Facebook Disabled My Account
Facebook Disabled My Account
Visualize my surprise when I attempted to sign into Facebook one morning only to obtain the adhering to message:
My account was disabled? What does that even indicate?
I tried to visit with another web browser and I got the exact same message. Facebook disabled my account!
Facebook supplied a kind submission page for those desiring to write to Facebook regarding their disabled account, as well as I emailed them generally asking why my account was impaired as well as exactly how I can get access back to the countless web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I manage a range of web pages for clients, as well as was constantly conscious regarding the web content I uploaded-- nevertheless, my moms and dads are on Facebook as well.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent out an e-mail to the pals who's email addresses I really had and also explained what occurred. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were just able to be called by me on Facebook.
The replies I received from that e-mail were categorized into 3 various categories:
- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it since you uploaded political things (I such as Ron Paul as well as shared content about #OWS).
- Perhaps someone flagged you.
I research some of the short articles by others that have actually had their accounts handicapped to figure out why mine was all of a sudden pulled-- without warning I need to include. The publishing dates on the short articles span the lifetime of Facebook, revealing that the business has actually forever gotten on a behind the curtain project of disabling accounts at their discernment.
I located some posts by well-known bloggers or journalists, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, as well as Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Most of these high-profiled Facebook individuals had their accounts and/or web pages reabled not long after Facebook uncovered that they disabled. For the rest people, we're basically on our very own.
Reviewing these short articles really did not impart much hope in me or my situation. The understanding of what I shed was starting to embed in too.
Over the years I had computer systems accident, swiped, lost, and so on as well as relied on Facebook to organize all my traveling and also celebration photos. The internet site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not post all my pictures on Facebook for my friends and also family members to see at their discretion? There were more than 2000 pictures, many video clips, blog posts (notes), plus all the calls (I still have not been able to reconnect with numerous that were all shed when Facebook handicapped my account). This was seeming a really stark situation as I additionally recognized just what was lost.
I needed to reclaim accessibility to Facebook to manage the web pages for my clients, as well as likewise for my own ventures. A number of my web pages' admin access were shared with a companion as well as were quickly held up up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the new account.
Some 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 brand-new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" as well as rightfully so. I, as well, would examine the individual I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Wouldn't you?
I still don't have a response to that inquiry. "I have no suggestion" is the response I still provide, because its real. Facebook has still yet to provide me a reason why my account was impaired. After reading the factors Facebook disabled accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add individuals, message sexual web content, bother anyone. so why they removed me didn't make good sense. Only after I review other articles did I understand a bit much more.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is various than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, yet not by a lot. It was still phonetically the very same, yet meant various than the remainder of my family. I additionally had a client who lately utilized a competition promotion to enhance their e-mail checklist. According to Facebook promotional standards, competitions can just be operated on Facebook through a couple of applications: ShortStack as well as WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that client's Facebook web page as well as it was gone also. Aha!
Although the contest wasn't exactly held on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's internet site), as well as the victor was notified via email (you can not reveal victors on your wall), I was certain this was the upseting activity which had me ushered off Facebook without so much as a 'Goodbye'.
At this moment it was about a week given that I originally created Facebook that fateful early morning, and I still hadn't received a reply. I revisited the page allowing me to speak to Facebook, and also discussed that I now had a far better suggestion concerning why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I swore never to do something like that once more (was it actually that negative??) if they simply reable my account.
I sent out that off as well as waited once again. After a couple of even more days I recognized something. something really essential-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook emails. Even if they did email me, I would have never obtained the email because it was readied to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Extreme.
So I sent another email to Facebook, this time letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail and also if they did contact me before this e-mail, I would certainly have never ever received it.
A few days later on I ultimately obtained an email from Javier at Facebook. Below'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,
Javier

What an adolescent reaction-- certain Facebook is a 'young' company, but 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 again.' OKAY Facebook.
So what did I pick up from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never recognize if/when they'll determine to remove you.
2. Do not handle your various client's web pages with the same account. If one page/account gets deleted, you won't shed them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders that's profiles are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Include as a good friend" switch making it difficult to re-add them.
Its been about a month given that I had my account disabled, and had lots of time to reflect on the experience. I have not attempted to contact Facebook directly since I got the email from Javier, yet I did start the internet site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, as well as the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the adverse experience.
Do I desire Facebook to transform their disabling plan? Nope.
I handle a few MU sites as well as if you want a person off your site, of course remove them/block them/whatever. But for Facebook to disable the account as well as to keep the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog articles, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if nobody uploaded content onto the website-- No pictures to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No condition updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook must enable 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 pals standing updates (in contrast to 'Liking' it). Facebook currently makes it feasible for an active account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a bit elder in this area-- particularly with their IPO announced. I'm actually taking into consideration buying stock so they will certainly have to pay attention to my issue-- at least I'll benefit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, as well as if so how?
