more.' ALRIGHT Facebook.

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

1. Back up your account! You never ever recognize if/when they'll choose to erase you.
2. Do not handle your various customer's web pages with the very same account. If one page/account gets removed, you won't shed them all.
3. A lot of my friends are pretenders that's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Add as a buddy" button making it difficult to re-add them.

Its been about a month given that I had my account impaired, and had great deals of time to reflect on the experience. I haven't attempted to speak to Facebook directly since I received the e-mail from Javier, but I did start the web site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the adverse experience.

Do I desire Facebook to transform their disabling plan? Nope.

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

Facebook should allow those who 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 condition updates (rather than 'Liking' it). Facebook already makes it feasible for an energetic account to be downloaded and install, so why not a handicapped account?

It's time for Facebook to obtain a little bit elder in this area-- particularly with their IPO announced. I'm actually thinking about buying stock just so they will certainly need to listen to my problem-- at least I'll profit from them.

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