Facebook Disabled My Account
This Account Has Been Deactivated Facebook
Imagine my surprise when I attempted to authorize into Facebook one early morning only to get the following message:
My account was disabled? What does that even imply?
I tried to visit with one more web browser as well as I got the very same message. Facebook handicapped my account!
Facebook supplied a kind submission page for those wishing to write to Facebook regarding their handicapped account, and also I emailed them essentially asking why my account was disabled as well as just how I can obtain gain access to back to the numerous pages I'm an admin for. I described that I take care of a selection of pages for customers, and also was constantly mindful about the material I published-- after all, my moms and dads are on Facebook as well.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent an e-mail to the friends who's email addresses I actually had and also discussed what happened. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, a lot of my friends were just able to be called by me on Facebook.
The replies I received from that e-mail were identified into 3 different classifications:
- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it because you published political stuff (I such as Ron Paul and also shared material regarding #OWS).
- Maybe somebody flagged you.
I check out some of the articles by others who have had their accounts handicapped to find out why mine was unexpectedly drawn-- without advising I ought to add. The publishing dates on the write-ups span the life time of Facebook, revealing that the firm has for life gotten on a behind the curtain project of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I found some articles by popular bloggers or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Much of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their accounts and/or web pages reabled soon after Facebook uncovered that they disabled. For the rest people, we're basically on our own.
Checking out these posts really did not impart much hope in me or my circumstance. The understanding of what I lost was starting to set in too.
For many years I had computers crash, swiped, shed, etc. and rely upon Facebook to host all my travel and event pictures. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not publish all my pictures on Facebook for my friends and family members to see at their discretion? There were more than 2000 images, numerous video clips, blog posts (notes), plus all the calls (I still haven't had the ability to reconnect with lots of who were all lost when Facebook handicapped my account). This was looking to be a really grim scenario as I better realized simply what was shed.
I had to gain back accessibility to Facebook to take care of the pages for my customers, and also for my very own ventures. Most of my web pages' admin gain access to were shared with a companion and also were easily held up 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 pages admin access were shown to my customers, whom I needed to call to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. All of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" and truly so. I, as well, would examine the person I paid to handle my Facebook page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Wouldn't you?
I still do not have a solution to that question. "I have no idea" is the solution I still give, due to the fact that its true. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason why my account was disabled. After checking out the factors Facebook impaired accounts on their page I was still at night. I really did not spam-add people, post sexual web content, bug anybody. so why they removed me didn't make sense. Only after I check out other posts did I comprehend a little bit much more.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, yet spelled different than the rest of my household. I additionally had a customer that lately utilized a competition promo to boost their email checklist. According to Facebook advertising guidelines, contests 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 page and also it was gone as well. Aha!
Although the competition had not been specifically hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's website), and also the winner was informed using email (you can not announce winners on your wall), I was certain this was the offending action which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Adieu'.
At this moment it was about a week since I initially wrote Facebook that eventful early morning, and I still hadn't received a reply. I revisited the page permitting me to speak to Facebook, and also explained that I now had a much better idea regarding why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I pledged never ever to do something like that again (was it actually that negative??) if they simply reable my account.
I sent that off and waited once again. After a couple of more days I realized something. something very essential-- I created a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would have never received the e-mail since it was set to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Harsh.
So I sent out an additional e-mail to Facebook, this time around letting them recognize that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did call me before this e-mail, I would certainly have never gotten it.
A couple of days later I finally obtained an email from Javier at Facebook. Right here's the only action 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 action-- certain Facebook is a 'young' company, but I'm sure there must be somebody there with far better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- do not email us once again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.
So what did I gain from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never ever know if/when they'll determine to erase you.
2. Don't handle your various customer's web pages with the exact same account. If one page/account gets deleted, you will not lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are snobs who's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Include as a buddy" button making it impossible to re-add them.
Its been about a month considering that I had my account disabled, and also had lots of time to review the experience. I haven't attempted to call Facebook straight given that I received the email from Javier, yet I did start the internet site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and also the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to draw attention to the negative experience.
Do I want Facebook to transform their disabling policy? Nope.
I manage a couple of MU websites and also if you desire someone off your website, of course remove them/block them/whatever. But for Facebook to disable the account and to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would certainly Facebook be if no one uploaded content onto the website-- No images to share or tag-- No articles to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would be NOTHING.
Facebook must permit those who they disabled to download their account, letting them obtain their photos/videos/notes/ etc., prior to going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their buddies standing updates (in contrast to 'Suching as' it). Facebook currently makes it feasible for an active account to be downloaded and install, so why not an impaired account?
It's time for Facebook to get a little bit elder in this area-- particularly with their IPO announced. I'm in fact taking into consideration buying stock just so they will certainly have to pay attention to my issue-- at the very least I'll profit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account handicapped? Did you get it back, and also if so exactly how?
