Facebook Disabled My Account
When A Facebook Account Is Deactivated
Visualize my shock when I attempted to authorize right into Facebook one early morning just to obtain the adhering to message:
My account was disabled? What does that also imply?
I tried to log in with another browser and I obtained the very same message. Facebook impaired my account!
Facebook provided a type submission page for those wanting to contact Facebook concerning their impaired account, as well as I emailed them essentially asking why my account was impaired and also how I can obtain gain access to back to the countless web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I take care of a selection of web pages for clients, and was always conscious regarding the material I uploaded-- after all, my parents are on Facebook also.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent out an email to the pals who's email addresses I really had and explained what took place. 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 got from that email were identified right into three various classifications:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you published political stuff (I such as Ron Paul and also shared material about #OWS).
- Perhaps someone flagged you.
I read up on some of the posts by others that have actually had their accounts handicapped to discover why my own was instantly drawn-- without alerting I must add. The publishing dates on the write-ups cover the lifetime of Facebook, revealing that the firm has forever gotten on a behind the curtain campaign of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I discovered some posts by well-known blog writers or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Many of these high-profiled Facebook individuals had their accounts and/or web pages reabled soon after Facebook found that they disabled. For the rest people, we're generally on our very own.
Reading these posts really did not infuse much hope in me or my circumstance. The realization of what I lost was beginning to set in also.
Throughout the years I had computer systems accident, taken, lost, etc. and also relied on Facebook to host all my traveling and event images. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not upload all my photos on Facebook for my friends as well as family to watch at their discretion? There were well over 2000 pictures, many videos, post (notes), plus all the contacts (I still have not been able to reconnect with lots of that were all shed when Facebook disabled my account). This was looking to be a really grim circumstance as I additionally recognized just what was lost.
I had to gain back access to Facebook to take care of the pages for my customers, and likewise for my very own ventures. Most of my web pages' admin accessibility were shown to a partner as well as were conveniently held up up with the new Facebook account I begrudgingly produced, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the new account.
A few of the Facebook pages admin access were shared with my customers, whom I had 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 manage my Facebook page why their Facebook account was impaired. Would not you?
I still do not have an answer to that inquiry. "I have no suggestion" is the solution I still give, due to the fact that its real. Facebook has still yet to give me a reason my account was handicapped. After reading the reasons Facebook impaired accounts on their web page I was still at night. I didn't spam-add people, article sex-related material, pester anybody. so why they erased me really did not make sense. Just after I read various other short articles did I understand 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, however not by a lot. It was still phonetically the same, however led to various than the remainder of my family members. I also had a customer who lately made use of a contest promotion to boost their email listing. According to Facebook marketing standards, contests can just be worked on Facebook with either apps: ShortStack and also WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I examined that client's Facebook web page and it was gone also. Aha!
Although the contest had not been exactly hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's internet site), and also the winner was alerted using email (you can not introduce winners on your wall), I was certain this was the upseting action which had me brought in off Facebook without even a 'Bye-bye'.
Now it was about a week considering that I initially composed Facebook that fateful morning, and I still hadn't gotten a reply. I revisited the web page enabling me to call Facebook, and clarified that I now had a much better suggestion about why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I vowed never ever to do something like that once more (was it really that poor??) if they just reable my account.
I sent out that off and also waited once again. After a few even 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 certainly have never gotten the email since it was set to "Skip Inbox/Delete". Severe.
So I sent out an additional 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 received it.
A couple of days later on I finally got 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,

What an adolescent feedback-- sure Facebook is a 'young' firm, however I make sure there should be somebody there with far better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- don't email us once again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.
So what did I pick up from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never recognize if/when they'll choose to erase you.
2. Do not manage your numerous client's pages with the exact same account. If one page/account obtains deleted, you won't lose them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are pretenders who's profiles are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Include as a buddy" switch making it impossible to re-add them.
Its been about a month given that I had my account handicapped, as well as had lots of time to assess the experience. I haven't tried to speak to Facebook directly since I got the e-mail from Javier, yet I did start the site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, as well as the hashtag campaign on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to draw attention to the adverse experience.
Do I desire Facebook to alter their disabling plan? Nope.
I manage a few MU sites and if you desire someone off your website, by all means erase them/block them/whatever. However, for Facebook to disable the account and also to keep 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 posts to Like-- No condition updates to LOL at-- It would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook should allow those who they disabled to download their account, letting them obtain their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, before going off to the barren wastelands of Google+, or to RT their buddies status updates (in contrast to 'Suching as' it). Facebook currently makes it possible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a handicapped account?
It's time for Facebook to obtain a little bit elder in this area-- specifically with their IPO introduced. I'm actually thinking about buying stock just so they will need to pay attention to my issue-- at the very least I'll make money from them.
Have you had your Facebook account handicapped? Did you get it back, and if so how?
