Facebook Disabled My Account
Facebook Account Deactivated
Imagine my surprise when I attempted to authorize right into Facebook one morning just to receive the adhering to message:
My account was disabled? What does that even mean?
I tried to log in with another internet browser as well as I obtained the very same message. Facebook impaired my account!
Facebook supplied a kind entry page for those desiring to contact Facebook about their impaired account, as well as I emailed them generally asking why my account was handicapped and exactly how I can get access back to the various web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I manage a selection of pages for customers, as well as was constantly conscious regarding the material I uploaded-- after all, my moms and dads are on Facebook as well.
After sending out the e-mail to Facebook, I sent an email to the buddies who's e-mail addresses I actually had as well as discussed what happened. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were just able to be contacted by me on Facebook.
The replies I obtained from that email were categorized into 3 different groups:
- WTF/WTH-- why would certainly they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you published political stuff (I such as Ron Paul and also common content about #OWS).
- Maybe someone flagged you.
I research some of the articles by others who have had their accounts disabled to learn why my own was instantly drawn-- without advising I need to add. The posting days on the short articles cover the lifetime of Facebook, showing that the business has actually permanently been on a behind the curtain campaign of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I found some posts by well-known bloggers or reporters, including Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). A lot of these high-profiled Facebook customers had their accounts and/or pages reabled soon after Facebook found who they disabled. For the rest people, we're essentially on our own.
Reviewing these articles didn't infuse much hope in me or my circumstance. The realization of what I shed was beginning to set in also.
Over the years I had computers collision, taken, shed, and so on and count on Facebook to hold all my travel as well as celebration pictures. The internet site isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not publish all my images on Facebook for my friends and also household to view at their discernment? There were more than 2000 images, many video clips, post (notes), plus all the calls (I still have not been able to reconnect with many who were all shed when Facebook handicapped my account). This was seeming a very stark circumstance as I even more realized simply what was lost.
I had to restore access to Facebook to manage the pages for my clients, and additionally for my very own ventures. Many of my web pages' admin access were shared with a partner and also were conveniently held up up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly developed, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the brand-new account.
A few of the Facebook pages admin accessibility were shown to my clients, whom I needed to call to have them re-add me with my new account. Every one of them asked "Why did your account obtain disabled?" as well as truly so. I, also, would certainly question the individual I paid to manage my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was handicapped. Wouldn't you?
I still don't have a response to that question. "I have no concept" is the solution I still give, because its true. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason my account was impaired. After reading the reasons Facebook disabled accounts on their page I was still in the dark. I really did not spam-add individuals, message sexual material, harass any person. so why they erased me didn't make sense. Just after I check out various other write-ups did I recognize a bit extra.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is various than that on your birth certificate. Mine was, but not by a lot. It was still phonetically the very same, yet led to different than the remainder of my family. I additionally had a customer who recently used a competition promotion to raise their email list. According to Facebook advertising guidelines, contests can only be operated on Facebook with either applications: ShortStack as well as WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I inspected that client's Facebook page and it was gone too. Aha!
Although the contest wasn't specifically held on Facebook (it was hosted on the customer's website), as well as the winner was notified through e-mail (you can not reveal winners on your wall surface), I was certain this was the upseting action which had me brought in off Facebook without so much as a 'Au revoir'.
Now it was about a week considering that I originally composed Facebook that eventful early morning, and also I still hadn't gotten a reply. I took another look at the page allowing me to get in touch with Facebook, and also described that I currently had a better concept concerning why they disabled me, which I was sorry. I promised never ever to do something like that once again (was it really that bad??) if they just reable my account.
I sent out that off as well as waited once more. After a couple of even more days I understood something. something very essential-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never ever gotten the e-mail due to the fact that it was readied to "Avoid Inbox/Delete". Extreme.
So I sent out one more email to Facebook, this time letting them recognize that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did call me prior to this email, I would certainly have never received it.
A few days later I ultimately received an e-mail from Javier at Facebook. 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,
Javier

What an adolescent response-- certain Facebook is a 'young' firm, however I make certain there need to be someone there with far better tact than 'we're not going to reable your account-- do not email us once more.' ALRIGHT Facebook.
So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never ever know if/when they'll make a decision to remove you.
2. Don't manage your numerous customer's pages with the exact same account. If one page/account gets removed, you won't lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders who's profiles are either hidden from search, or they disabled the "Include as a buddy" switch making it impossible to re-add them.
Its been about a month since I had my account impaired, and also had great deals of time to assess the experience. I haven't tried to call Facebook directly given that I received the email from Javier, but I did begin the web site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, as well as the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to accentuate the adverse experience.
Do I want Facebook to change their disabling plan? Nope.
I take care of a few MU sites as well as if you want somebody off your site, by all means delete them/block them/whatever. But also for Facebook to disable the account as well as to maintain the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog blog posts, that is wrong. What would Facebook be if nobody uploaded material onto the site-- No pictures to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No standing updates to LOL at-- It would certainly be NOTHING.
Facebook must allow those who they disabled to download their account, letting them retrieve their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, before going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their friends condition updates (rather than 'Suching as' it). Facebook already makes it possible for an active account to be downloaded and install, so why not an impaired account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a little bit more mature in this area-- specifically with their IPO announced. I'm in fact thinking about buying stock just so they will have to listen to my grievance-- 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?
